Participantpcnow… It sounds like the terms are basically converting the loan to a rental agreement… You have a lease that is good for 25 years, and then you have to find a new place to leave.

Participant[quote=flu][quote=UCGal]One more suggestion… if you haven’t already picked up the Leapfrog videos – my kids loved these and didn’t mind the educational content.
“Math Circus”, “Letter Factory” etc…Annoying to parents, but the kids liked them, and it helped with a lot of the concepts.[/quote]
I have one as a gift. But I think she ripped out the pages from it…Judging by her demeanor, I think she likes to be more hands on versus book worm… (She likes playing with tools, taking stuff apart and putting things back together…Unfortunately , I have a feel she takes more after me….(So sorry about that 🙁 )
[/quote]The leappad books and leapster games are different than the DVDs I recommended. Same company, but different format. These are entertaining kid videos that happen to have some educational content. My dentist recommended them to us, back in the day. (His daughters are a year older than my eldest.)

ParticipantWe weren’t formerly teaching math – but we were doing counting – and getting the 1-1 correlation between the number word “three” and three items around age 3… Both boys could do simple adding by age 4 (single digit addition). And both boys picked up simple subtraction before 5… which was ahead of their peers… We didn’t formally teach it – just did goofy games around the dinner table… (You have 5 green beans… You ate two – how many left.).
Both hubby and I are math nerds though, we enjoy math, puzzles, etc. – the boys are showing signs of having the same math ability and love of nerdly stuff.. They even started doing sudoku in kindergarten.
That said – different kids have different aptitudes… some of their classmates were reading at a much higher level, but not as strong at math… I imagine they’ll all even out at some point.
I know some of the signs they look for in “kindergarten readiness” is being able to count to 20, and having that one-to-one correlation between the number word and the # of items. (My sis the teacher made sure the boys were ready.)
