We all want the best for our kids, but we know how boring education for little children can be at times. Holistic education is one of the best ways to prepare your little ones to meet the challenges of living and academics. As far as maths are concerned, holistic development plays a big role in that one area of math education is largely dependent on the other in order for the child to develop to their fullest capacity.
One way to ensure kids pay full attention to what is being said is to make use of a Educharacter who interacts with the children in making education fun. Making kids interested in learning can be achieved through things like getting them to rap their times table. One of the newer education programs for kids ‘Multiplication Hip-Hop for Kids’ works pretty well in that they get to say the times table through using hip-hop songs.
Both new parents and young parents can join in the fun as this is part of the modern fun filled education way of getting to learn maths like it was never done before. Besides learning shapes and colors where we are teaching kids shapes as well as help them learn about colors, childhood education is fast becoming edutainment like never seen before.
Designers of education programs are always on the lookout for fun ways on how to teach little kids and help them experience fun ways to learn. This is being accomplished with maths by using online programs like ‘DreamBox Learning’ where kids get to choose from about 500 plus math games while they get to explore an adventure park filled with pets, dinosaurs, pixies, and even pirates.
Education in formative years are crucial for the full mental development of your child. Many parents would like their children to become lawyers, doctors, or even accountants and find it to be a challenge on how to teach kids to grasp maths. With fun math programs that include rap music and wailing guitar solos it is so much easier to grab their attention and get them to see that education can be fun at the same time.
Children love getting rewarded which is something a new computer games involving the brain manages to achieve. Brainology is a game where two cartoon characters are faced with various brain challenges coming from a floating, talking brain orb. At certain levels of the game, the animation sequence would pause to allow your kids to get involved in experiments to help reinforce what they have learned so far. It is a four level program that rewards them with ‘Brain Master’ status at the end of the game.
Edutainment in its many forms proves to be a great education tool that help kids to experience fun ways to learn. Making education fun will help new and young parents to develop their little ones mathematically so they too can make informed decisions when needed most.
I’m lucky in that both me and my husband work in IT AND we’re both from musical families. So our child enjoys PC education games and music-related learning techniques. Great article. More parents should read it.
