Questions Mothers Ask About Beginning a Good Intellectual Program
  


Q: I know I need to be organized to do a good program and enjoy doing it, but how do I become more organized?
As you well know, there is no simple answer to the question of program organization. Each mother, child, and family differs–as do their goals, interests, and objectives–and all of these factors are constantly shifting and changing. The time available for teaching often varies, as do many other factors. There is no one solution that would apply neatly to everyone. Instead, each family must carefully evaluate its own situation and make the best possible plan. Here are some suggestions:
1. Take time to plan and organize your program at least once a week. Look at how far you've come as well as where you are headed. Decide on one major objective for each child each week and several minor objectives. Make a plan for that week and organize your records and materials for the week ahead.
2. Always prepare your materials well in advance. If you do get behind, stop your program and take the time to go out and get more materials so that you are not tempted to use materials over and over again when they should have been retired.
3. Do a few things well rather than many things sporadically. Your children will benefit much more from abilities that they have solidly established and are able to use than from a brief introduction to a wide variety of subjects.
4. Be flexible. Be willing to change your plans quickly and to do something else that is stimulating and fun if what you planned simply does not work out.
5. Plan time each day for your child to learn how to help you take care of the house and prepare meals. (One day he or she will be able to take over.)
6. Stay at home as much as possible. If there are a number of things that need to be done outside the home, whenever possible do them on the same day and do them at the end of the day, not in the morning.
7. Take the phone off the hook or put on the answering machine when teaching your children.
Q: My husband, three-year-old son, and I are expecting a baby in a few months. What suggestions do you have about organizing the program around our new arrival?
First of all, take care of yourself! Mom's health and well-being are the foundations of a good program and should be the top priority. It is certainly reasonable for mothers to slow down some and even put their usual program away during the last weeks of pregnancy and the first weeks of the newborn's arrival.
An older brother or sister can be very helpful in the weeks immediately preceding and following the birth of the baby. Siblings can help mom with household routines and assist with the new baby's stimulation program. Families that join their baby on the floor can also encourage the newborn to crawl.
As you and your baby begin to have a more routine day and night, you will once again have more time to spend with your older child. Plan, prepare, and organize to return to one subject at a time. While before you may have been teaching many parts of the program simultaneously, it's best to begin again, one area at a time. In this way, you can begin to blend your old daily routine into your new and different one.
By choosing just one aspect of your child's intellectual or physical program to work on, you can be at your best and most relaxed. Gradually you can add other programs at a pace that is ideal for you, considering the fact that you are now a two-children family.
Having two children is certainly different than having just one, and it takes new organization of time and direction. Keep yourself in top form–both of your children will appreciate it.
Q: I have a four-year-old and a two-year-old. Should I plan to teach them separately or at the same time?
When teaching two children who are close in age, there are several approaches you can try in order to find the one that works best for you. Also, you will need to re-evaluate your approach from time to time, as your children grow older.
One approach is to teach different categories for your individual children according to their special interests. This insures that each child will receive information on what he likes best. In the end, each child will see and hear the information being taught to a sibling, and all children in the family will actually benefit from each other's program.
Most families find that even when they start with two different programs, within a year or so all the children are happily participating in each other's programs.
Another approach is to spend some extra time and attention on your older child. The older the child is, the more likely it is that he will have preferences, pronounced likes and dislikes, and will let them be known. In addition, your older child will be learning at a slower rate than your younger one. He will therefore need a bit more attention, while your younger child will be absorbing absolutely everything without the slightest effort.
There are many advantages of having more than one child in the family. The younger child can benefit by observing his older sibling, who becomes yet another teacher in addition to mother and father. Teaching is a wonderful way to learn, so the older child will also benefit from this arrangement. It's great fun for a child to be able to read a book to his younger brother or sister, or to play a new piece on the violin.
The difference in their ages will be significant in motor activities, yet two children can work together happily once you carefully structure the different levels of achievement expected. So, while your oldest swims the length of the pool, your youngest can tackle the width. Each can succeed at his or her own rate.
Sometimes one child may cause a disturbance while you are teaching the other. Most families establish the rule that a child may choose to watch or not during a teaching session, but no one is permitted to distract or disrupt in any way.
Q: I want to do everything and I want to get started as soon as possible, but I don't want to bite off more than I can chew. How can I be sure that I am using my time in the best possible way?
When you begin your program it is best to choose one important area, like reading, and put your attention on that single area until you are organized, prepared, and teaching your child to read without any problems. It is much better to do one program very well rather than to do several programs inconsistently.
Sometimes mothers who do not have the advantage of being with their children all day long try to accomplish a full program by shoe horning too many things into a few hours a day. This simply can not be done and should not be attempted. It is not possible to have a relaxed, happy, and joyous program without being able to choose the good moments to teach and rejecting the bad moments. When time is limited, it is vital to choose one area and do that one well rather than trying to put too much teaching into too short a period of time.
Make a sensible schedule based on a realistic evaluation of the time that you will really have each day.
Q: Is one time in the day better than another time?
Yes. If possible, arrange your schedule so that you can do the majority of your intellectual program in the morning. This is the ideal teaching time; your baby is rested and so are you.
Q: What are the physiological factors that I should be careful about?
Make certain that your child is getting enough sleep and get enough sleep yourself. Whenever possible, if your child is taking a nap you should take one too. Keep your child's fluids balanced. Most children take in three or four times the amount of liquid that they really need. Often this is caused by too much salt and sugar in the diet. Limiting salt and sugar intake will decrease your child's desire for liquids.
Q: How do I know how fast to go and what my child likes?
It is very important to carefully observe your child's responses every time you teach him something. You will learn very quickly which categories he likes best, and how to observe if he is getting a bit bored because you have shown certain materials for too long.
By watching his attention and interest, your child will show you what he most enjoys and how fast he likes to go. All of this will be written in the expression on his face as you teach him. However, you must be watching his face as you teach him in order to observe these indications. Your careful observations will help you make tomorrow's teaching sessions even better.
