my 6 year old daughter shocked me today, i asked her how she was able to remember so many facts, i had picked her up from riding, and the instructor had asked her to let the others have a try, then shewas allowed to answer.
She told me that the names of a particular brush was the same letter as one of the horses, i told her she was remembering things by association, i explained this to her, her answer was thats just what i did.
She is not top of the class, nicely in the middle,she never wanted to learn letters, numbers before school, she has always been very head strong, and determined,but she has suddenly just started to fly, speaking to teacher she was amazed how suddenly the speed of her learning has progressed.
She has done this with anything physicsl, she is one of those children that could just ride a bike, she toilet trained herself at 16 months etc.but not academic,
My question is should i just go with the flow?
I have never pushed her, you never could
