I think there is a way to make children interested to learn English. we can use their imagination. for example we can ask them to tell story about their favorite cartoon or else. however, we as teacher must help them to speak well and understand what is real and imagination. i had been use this to my cousin. it is very effective. now, he can speak english quite well.

imagination is one of effective ways that we can use to teach children English. When i was a kid, my family used this way to teach me. that way is very effective and i can learn English more comfortable and better. When my aunt used this way, she asked me to imagine my favorite cartoon and drew it in a paper. I could understand it fast and learned English more comfortable.

some ways to teach speaking

 speaking is important to children in English. however, before we teach them we must know some things. first, we must make feel good and interested to learn English. that is the most important thing because it is very influence learner interest. my family used this thing when they taught me English. next thing is that teach them the easiest thing first. it can make children comfortable. then ask them to practice it or pronounce it. i think this is a simple way to teach english to children

next, we can teach them English with watching English movie or cartoon. You may ask them to watch their favorite cartoon and ask them to speak what the characters of the cartoon speak. Next, ask them retell what they have watched. I usually use this technique to my nephew and my little cousin to teach them English. Before that, I always use this technique to increase my speaking skill. This technique can help us to increase our knowledge of vocabulary and our speaking skill.

why children must learn English

children must learn or be taught about English as soon as possible. English is an international language now. if we teach them earlier, they can understand English enough and may be they can use English little by little. this was happened to me. my grandfather, aunt, and uncle taught me English when i was 3 years old. first they taught me some words then they asked me to practice it. after that, when i was in kindergarten they gave me story book and taught me how to pronounced it. i was so happy in that time. now, i can understand English quite well and i'm so grateful to them. maybe you can teach English with this way to children in your family or school

next, children must learn English as soon as possible is that English is beautiful language. English has beautiful sound and pattern. i have learn English since i was 3 years old but i learned it not too well. i realize that English is beautiful when i study in college. English has beautiful sound and sound so good if we speak it well and with good pronunciation.

Here I am ^^



It takes confidence to be a kid. For instance, going to a new school for the first time, kids face a lot of uncharted territory. Self-confidence rises out of a sense of competence. In other words, kids develop confidence not because parents tell them they're great, but because of their achievements, big and small. Sure, it's good to hear encouraging words from mom and dad. But words of praise mean more when they refer to a child's specific efforts or new abilities.

It's Time for Potty Training

Children signal their readiness for toilet training in various ways. They show signs of discomfort and alert their parents when their diapers are soiled. They stay dry for extended periods, including nap time, and show interest in the toilet. It's an opportune time to start the potty training process, and various tools can make it easier. Although there are ways for you to monitor this readiness, it would be unwise to attempt to proceed with toilet training before you see signs that your child has a chance of succeeding.

School Readiness

The education system sets an age when your child should start school. Age is usually the first consideration for parents when making a decision about when their child will start school. You may have some concerns about whether your child is ready to start school even if they are the “right” age.

Helping Your Child Learn to Talk

Learning to talk is a process that starts at birth, when your baby experiences how voices can sound.  By two years, most babies have a large vocabulary and can put words together to express their needs and ideas.   

      Between two and three years, your child’s language skills will grow by leaps and bounds.  He will string more words together to create simple sentences, such as “Mommy go bye-bye.”
