I am mother of a 2 Year and 9 Month Old Daughter... She is nearing her third birthday.
Her name is Yashvi and she is very active and energetic. I call her Duracell - you know the never say die batteries. I feel like I am one of the other rabbits in its ad, which gets exhausted easily.. and she goes on and on.
She loves to play all sorts of games with me. We have started playing Chess recently. Chess is anything but a game for a 3 year old. But we still enjoy playing it.
These are the rules that we actually follow :
1. One Gets all Black Pieces and another one gets all white ones.
2. Black ones "Out" the white one and vise versa. (Killing something we dont like)
3. Play turn by turn. One Piece moves in one turn
4. After you out a piece, your piece has to take its place
And yes, only single piece per square.
Seems pretty primitive rules. But still are very complex for my little daughter. She still somehow manages to follow all these rules for atleast five mintues a day.
Just sharing this cause, sometimes we underestimate the kids and their capabilities. And recently I learned that the capabilities in a child can be increased just by trusting him / her. If you can trust that he/she can do something, she will be able to do it. Just show her your trust. Motivate Her.
Tell me how you motivate your child.
