Answer 1

A young two year old does not have to go to school to learn to talk, he learns by hearing others speak. i wouldn't recommend taking him to someone else to be taught so young. You can bond with your son by taking to him out to public places such as the park or even just talk to him on a normal basis.

Answer 2

Children learn through play. So if you want him to learn find a good play based center. Here he can grow emotionally, socialize, work on problem-solving skills, and gain thinking skills. I would however not worry about the academics now, he is too young. He will learn a lot more by playing in an enriched environment, where the staff helps the children learn by interacting with the children. I would avoid TV, until at least 2. And then, limit it to 1 hr per day. TV can be detrimental to children under age of 2. It can be overstimulating. So find a center that does not have TV. This is a red flag!

Answer 3

Are you a SAHM? If so then take advantage of the opportunity to be able to teach your son on your own. My son is 16 months old and is like a sponge, learning new words on a daily basis and new skills. There is no better teacher then a mother to her child. I myself am a SAHM and I couldn't be more prouder to be able to stay at home with him...I have a degree in Early Childhood Education so I get to use it all on him. Have a schedule for your son...read with him....teach him manners (my son is signing milk, more, please and thank you)..dance with him...teach him fingerplays ie itsy bitsy spider, if you are happy and you know it.....my son loves to help around the house, he helps vacuum, unload the dish washer, gets his socks out when asked, gets a bib for meals, puts toys away, help mix things up while I'm baking.....every single opportunity that you have with him take advantage of it and teach him things.

I honestly don't feel that my son would learn any more at a school then he does with me. He knows animal sounds; mama, dada, up, down, hi, bye, get it, all done, bath time, fish, bubbles, hot, more. The choice is yours to make but I think that you are already teaching him so much from his vocabulary that he has.

I have my son involved in a mommy and me fitness class..that's taught him to run, march, take big steps, put things back, throw a ball and interact with other little ones. We also have weekly playgroups that we meet with for the social skills to develop. There's plenty of learning to be done without necessarily sending them to school.

Answer 4

My daughter is already in school. they take them at 1 year where she goes. It is a learning academy daycare. I LOVE it....they have very casual lesson plans. they do a song, story, art project, and language "lesson" each day. They have plenty of free play time and my daughter really loves it. She started in the baby room, which she was not crazy about. But she has never once resisted going to school since she started in the Toddler 1 room. (she goes 2 days per week, all day) She is 19 months old now, so she gets moved into Toddler 2 sometimes when they need to combine. She loves both rooms.
She is extrememly intellegent. She knows her name, says she is "two", and can say close to 100 words. She can count past 10, she knows all her shapes, colors, many animals and about half of her letters. We work with her all the time when she is home too. she LOVES to read and learn. so her doc said keep going with her. she said don't stop teaching her because she is so willing to learn.

Answer 5

He may enjoy a program designed for 2's if the group is small, the sessions are short and most of the time is spent playing with interesting materials. Avoid a program that is simply a watered down preschool program, or one that expects 2's to participate in large group activities.

Answer 6

i'm no longer able to declare i'm a teenager yet i'm 25 years previous so i think like i'm nevertheless somewhat on the fringe of the teenage years. i think of you could desire to endure in innovations that besides the undeniable fact that she is coping with an exceedingly grownup situation she nevertheless is a toddler and your toddler at that. If she is living below your roof and not assisting than you have the wonderful to make her. do away with the psand computer. Set floor regulations. She needs to understand that her desires are no longer any further extensive form a million and her son's desires could desire to come back first. refer to her, clarify your frustrations and notice what she has to declare. If she wasn't waiting to be a mom then possibly she ought to have seen giving the infant up for adoption. She needs to attain that babies are no longer purely for seems and that they require extra time and interest than she seems to be giving him. Make her understand which you will do all you could to help yet you're there to do in basic terms that, help no longer improve the youngster. this is her activity and the alternative she made while she desperate to maintain her son. i be attentive to you have in all likelihood concept-approximately maximum of this if no longer all yet i'm hoping I fairly have helped slightly. stable success!

Answer 7

Most nursery schools start at 2 1/2...but usually will take 2 year olds as long as toileting isn't an issue (afterall you don't want your son's teacher to spend the whole time changing diapers). I know where I worked we had a 2 and 1/2 hour program that ran in the mornings and we would take 2 year olds. They could attend in diapers as long as parents understood that we wouldn't be changing them unless they hand a dirty bum (wet bums just stayed wet).

As for him learning more...it is a great age for learning...they just love exploring and learning about the world around them...it is also a great age to start to learn social skills such as taking turns and sharing.

Hope this helps with your decision.

Answer 8

i dont think at that age school is a good idea. But you could teach him to count to 5. say his ABC'S.

Answer 9

It's never too early to 'learn', our children are learning from birth, but all learning should be informal and play based. If you're considering sending your child to nursery, ensure they follow this philosophy!!
