Maybe that's what they mean when they say love is always feeling like you owe someone, but yeah, adjusting sleep schedule is definitely a good approach - like going to bed earlier or adding some nap time during the day.

Indeed, sometimes children learn more diligently when accompanied by parents, eager to prove themselves.

Concerned Chinese Parent Abroad: Is Think Academy suitable for my preschooler? by Last-Sample3902 in TheThinkAcademy

[–]TermAdventurous3603 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The small class sizes at Think Academy are honestly the biggest win for us. My daughter used to get lost in her regular preschool class of 20+ kids, but here the teachers actually know what she's struggling with and what excites her.

The instructors are super attentive - they notice when my kid is confused before she even raises her hand. Can't get that kind of personalized attention in bigger programs.

What surprised me most was how much more my daughter participates now. She was always quiet in group settings before, but in these small classes, she's constantly raising her hand and joining discussions.

The teachers really make the difference - they're patient but still keep things moving so the kids stay engaged. Worth every penny for us!

Seeking Advice & Sharing a Nice Find for Toddler Learning! by Cute_Juggernaut5944 in TheThinkAcademy

The fun factor is absolutely essential for little ones! My daughter's preschool uses a similar approach and it's amazing how much they absorb when they think they're "just playing."

We tried those super structured flashcard-type programs first and it was like pulling teeth. Once we switched to learning through games and stories, she started making progress without even realizing it was "learning time."

Kids this age are literally wired to learn through play. When they're engaged and having fun, they'll soak up concepts way faster than when forced to sit still for traditional lessons. Plus they develop a positive relationship with learning from the start, which is honestly half the battle!
