osuulola:this is f*cked up. He should also advise him not to send the boy to school na. He's schooling without showing any result and you're saying he should let it be? Have you forgotten that small drops of water makes the ocean or don't you know that learning is a stage by stage thing? Once you start failing it only takes the grace of God to succeed in the next stage. Oga you are right to be worried. Schooling is not for everybody but this basics one is for everyone. You don't know he's potentials yet, what if in the end, he's certificate is all he will have to depend on? Go and see his teacher and if you are not satisfied try and change he's school. Try teaching him and all that. I no follow all this oyibo advice of school is not for everyone or he's just a kid. There are many kids like him who could count and read the alphabet. Those are too basic. Either he's too playful or |

Complaining about a 3 years child who cannot read nor write as if he is preparing for Jamb is funny.the child is still too young and u can never conclude that he is a slow learner.help him at home with other activities like singing, clapping,jumping, dancing, rymes etc, at 80% and keep book work at 20%. In soo doing, he will discover and Enjoy himself in other domains and this will give him d zeal to explore reading and writing without stress.Let him Enjoy his age activities well before adding book please. |

I understand how it feels when you are getting less than your expectations. Note that the child is just a small child and they learn at their own pace. At age 3, their concentration span is just below 1 minute. That said, here is a material that i believe will go along way in helping your child. https:///3dPSd3u |

Makavelli25:Actually the recommended age for nursery one is 4 years. Even in US and Britain (where we copied our system of education from), children seldom start kindergarten at two. They start at 4. It is only extremely intelligent children that start kindergarten at two. And trust me, if your child is extremely intelligent to start kindergarten at two, you will know, you won't have to force it. One of the challenges with the current system of education in Nigeria is that it is not tailored for the average but for the extremely intelligent. The second challenge is that every parent believes their child is extremely intelligent. That is not just true. In an average class, you have about 10% extremely intelligent, 10% extremely challenged and the other 80% average. A while back I thought in my sister's school where I had a little bit of leverage. There I kind of reduced the subjects thought a day from 8 to 5 but explained longer. That term the children's performance was better than previous. In all, there are some things people will not understand until they are old enough. |

kenny1111:At age 3, you shouldn't expect a child to know all of the alphabets. Maybe, half of the alphabets or less than half. But not all. Beating up a 3 year old child because of education is dangerous o. Take it easy. Paces of learning differ from kid to kid. Don't go and kill your child over nothing. Moreover, you are funny o. You expect a better result from a 3 year old child? Better take it easy. Don't overtask his brain. Take it easy. I will suggest that your wife starts reading everything to him in her own voice. Or better still, sing everything to him. Don't use automated voices. Use real human voices, especially a voice that the child is very comfortable listening to. |

Oga E joor leave that child alone!!! In those days you wont be admitted into KG1 if you haven't clocked 3 years. *I don't mean 2yrs 11months 30days o* These our Private schools will keep over stressing this children so that you will keep your ward in their school. Imagine he can write numbers already?? Brilliant!! As for the mum, it is so wrong to be beating an infant at this stage because of ABC .... I pray as he grows older he won't hate education kenny1111: |

Please, tell your wife not to beat him again. It won't change anything, it will cause more damage to him. The best thing to do is visit his class teacher,proprietor and explain things to them. It happened to my daughter while she was in nursery class in her former school; her performance kept on dwindling. I visited her school on a fact finding mission and noticed that her class teacher and teaching methods were the problem. I had to go out in search of another school that had teachers who had gone through colleges of education and have experience in teaching methods. Mind you, my daughter was given oral and verbal tests to ascertain the main problem by her new school proprietor(an educationalist and psychologist). Immediately, she called me and explained what she discovered about her. She was referred back to pre-nursery class and things started to improve for her in the new school. Do your findings in his School and make your next move. |

kenny1111:From the experience you're narrating here, I am beginning to think that your people must be so intelligent that they can even write Junior WAEC at 7 years, for you to have such expectation from a 3 yr old! By the way, a child should begin Nursery 1 at 3 years, and you're expecting him to have learnt how to read and write. Take it easy. Some kids are slow learners, while some are quite precocious. |

I remember being deferred admission into primary one in a number primary schools because I could not read the Queens Premier/Brighter Grammar properly. Finally mom convinced the HM of one who admitted me on trial. I ended up topping the class till graduation. Was best graduating pupil. HM had wanted me to take entrance exams at primary 4 but my parents declined. Summary: Stop stressing the poor kid. If his social and communication skills are intact no worries at all. |

Leave the intelligent baby alone jor. As long as he does not have down syndrome, he has no issue or what so ever and you have nothing to worry about. Everyone has their own pace at learning, just tell your wife to completely stop flogging this innocent child, her beating is destroying the child's confidence. Zero flogging because infesting fear into him only make him scared and as a result he cannot think straight. Pet him and stop intimidating him, tell him good inspirational words, words that will lift his confident and make him happy. Tell him that he's so smart, he's so wise, he's so intelligence, he's amazing, he's so friendly, he surprises you with how fast he learn things. Give him the most special things for a baby you can find and afford, and expect nothing from him in return. He will make you prod when he grows up. Just keep believing in him. He's everything a genius could be, just stop abusing him with these trivia things and focus on teaching him through kindness. Make your wife no flog am again abeg. Just dey patient and give the small pikin time. Thank you. |

At 3 your child is still supposed to be playing and jumping around in school not for him to be reading and writing. All he should be learning now is nursery rhymes. Please allow the baby to get to 5 years before you start stressing your self. |
