Re: Flash card 應該幾大開始玩呀?
Hi Vernique2005,
Yes, I am enjoying the discussion too! I agree that books can capture BB's attention longer, so I do read books together with my BB besides flash cards.
I am very interested in the linguist you mentioned. From my understanding, Glenn Doman's flash card is based on the same important principle: association. The point of flashing math dots or words in front of BBs is to exercise their right brain to generate pictures which will be stored in their memory. When they come over those words again in later stages, they can easily recall and associate meanings to them. It is this process which will facilitate the so-called learning process.
For instance, it is quite meaningless to teach BBs the arabic symbols at this stage. What does 1, 2, 3 mean exactly? The concept is very abstract. It is us, human, who added meaning to these symbols. Wouldn't it be easier to the articulate concept of "many" and "a few" by math dots instead? In later stages when the BBs are more able to comprehend our language, they can quickly associate the symbols to the meanings.
Flashing words is only the first stages in Glenn Doman's theory. In later stages, parents need to let BB choose their "favourite" cards to make phases, clauses and sentences. That is exactly what you said you would rather do: let the BBs take their own initiatives and control~ Of course, these all stages will prepare the BB to have interest and ability to read books. Parents will need to make some "home-made" books to read with their BBs in the eventual reading stage (You can refer to Glenn Doman's "How to teach BB to read?" for more details).
Letting BBs take their own control in their learning process and to discover the world by themselves are crucial in devloping BBs' own characters and independence in child development.
My BB is very curious and she always find new things to play with, e.g. discovering how to open the lid of a box, opening the gliding door of a cupboard, untying a ribbon on her bed... and she found that very interesting too!
However, in this developed world full of human establishments (rules, laws, classroom learning...), I think it is also important to let her learn how to receive messages sent from outside (i.e. not their own discovery). I would see flash card as such an opportunity.
I guess we really need to blend in more ingredients in order to make a nice dish. Of course, we have to achieve harmony in such process. As parents or guardians, we can give more varieties and direct BBs' development! Maybe beacuse we take care of BBs of different ages and stages, we have different perspectives. However, it is the different perspectives which enriches the discussion so much. I learnt a lot from your sharing, Thanks so much! |
