THE WAY I TEACH LITTLE EINSTEIN TO BE A FAST TALKER...my gifted child

Last weekend a friend of mine...my ex U mate....suddenly chat me via FB "Agnes I'm so worried my 15 months daughter haven't utter any exact words except for mommy & daddy....wonder why vish can speak more than 50 words at 14 months...what method do you use?"...in fact i have received a lot of similar questions from many parents...they are amaze becoz vish can speak very early..he also fast learner....he start saying meaningful words as early as 7 months or less DADDY, POOH, and few which i not really recall (need to refer my previous post)....
As a mother i really proud with Vish development and progress...at 14 months he can say his own name (VISH)..and pronounce daddy name (TANGAI) at 16 months....now he mastered 1-10 and A-Z (sometimes he miss one or two alphabet) to be frank i never taught him both numbers and alphabets formally... all this while i emphasize more on phonic particularly on YBCR and LR...for me just knowing ABC is nothing if they can't combine the alphabet to form the word....but it is a bonus he can read and sing the ABC song as well...what so special about him is he use to speak by combining both words from English and Iban.....example...."habis" then "no more"....."sit down" then "duduk"...."nice" then "nyamai" then "sedaap" etc...he is bilingual baby...now he start to learn Mandarin, Japan and French language with the aid of CD...not much but a least to catch up a bit..

Honestly i have spend so much for his education materials....from simple books to sophisticated electronic devices...just name it ..Leapfrog program, Little Reader & Little Math, Robin, Croco Pen etc.....he has all...completly...I just wonder why some parents prefer to buy electronic games as compare to educational program...well it individual preferance....

Back to topic, in fact we should start talking with our unborn fetus right after we found out that we are bearing a baby....that what i have been practiced... i talk a lot with Vish...added advantage I myself was a lecturer before...so the whole day he listening to me mumbling..scolding...screaming...talking...etc....now he really good in it..not only good but mastered...and I also have an adult talk with him...no baby language hence he can pronounce most of the easy words clearly...not all child are fast track..some of them might be slow while some might be advance but they grow uniquely...we shouldn't comparing with others..just accept who they are....do not push...

But I never force vish to "study"...I'll stop teaching him before he get bored...i want him to feel he need more knowledge..dig..dig..dig...i let him learn while he play..example learn counting while eating coco crunch..simple is it?...thanks God the method is work...I also brought him outside to explore the environment...see the green grass...touch the brown soil....listen to bird singing...etc...

1. TALK MOST TO YOUR BABY MOST OF THE TIME...start since he/she still inside ur womb...do not wait until his 1st birthday...
2. READ A LOT OF BOOKS ALOUD TO HIM/HER
3. TALK LIKE AN ADULT
4. ALWAYS RESPOND TO UR BABY WHEN THEY ARE TALKING EVEN U DON'T UNDERSTAND... just try to reply what he/she said...
5. REPEAT WORDS FREQUENTLY
6. DO NOT USE BABY LANGUAGE ....i have to admit i just love baby language...the cute slang is so sweet ..but it not good to practice as u will delay language development..
7. PRACTICE 1 FLASH CARD 1 SECOND 3 TIMES A DAY
