In year 2008, Dr. Titzer was in Singapore to give a workshop on "Your Baby Can Read". This created an exciting buzz for 40 "kiasu" Singaporean parents and parents-to-be.
Dr. Titzer highlighted the importance of stimulating infants and shared tips on how parents can teach their babies language skills using multi-sensory activities. Dr Titzer shared that: "There is only one natural windows of opportunity for babies to learn languages; spoken language, written language, sign language and second languages naturally and easily from infancy, from about birth to age four. After that age, it will become increasingly difficult to learn at hight level."
Most of us know that the best learning time frame for kids is up-to the age of four, hence parents are squeezing the kids with all kinds of activities and programme. Is this healthy for the kids? I think that the reasons those parents attended the workshop, not only like to see the miracles that the kids can read at a young age, but rather to learn from the expert as to how to do it in the correct way, unlocking the kids potential, without stressing the kids.
