I attended something really useful for this course today. It’s Early Learning Workshop By Dr. Robert Titzer organised by Poppies.

I hope it would help in my course. Thanks to Poppies for inviting me though I’m not a parent. I’m still wondering why I go invited *LOL* maybe due to this course I’m going to start tomorrow?

I took this opportunity to join it anyway despite being “different” from the rest hahaha… Indirectly I started my class yesterday hehehe… I think this workshop is really helpful for my course. Being able to attend and see and hear from the expert will definitely be very useful. I took lots of notes! Might be useful for my future assignments

Dr. Robert Titzer sharing about ways to teach your babies from very very young age. Babies have the ability to learn lots of new things, you have to observe and be creative. Interaction with your baby is very important especially talking. It might look silly but it works very well and help stimulate his/her brain as they have tens of thousands of new synapses forming in their brain every second.

Learning the first 50 new words is the hardest but after that they will pick up new words very quickly. Therefore you must not give up. The starting will take a bit of hard work but eventually the result will be amazing!

I love the part where he mentioned that building a prison is cheaper than teaching your baby in the US. If babies or children are not nurtured and taught early, when they are older, going to school, they will create lots of disciplinary problems, have lower self esteems, fare badly in school and all the negative things you can think of.

One more thing, do not reward your toddlers with food but reward them with books! Actually you can reward them with food but only on some special situations, just don’t make it a habit.

Basically that’s about it. There’s lots of things that I learnt in this workshop, I just share some interesting and important points here. As in the future, there would be more as my class progresses.
