Re: My children will not start school until 4 or 5 years old by Nobody:
You can homeschool them in the meantime so that they don't have to start from the scratch at that age you intend registering them.

Get them number and letter charts, color and basic shapes.

If you know sounds, begin to teach them. Eg. "ah" as in apple. Not A (ay) for apple o.

Then teach the primary colors. Take one color for max three days or more, depending on their pace. If they are fast learners and can identify within a short time, then introduce another color, or shape.

Make them recite the alphabet everyday. Then pick one or two letters and teach them to identify and write those letters repeatedly in an exercise book by you first writing out the first line and let them copy.

To introduce writing, give them color pencils now to start scribbling on a plain sheet. Then buy them coloring books with pictures. Give them to color. This exercises and firms their pixa grip (fingers) enabling them to grasp writing tools very easily.

Start with these steps first.

If you're are in Lagos put them in a public school,schools there are more better than some private school self...also try home lesson to boost their knowledge public schools in Lagos offer scholarships to pupils and later take them to expensive private schools... know of people who have benefited from it.

Their mother left me because I couldn't provide for them with my salary of 55k
Re: My children will not start school until 4 or 5 years old by Nobody:
goodamerican:
When did you want them to start? At 2?

They start around 5 in this part of the world.
They start around one here. I'm not joking.

When we resumed this term ( I'm a visiting teacher), I saw a baby in the KG class. I asked the teacher and she told me he's a year old. If he was not walking, I would have doubted he was one. He looked so cute.

He was just crying and going all over the place until I started singing to him. He then started following me. In fact, he was just following all the women. H
Guess he was missing mummy.

So, it's normal for the op to feel the way he's feeling because over here, it's like a competition with way parents enroll their babies in school. If yours is now 3 and above and not yet in school, he'll be the topic of the neighborhood.

Him papa no fit put am for school. Maybe him no get money and all sorts is what you'll hear.

Hmm... It is well.

Instead of leaving, why can't she get something doing to support? Or when she knew she was not ready to support, why open her legs?

Op no vex. I got carried away.

Is 4 or 5 years too late to start school? I am asking because my triplets will be 3 years next month I have no plan for all three to start school yet because I am not financially stable i can only afford for one which will not be fair on the other two. I will keep them at home until they are 4 or 5 years. I hope it will not affected them when they start school at 4 or 5 years also what is the best way to teach them at home any books reccomandation and prices please??
With this in view, ensure you home school them them . Pick out a regular time, no matter what and take them through the normal syllabus in your state.

Some children in outside countries were also trained this way. But please try to put them in school . It's not easy but God will see you through.

Amen

Davidave:
DO NOT bring children into the world if you know you cannot give them a decent life, a good education, if you know you will not have enough love and willingness to take care of them properly, a child should not come to this world to go hungry and suffering. Children should not come to the world to pay for their parents' misery. Be responsible and don't just think of yourself.

The least I can do is to beg on social media I am a hard working man with a low salary and I came here to seek for the advice about home schooling my children. I didn't come here to beg for any money. This is not my first thread go through all of them you can see for yourself that my aim has nothing to do with begging. I am not a handicapped I wake up every morning to go to work. Please stop thinking bad about me because I am not what you think I am.

Thanks I have checked the nearest school is far away from home, my mum has health issue she will not able to pick and drop them every single day due to the distance.

If I become a billionaire today, none of my kids will start school until they are 5 years old.

Must you copy your neighbours?

It's amazing how technology made learning easy for us. 3 year olds are not going to learn rocket science. Just go online and download many video lessons suitable for their age.

I reside in emene the cheapest school which I can afford at 3500 for nursery is far away for my mother. If I had the time I would have do the school run myself but I can't due to work. The one that's 7k is just around the corner she can do the school run but I can't afford for all three of them that's why I want to homeschooling them until things get better for me
