I also like Dr. Poon's playgroup.
You may be right that some of the theories he mentioned could be found in books, but what we often need are forceful reminders and real-life demonstrations. For instance, two of the things he keeps stressing are, we need to be positive when talking to our babies, and we have to respect each child's own character and needs. These are no doubt very "common" advice many books will mention. but exactly how many know how to implement them? By attending the playgroup, I understand them now as Dr. Poon keeps demonstrating to us how we should talk to the babies and, more importantly, he keeps reminding/correcting us when we are not doing good enough.
You are also right that the props he uses are all very simple, and the games he taught can be played by everyone at home. This is exactly the thing I like. We are only there 60 minutes a week. Even if he has very advanced/large scale props, we could only play them once a week. how useful could that be? Yet, by teaching us to make use of simple stuffs that can be found at home (like bucket, bottles), we can play with our kids every day every night. So for me, I would rather leran how to make use of simple stuffs to have fun with my babies. What Dr. Poon taught us is that there is no need to buy very fancy toys, but by simple stuffs we already can have very great time with our kids.
After all, it is a matter of individual expectation as to which kind of playgroup fits you. For me, Dr. Poon's playgroup is what I am looking for as it is down-to-earth with lasting effect. |
