2-year-old kids always want to do things
well, most at the stage from 2-2.5 years old, and more at the age of 3.5.
Catching up timely and promoting this will is the secret to teach them to
become talents.
Washing their hands, tying his shoestrings,
buttoning… Let them do these things on their own though it can take long time.
Spend more time to teach them to do now to have great time later.
From 2 years old, let them join housework.
Clean the table or take this, store that…, find many things in their power to
let them do. Praise them a lot after they have done the work. The more
important thing is to bolster their confidence.

Even though they have not done well, praise
them. So they will have confidence to do better next time. Redoing, correcting their
faults in front of them is the worst way of teaching. Absolutely not disparage them
anything. Bad mothers usually treat their children like that: overwhelm his
resistance, put down his will of doing things himself with such sentences
“anyone can do that” or “nobody wants to do that stupid thing”.
When kids are 2 years old, teach them to
order things neatly. Put the shelf in his reach. Put toys at place easy to
take. Have rules of where to put their toys. Stick blue, red, yellow sticking
plaster at toy store. And stick familiar colors on toys to store them as their
colors. If you do that, 2-year-old kids can also know to store their toys after
playing. Storing toys is not mother’s work. Start it with order-game. “Store
this ball to the shelf, and take the doll on the table for me”. So, they will
get accustomed to putting their toys in order.
At this stage, you have to teach them to
use their hands well. Not fluent-hand kids tend to develop ability slowly.

Let them play with clay. Do not just give them
the clay box, and let them play anything. You have to give them the samples of
apple, strawberry, banana… show them and then guide them to knead clap into
shapes as samples… The importance is it has to look like samples. It teaches them
to observe in detail and control their hands cleverly.
How to overcome the first resistant stage of 2-year-old kids?
People say “2-year-old kids are fearful”.
This phenomenon appears at 2-year-old baby, and lasts about 4-6 months. It is
called the first resistant stage of kid.
2 years old, entering to independent stage,
children want to separate from their parent, and do things themselves. They
want to do everything. So when adults say “no”, they resist immediately. When
they want to do something themselves but not allowed, they get angry. Sometimes
they stamp their feet, jump up, roll on the floor as a protest. That is
dissatisfied sign when they want to do something but not.
When your children cries, put yourself into
their shoes, and teach them to express his mind. If you just yell at their “why
are you crying”, it will be difficult to pass this stage. If their want or feel
something and can express all by words, daily life will be so smooth.

2-year-old kids have genius’s memory
Kids develop rapidly in the stage of 2-3
years old. And what they learned in this stage reflects their studying attitude
later, and it cannot be changed.
This stage, if you teach your children the
basic things smoothly, they will be very brilliant. If not teaching and just letting
them play will lose his preeminent ability without your knowing.
2-year-old kids have the memory of genius.
If you cultivate their mind well at the age of 2, their memory will maintain
easily and constantly. Kids who are not cultivated their mind now will not
remember mathematical formula at 6th grade.
So at the age of 2, you need to cultivate their
memory as much as possible. Such as the national flag of many countries, the
kinds of car, the name of subway station in order… They are useful and not
beyond their ability.
2-year-old
kids have genius’s memory
Put 10 boxes in front of them and put
something in 3 boxes. Let them guess which one has thing. No 2-year-old kids
can guess right all of 3 boxes from the start. Try 1 box first.
Relating to memory, you have to teach your
children the ability of observing, such as “What does previous shop sell?” to
train the ability of remembering many things in the shop. Take a competition to
see whether mothers or children can remember more.
The thought “Just 2 years old, they cannot
remember much, wait until 6 to let them study” is wrong, and loses their
inherent ability.
Every experience on over 6-year-old kids,
when their ability has developed stably, does not make any basic important
ability. Parent should know that experiences which do at the highest ability of
awareness (2 years old) will be their great ability later.
