As a parents, have you ever wonder how to make teaching your children FUN? And I mean seriously fun!!! Or, do you know that we can incorporate the child learning with our everyday activities at home or our surroundings.

Part II of "Genius in 28 Steps" e-book consisting of four chapters (9 to 12) describing how to make learning fun and enjoyable especially for babies and toddlers. It also tells us what does it meant by informal learning. It also explaining on how kids will be more receptive to informal learning through play.

Chapter 11 in this Part II specifically discuss on the important of using a holistic approach in every aspect of our child's upbringing to his or her intellectual development.

Last chapter encourage and taught us to communicate often with our children. Communicate in a way that this e-book describe as constructive conversation.

Preface : Part 1 : You & Your Child

What makes me really love this e-book is it described the process of teaching by stages and part by part. It is divided into five major parts. Part 1 is about knowing you yourself (both mother and father) and your children.

After reading this part, now I am able to understand my kids more. For me, my eldest Kak Da is a little bit grumpy and sensitive person while my second one Adik is friendlier compared to her sister and easy going type. While Muhammad I am still in the process discovering his characters and personality.

In education point of view, Kak Da attention span is very good in the early morning, while Adik will be more active and attentive at night. So back to Part 1 of "Genius in 28 Steps" e-book (to buy this e-book you can log in to http://www.learnerade.com/) Chapter 1 will explain to you on how important it is for you to have a complete understanding of each of your child's personality. As this will help you to mould your teaching to suit them.

Chapter 2 and 3 describing how to develop a bonding or rapport with your kids and how important it is for you as their parents to continuously set a good examples to them In other words be their good role model.

Next, we as a parents should believe and never ever doubt our child's ability in learning. Patient is also a must when ever handling kids, especially if you have more than one. You could explore this in Chapter 4 and 5.

Last three chapters (6,7 & 8) explain to us that we should be consistent in the way we interacting with our children, preparation prior to any lesson or teaching session is crucial, as this ensure that we our self is in the right frame of mind as well as our children. Lastly in this Part 1 it reminds us not to accelerate the learning process but we must start early.

My First e-Book

I am a working mother to three kids. I am blessed with two daughter and a son. The eldest Nur Shahindah (better known as Kak Da) will be four years old this April. Her younger sister Nur Shahmina already three years (just celebrated her birthday on 2 Feb). She usually adressed herself as Adik, even to her youngest brother Muhammad who was now 10 months old.

I always loved to browse the internet try to find tips from raising kids, managing my kids health, information on child education, where to go to for a family holiday, what to cook for dinner, searching for new recipes to latest fashion tips for young moms (I will be 30 this coming July, considered young huh or at least still tenagers at heart).

Then I came across a website host by mother to Sufiah Yusof, Pn Halimahton. I am so interested in following Sufiah's story till I subscribe to Yusof Family Newsletter. Feb 18, Pn Halimahton email me to inform of her digital book titled Genius in 28 Steps.

After viewing the free sample chapter, I fall in love to this e-book and it became my first e-book I ever bought. Wait for my next post for review of the Genius in 28 Steps.
