I have decided to set up a whole series on this because I am reaally passionate about this topic. I have met too many parents who are incessantly worried that their children will "lag behind" because they are not being sent to a childcare at 6 months old (which I honestly think is way too young to start "school" if we compare to our overseas peers).
Also, I wanted to assure other parents as long as we put in "thoughtful playtime", our kids will end up acquiring skills that will aid them in their development as well. Our Little One is about 15 months when we were using this set of curriculum and when we visited the PD, he was described as "advanced" so hope this helps!
9am - Wake Up!
9am to 10am - Preparing of breakfast. He either watches us prepare the oats and join in the simple pouring/ stirring activities. At 20 months, we introduced him to the peeling of hard boiled eggs.
10am to 11am - Morning Stroll at the garden. Usually we take the time to point out to him some creatures and also visit a few shops as we do our grocery run. He would also stop by the laundry shop to watch the machine drum spin (one of his fav. activitiy).
11am to 12noon - Indoor Activities. Watering of plants and feeding of pet fishes/ Helping with simple housework i.e. vacuuming the floor, hanging of the clothes
12noon to 1pm - Lunch Time. He can't really sit still so this is also TV time for him.
1pm to 2pm - Bath Time/ Water Play. He either play with bubbles, a bath cloth or bath toys!
2pm to 5pm - Naptime!
5pm to 7pm - Playtime with cousins. His cousins actually live upstairs, so it helps with his social skills. Sometime they will all go to the playground together.
7pm to 8pm - Dinner. Similarly, this is also TV time.
8pm to 9pm - Bath time/ Random activities with Mummy and Daddy (it can include chasing us around the house, colouring or setting up the bubble machine at the corridor)
9pm onwards: Story, Song and Bedtime
