From about 2 years old, children start to learn to count. 

There are books that help children count with pictures of objects in the world and there are some songs that help children count as they sing.

Some of them start from 0 and go up to 5. Some of them go from 0 to 10. 

How about your child’s counting book at home?

I found a fun counting book. Counting books are normally boring, I think, but this one is fun.

Book “When I’m Bigger” by Maria Dek

Why do I say this one is fun?

Because this book starts from number 9 and goes up to 100. And it just stops at some random numbers to count. 

There’s another reason why I brought this book to introduce to you.

This book gives some growth-mindset-based ideas.

I’ll eat 34 cherries and plant the seeds to grow a cherry orchard.

Then I’ll have more cherries.

Mm-hm, yes, actually that’s the main thing.😉

In this week’s podcast episode, I also shared my thoughts about introducing random things to children. So if you want to hear about that and also hear about the book, play the episode now!

Happy learning and quality time!
