Which computer games are good for my 2 year old?

Q: I’ve introduced my 2 years old son to a computer program designed for babies that makes shapes and plays a sound every time a button is pushed. Lately, I’ve noticed that he is becoming more thoughtful about it. He used to just bang at the keys, but now he pushes one button at a time and watches what happens on the screen. For his birthday, I’ve been looking for an age-appropriate game that involves more thought. I have found a few games that are marked for 2 years and up, but they seem mostly targeted at kids closer to age 3 than 2. Do you have any suggestions? Your child going from random banging on the keyboard to touching a single key and watching to see what happens shows the important development of both better fine motor skills and the beginning of his understanding of cause and effect. However, there’s nothing unique that the computer contributes to this. This development could be equally well done with, say, an electronic piano keyboard that makes certain sounds by pressing certain keys, or by dropping a ball on the floor and seeing it bounce, or by pouring water into a sand box and seeing it turn to mud. The computer is just one kind of environment where your son can learn these skills. The reason that the software geared toward two year olds seems better for three year olds is that it is better for three year olds. The most important developmental task of two-year-old children is not to learn fact (which is what computers teach) but to learn how to learn. Computers really only provide tasks with right and wrong answers and thus don't encourage the kind of problem solving and logical thinking necessary to build flexible learners. Instead, they teach kids to memorize and to be afraid of being wrong. That fear is a problem because you want your son to take risks in learning. You want him to try things out, say new words, and play with toys in new ways. He needs to build that creativity and love of learning far more than he needs to learn his ABCs two months earlier than another child. For a birthday gift that encourages him to learn how to learn, I recommend open-ended, creative play options. Try modeling clay, markers, paper, books, musical instruments (like maracas or tambourines), a sandbox, or a building set that allows him to build free form things. From what we know about brain development at this age, these toys will help build stronger, more flexible brains than any electronic toy will. Computers are wonderful teaching tools for kids or 3 and older. You will want to introduce them to your son at the time when they will do the most good and not run the risk of him being bored and uninterested at 3 because he was frustrated at 2.

HOW TO RECOGNISE A GIFTED CHILD

It is important to recognise a gifted child in order to help promote its intelligence,curiosity and desire to learn.Most of these children are never reconised and so their potential is not developed correctly.A gifted child is not genius and does not have to know everything or do things out of the ordinary,such as play the pianoat the age of two or speak several languages at the age of three.They are children who are basically differentiated from others in their ability to learn much faster and go more deeply into subjects. Some characteristics of a gifted child are: * They tend to use very rich language and adultlike vocabulary * They easily understand and remember the information they are given. * They generate a great quantity of ideas and solutions to problems * They have a well-developed sense of humour * They have a great deal of curiosity,which makes them question everything * They usually worry about problems in the world * They adore reading * They like complicated board games * They are leaders * They persevere (they concentrate on a task and persist until they finish it) * They have a high level of self-judgement,demand much of themselves,and tend to dissatisfied *They prefer to work independently and do not need much help. *They are vulnerable to the rejection of their classmates

BELAJAR PERCAYAKAN DIRI SENDIRI

1)Anak-anak sejak kecil lagi harus dilatih utk menghadapi masalah hidup secara kenyataan tanpa melarikan diri dari tanggungjawab terhadap apa yg dilakukan mereka. 2)Anak-anak harus dilayan dengan demokrasi yg bersih dari sebarang tekanan,ugutan sama ada dirumah atau di sekolah. Menurut pengamatan helah menipu diri sendiri itu bnyk digunakan oleh anak-anak yg hidup dlm suasana rumahtangga dan sekolah yg menjalankan dasar kekerasan,paksaan dan tidak ada toleransi. 3)Anak-anak harus dilatih tidak melarikan diri dan memeriksa serta mengaku kesalahan diri sediri. 4)Anak-anak harus diberi layanan dengan berdasarkan hakikat bahawa mereka adalah manusia yg berbeza dari segi tubuh badan dan emosi mereka. 5)Tanamkan kepercayaan kepada anak-anak bahawa tidak ada manusia yg tidak pernah melakukan kesalahan dan kesilapan.Berdasrkan hakikat ini,seseorang yg melakukan kesilapan tidak perlu lg menipu diri sendiri atau melarikan diri dari tanggungjawab dgn meletakkan kesalahan keatas org lain. 6)Apabila anak-anak bnyk menggunakan cara menipu diri sendiri,maka seharusnya ibu bapa dan pendidik memeriksa dgn teliti motif-motif yg mendorong anak-anak melakukan tindakan tersebut. Memang tidak diragukan lagi bahawa kepercayaan kepada diri sendiri boleh menjauhkan seseorang itu bertindak menipu diri sendiri,lari dari tanggungjawab atau memesongkan apa yg sebenarnya berlaku pada mereka.juga boleh menjadikan mereka lebih berani dan lebih mampu utk menghadapi diri sendiri apabila berdepan dengan masalah-masalah hidup yg dipertanggungjawabkan ke atas mereka. Sebenarnya anak-anak yg mendapat kesempatan membuat kejayaan-kejayaan dlm hidup mereka sebenarnya dia dpt membentuk kepercayaan pada diri sendiri apabila mereka dewasa nanti.kepercayaan ini dpt diperkuatkan lagi dengan meletakkan anak-anak tersebut pada tempat yg sesuai dengan kemampuan,kebolehan dan kematangan agar mereka boleh mencapai kejayaan-kejayaan yg wajar.
