It's 5:00 a.m. and I've been awake all night listening to hurricane winds and rain pounding my window, so I decided to drop in on the Selfie blog. Apparently I'm way behind on L's education because her 18-month-old already knows "the whole English and Russian alphabet (both sounds and letter names) on her own by using [iPhone] apps."
I'm so ashamed.
Re: Read Selfie lately?
I find it all to be a crock.
Methinks someone is overcompensating because she knows she'd get jumped on for ignoring her child and letting her rot her brain
BTW - I deposed a doctor last week who said that children who seem to pick up the alphabet before 5 aren't actually learning anything. They end up being persons with great memories (which you don't learn until they're older). So basically, what Selfie is saying is that her daughter spends so much time on those apps, that she's able to remember what she's seeing. Like how kids memorize songs without actually understanding the meanings.
She's not kidding when she says you will get lost with that link! I went through it a couple weeks ago and it's like a train wreck that just keeps wrecking and you can't look away.
I've always thought everything Selfie posts has been a crock, but as her daughter gets older I start to wonder how much her mom's worries about perfection are going to affect her.
