Early Childhood Education Seminar

Yess all mommies out there. I'm sharing with you something from the seminar I went last Saturday (30th October 2010). Yeap! I've been waiting for the seminar for so long. Excited ok! 

It all started when my SIL had a baby. Serious weiy! Celik je mata budak tu dah kena belajar. I mean the baby being feed with educational video (tak kisah lah kau nak, mak tayang je, kau tengok ye). I pity the baby at that time. Budak tu baru je nak kenal dunia, engkau dah suruh dia belajar? Kesiaaaaaannnnn (macam dalam cite P.Ramlee tu). This is where you are WRONG!

Ok lepas tengok kan budak tu as if teruk kena dera kena belajar (of course lah I didnt tell my SIL, anak dia tau lah apa yang dia buat yang haku sibuk nak interfere dah kenapa?), I had this thought..kalau lah budak tu kecik lagi dah suruh belajar, owh sangat challenging dunia sekarang ni, I wouldnt want my baby to be missed out from semua tu. Harus lah aku pun start awal macam my SIL. Sian kau nak, tapi it's for your own good. Dengan harapan dan doa moga-moga my baby tak jadi macam kes budak pintar sofea tu yang masuk Harvard and end up as a pros. Nauzubillah! That kid ada bad past tapi still, perumpamaan nya, tak mau lah jadi cenggitu.

Back to the point, and so I did some google-ing on Early Childhood Education (ECE) nih. Turns out kat oversea tu dah banyak dah kesedaran on it. Even dah banyak research, dah banyak books (eh how, banyak, books lagi, kan S tu dah menandakan plural..ah abaikan)dah banyak medium pembelajaran untuk si kecil tu starting dari dia baru lahir lagi. Kita kat Malaysia ni je kurang dapat pendedahan. NO sebenarnya kita ORANG-ORANG MELAYU ni je yang masih berada di takuk yang lama. Sape yang ada kesedaran tu sila kecualikan diri anda ya. That leads me to more google-ing, at this point I was already panic! Mana tak nya..

"Pendidikan Seharusnya bermula sembilan bulan sebelum kelahiran" - Maria montessori, Pengasas Kaedah Pembelajaran Montessori.

Ok, lagi menguatkan perasaan panic ku, I'm 7 month late dalam educating my baby. I trust this quote sebab dulu masa tadika I was in the kindergarden yang menggunakan this method. Hey, it works ok. Though takde lah bright sangat dulu but I believe it works

That leads me to the seminar. I was hunger for information. I need answers. I want to know how. Thanks to Kak Watie - Pengasas Genius Baby On Board yang tak kedekut ilmu langsung! She even bagi consultation on good education material untuk baby dan yang paling penting mengikut money wise. Al maklumlah taraf kehidupan miskin bandar ni memaksa kami berkira on every Ringgit and Cents spend. The seminar? It worth every cent my dear! Terbuka lah sikit mata ni, dapat lah sikit gambaran. 

Apa yang penting yang I pick from the seminar, never underestimate your baby. NEVER! Baby tu kalau dia lahir je dah boleh bercakap, they'll say, mommy, please lah feed me dengan knowledge. Yes mommy dearie semua, otak baby mengandungi sel-sel yang terbentuk dari setiap apa yang baru mereka pelajari, and from time to time, they will need to link the brain cell because the cell will die if tidak di gunakan. Bayangkan betapa ruginya kalau tak digunakan. Dah tentu lah kalau ikut logik, the more the better kan?

And before I forgot, the longer time you take to start educating your baby, the harder it will get. Bak kata pepatah melayu, Kalau melentur buluh, biar dari rebungnya. Your baby is now the rebung ok. Sila start sekarang!!

More on the seminar will share with you next entry. As for now, baby ku dah lapar. Nak pergi makan dulu ya.

Enjoy some of the pictures.
