I have tried teaching sign language to my first born but failed big time because she couldn't do much with fine motors. By the time she could master some skills, she has already started to communicate verbally. She's coming to 3 years old and could barely cope with alphabets. 1. When is the ideal time we can teach our baby sign language? 2. Is there a specific time frame how long each session should last? 3. How do we go about teaching it? I have a guide book and flash cards.

Babies can learn simple signs as young as 6 months but its safe to say that baby may not have the hand control to be able to sign back to you until she's older, about 8 or 9 months old maybe. As for duration of lessons, as the saying goes, practice makes perfect so whenever you can, you should practice with your child. It's just like any other language, the more you practise, the more fluent you get :)

How do you increase a child's concentration level? Will it decrease during a leap?

If you know what your baby is really interested in, it stimulates his or her natural concentration level; people concentrate when they are actually interested. When a baby is in the fussy phase, their interest level may be down for a while as they simply need their energy to get used to this whole new level op perception. When the fussy phase is over and he starts to be interested in developing new skills you would make yourself useful to help him develop these skills, and thus be able to understand what skills your baby wants to develop. If you hit the right button, concentration will come naturally. Yet… don’t forget: baby’s can’t concentrate as long as older kids!

I do not understand if it's a temper tantrum or she's just trying to push us to our limits. We've been trying to get her to acknowledge her elders by greeting them. She has no problem identifying who is who from pictures and calls out correctly. However when it comes to addressing them when they are physically in front of her, she clamps shut. She apologies to us, tears running down her eyes but she just refuses to call them unless I start to get annoyed and pissed by telling her if she doesn't start addressing them, she would be allowed to go home. We tried preparing her mentally before going out but it doesn't curb the stubborn mouth. We have no idea what is going on and how we can help her.

How old is your child? Maybe she's just shy or suffering from "stage fright" when it comes to addressing her elders in person. Honestly, don't be too hard on her. She's just going to associate you being annoyed and pissed to the situation and be even more apprehensive in the future. Maybe there's just too many people in the same place and this overwhelms your daughter? Give it time, she will get the hang of it soon enough.

Would you allow your preschooler to watch tv programmes? Would you allow selective shows and accompany the child to watch? Do you fix a time schedule or day?

Half an hour to max 45 mins. Yes we always monitor what she watches. Mostly cartoons, musicals (DVDs) etc

When should co-bathing stop? Is there a gender difference as in only daddy bathes boy and mummy bathes girl?

I did co bathing when situation needed only. Normally will let my lo bath on their own and I will supervise. In my opinion, no gender differentiation.

When would you start your child on sex education and who would be the one educating? Would you be using visual aids and what type?

VIP Member

Great question! I Guess at the age of 2-3? And we would start with body parts and which ones are private and what should she do if someone tried to touch her private areas.

Anyone knows whether can bring buckwheat husk pillows for children to use into aussie?

Been and back from the australian customs. We brought out the pillow and carried by hand. I declared the pillow as seeds/plant origins. Custom security checked and let us through.
