Accept, Love, and Praise

Constantly comparing one's child to another child or stressing out due to higher expectation or even worse, setting up a high standard in one's child academic achievement is a big no no in Shichida method teaching. Shichida method is all about accepting, loving, and giving praise to your child. Yet not all parents understood the meaning these words convey. These are very simple words but not easy to do.

Child Rearing Shichida Way

As a mom, I came across a lot of different ways of child rearing. Some are good to know and some are very helpful. However, as a certified Shichida method instructor, I learned an invaluable lesson in child rearing that no other has shared before which is child rearing of the heart: accept, love and praise your own child.

School

Sasha loves his school. He likes his school so much that everyday when we picked him up from school he always wanted to stay back. After a month of joining the school, Sasha can sing to most of his school's circle time songs and know the dance movements associated with the songs. So far Sasha has memorized all of the phonic sounds, the class's routine and songs as well as the circle time songs and dance movements.

Award

Sasha was one of the recipients for student of the week award from his school. He was awarded as Mr. Obedient. I'm so proud of you Sasha.

Elephant

Sasha adores elephant and can look at elephant pictures for the longest time. His fascination actually started when we visited Thailand and rode on an elephant. Lately, Sasha has been asking us to take him to ride the elephant at Taman Safari in Cisarua which is 90 minutes away from Jakarta. Luckily there is a circus coming in town and one of the attractions is an elephant ride.

New Interest

Like other kids, Sasha's interest changes everyday. At the moment, Sasha likes to play with wooden blocks. The blocks come with 30 cards of building instructions and each card has stars of difficulties.

Time Flash Card

Here are a few examples of flash cards about time that I bought from Shichida school as well as from the bookstore. The flash cards are pretty similar to each other but I like to have a variety of flash cards on hand to avoid boredom.
