Education

Increasing The Level Of Literacy In Your Child

November 15, 2017 by Miriam Dunning Leave a Comment

We all want to give our children the best that we possibly can in life, and one of the best ways of doing this is giving them the very best education that you can, and igniting a passion in your child for learning. When children are young, their brain is like a sponge absorbing masses of information on a daily basis which helps them to develop and learn to express themselves. There are lots of ways that you can ignite this passion in your child, and all you need to spend a little time with them and show them how much fun learning can be!

What You Can Do In Your Home

There are lots of different activities that you can do with your child from a young age that will help to increase their levels of literacy. Even when your baby is only a few weeks old, talking and singing to them helps them to learn to listen and focus, preparing them to get ready to speak. A good trick is to use rhymes a lot, even if they are nonsense, as it is the patterns of speech that you are showing your child which are essential. Singing nursery rhymes is also good and if you want your child to copy you then make it fun. If you start by copying your child, then they will soon begin to copy you and make a game of things. The trick to teaching is just to make it fun, the more fun the child has, the more open they will be to learning. Talk about the things around you, the objects in your house and garden, or what you can see in pictures and storybooks. Spark their imagination and sit back and watch them thrive!

Find Somewhere That Can Assist You With The Process

Another consideration to help your child develop is to introduce them into a structured daycare facility where they will not only increase their literacy levels, but they will also be learning about social interaction, and controlling, as well as expressing their feelings. There are many excellent child care centres in Sydney, many of which offer superb facilities along with a high-level of care for the children. Choose one that teaches in a way that you are happy with, and one also has a full and varied curriculum, which will see your child learning about many new things that they have never seen or heard of before. You will know you are in the right place when you find a teacher in one of the schools that has that learning bug and also can ignite it in children, making learning a thing of fun.

Every child is different and will develop at a different rate, so do not get frustrated if your child does not develop as quick as you wanted. Give them time and find out what they like to learn, and you can find a way to set their passion for learning alight.

Top 5 Christian Values To Teach Your Children (and How To Do it)

October 15, 2017 by Miriam Dunning Leave a Comment

As a Christian mama, I have always tried my best to teach my children good, wholesome Christian values which will serve them throughout their lives. There are so many wonderful values which we can choose from our faith to teach children, many of which they will of course learn through life but it is our job as parents to instill some faith-based values.

I chose 5 key values which I wanted to teach my children and I wanted to talk to you a little about which I chose, and how I taught them to my kids.

Faith in God

At the very heart of any of the values which you will be teaching your children is having faith in God. Without God, none of these values would hold as much weight and it is though your child’s faith, that they can learn to live a good Christian life. I taught my children their faith through God practice, involving ourselves in the church family and worshipping together.

Respect

Giving respect is something that we are taught to do by the teachings of the Gospels and it is something which children must learn from an early stage. Giving respect as a Christian is not only about respecting authority but also respecting one another as well as ourselves. I taught my children how to respect with the teachings of God and through open and honest dialogue with them.

Compassion and Kindness

In line with respect, is compassion and kindness and as good Christians these are values which we must always uphold. Jesus was a man who showed great kindness and compassion throughout his life and we must all endeavor to do the same. In order to teach your children these values I think that is best to involve them in charitable works, let them see those less fortunate and encourage them to help.

Patience

Patience is something which can be difficult to teach children who want to do everything right this second, but through the teachings of the Lord we ca achieve it. It is important that Christians show patience in every aspect of our lives and if you are able to teach your children this at an early stage, you can help them to be better Christians. I like to tell my children stories and tales of those who won out through patience in order to inspire them.

Loyalty

Loyalty is a characteristic which can greatly improve anyone’s life, especially a Christian. Through loyalty your children will be able to form a stronger connection with God, better relationships throughout their life and enable them to become a far more rounded individual. In order to teach loyalty you should tell your children such stories about the apostle Thomas the Doubter amongst others. Try to encourage your kids to see the best in things and overlook insignificant matters.

Through loyalty to the faith, showing kindness and patience to others, children can really begin to live the values of a good Christian lifestyle.

How To Get Your Kids Excited About Learning a New Language

October 15, 2017 by Miriam Dunning Leave a Comment

In this day and age we live in a world which is far closer than it has ever been before. In light of this, learning a new language is a great way for people, and children in particular, to help themselves in understanding a wide range of new people, and new cultures. Learning a new language has been proven to make more connections in the brain than through the learning of any other subject and it can help people from both an intellectual point of view, and in terms of giving kids more opportunities in their lives. It is important to ask your children questions too, so you are both clear on how your child feels. A great resource written by Daniel Wong can be found here, which can be used for you to decide on what to ask your child and how to do it in the right way.

The key to helping kids learn a new language is to create some excitement around it and here are just some of the ways in which you can do exactly that with your kids.

HelloTalk

HelloTalk is without question the best language learning app out there and instead of directly educating kids, it puts them in touch with people from other countries so that they can better learn the language. Kids can use this language exchange app to make friends across the world and they can learn at the same time. The app has many great features which allow users to correct those that they are speaking with and even send voice messages. The best way to get kids excited about learning a new language is to show them the benefits and with this app, they can do just that.

Vacations

Why not try to tie your kids’ language learning in with a family vacation. For example you could take the kids to Mexico if they are learning Spanish and you can not only let them try out what they know, but also surround them by the language. The best way for someone to learn the language is through total emersion and if you take your kids on a vacation where they can practice, you can help them to get really excited about it.

Online Connections With Native Speakers

If you are willing to pay a little bit of money then you can get your kids some tutors online which can not only help them to improve how they speak the language, but also to get them excited about learning. Reading words on a  page can mean very little to kids but allowing them to connect with someone in another language is something that will pay great dividends.

Daily Items

A great way that I have found to help my eldest with his French, is to have a pop quiz about daily items. For example, if we are in the kitchen, I will hold up a banana or a pack of ham and ask him how to say it in French. This is a really fun game which my child loves and it has really boosted his overall knowledge and vocabulary.

The key is to show your kids what the benefits of learning a new language will be, in order to get them excited about learning it. Do this and your kids will have a greater appreciation for the language, and be more excited about furthering their knowledge.
