First 100 Words: Little One's Essentials

So your little one is going to learn her first words. Oh boy, you really want to be careful on what you're saying around her. Believe me, children are like super-sponges. They pick up and imitate everything around them.

Teaching her new words isn't easy. You need to make sure she understands what the words associates with. You don't want her to call Granny a cat, do you? That's why you need objects, or at least pictures to point at while saying the words.

Enter the #1 best-selling book in Children's Basic Concepts Book on Amazon: First 100 Words board book. 26 colour pages of 100 object photographs to read along your little one. It was written by Roger Priddy, writer of over 200 children books that sold over 65 million times worldwide. He is ranked #51 in Amazon top authors rank.

I like the little touches they add to the book. It is a board book, i.e. every page is a stiff board easily propped up to read. And the cover is softly padded, so it can be easily held by children.

Other than teaching your child to recognise the objects, you can also use the pictures to talk a about the objects. For example, you can ask your child how the dog sounds like. Or if you want to be more imaginative, make up your own story with those pictures!

So check the book on Amazon, and stay tuned for more reviews!

Disney Classics: Can't Go Wrong

If you've been thinking to buy a gift for your children, I have a suggestion for you: Buy them books! You cannot go wrong with introducing them early to the best form of storytelling.

I have been brought up with storybooks myself. My parents bought me countless books and patiently read them to me everyday. Eventually I learned to read, and I couldn't stop ever since.

How did that work out for me? I was the only child that can read fluently in my kindergarten! I went on having amazing imagination and cognitive skills that helped me through school.

So on to my next suggestion. We are blessed to grew up with Disney Classics such as Mickey Mouse, Pinocchio, Peter Pan, Cinderella, etc. Now it's our turn to introduce our children to them.
