O-T Parenting Advice

Looking for good advice on teaching my son beyond the basics early on. He is 3 the greatest kid anyone can ask for! He's always outside and loves sports.
Just looking for advice or techniques that you or your family did with your children to challenge them and strengthen their mental ability. Right now we read to him, do flash cards with colors, shapes and objects. He has a hard time remembering numbers by sight and writing. I've tried to do dashes and have him follow the lines and will be picking up a writing book for him soon. I guess I'm just frustrated and want the best for him and have always expected more out of him. I hope I'm not wrong or behind. Again any advice would be awesome!

How to spell would be a good start.

If you're going to teach him anything about spelling or grammar I'd suggest hiring a tutor. In fact if you're going to teach him anything yourself just stop.

Probably not a good place to get advice.
On anything.
Ever.

At 3, his fine motor skills may not be strong enough to really write legibly. It takes a lot of finger strength to get those darned letters in the right shape. Really, let him play age appropriate hands-on things like blocks and Play-doh; while you might not think of these things as "educational", they help build the skills to do other things.
A lot of preschool/Kindergarten/1st grade teachers use dry erase markers and boards because they slide easier and make it easier for kids to write.

As for teaching numbers & letters, the apple App Store is great. Look for one called Endless Reader & another called Endless Numbers. Mine just turned 2 & can navigate an iPad like an adult.

Writing? A three year old?
You might be trying too hard

My advice? Chill the frick out.
Get him to meet other kids. My son is the same age, and he can draw people, count to 29, knows all his letters and numbers by site, colors, shapes. All that bs, but getting him to interact with other children has been the best thing for him so far.
And make it more fun than flash cards. Come on, that sounds miserable.

Dorothy is correct
Expecting a three year old to write is ridiculous
When they take the test to get into pre-k, they ask shite like body parts and colors
Unless your kid is a myers-Briggs genius, you really need to chill out

He's three and you already sound like a nightmare of a parent. God help him if he ever brings home a "B" when he's older.
Posted on 6/26/14 at 8:19 pm to momentoftruth87
He's 3. What the frick do you "expect more out of him"?
Jesus, let the little kid be a little kid.

Expose him to everything.
children's museum, zoo, farmer's market
play sports-buy him a ball & bat
listen to classical music - buy him an instrument
show him art - make art with him
Grocery store - teach him foods/veggies/fruit & have them taste them
When he gets a litter older, TRAVEL with him. When he's learning American History in 7th grade & he's already been to DC or Pennsylvania he'll have a head start.
READ magazine articles to him about interesting animals or places or technology. Hang out at the book store and let him explore and see where he ends up (most have a children's section that you can be a little noisy in)
Bring him out into the world. Taste different food - have him help cook in the kitchen. Make everything a learning experience. Have him "pay" for items so he learns currency.
Bring him to a public park so he learns what other children look like that are different than him (different races, dress differently than him, sound different than you)
Yea and you need to discipline him. Tell your wife to get over it. All of the above is pointless if he ends up in jail...

Your kid isn't special.
Posted on 6/26/14 at 8:21 pm to momentoftruth87
Let him be a kid.. No reason to challenge a child that age, it will frustrate the both of you at that age.. Studies repeatedly show that playing and the interaction that follows is best from them.

Maybe your kid is dumb like his daddy

Burn him with a lit cig whenever he doesnt meet your expectations.
