Baby Steps towards Learning

Anush has been averse to attending any class outside of school. She usually wants me to sit in or do the teaching myself. The only exception has been one activity course at Vanilla Place and the occasional yoga with her paati, I guess.

Swimming and singing both masters were bid a prompt adieu. Dance happens only with me and I hardly know much.

A couple of days back she expressed a keen wish to join the neighbour's kids at Abacus. While I have no opinion about Abacus I am very excited that Anush is willing to try some new class finally. All the best baby! Hope you enjoy it and feel more confident about such experiences.

Anush looks good, the classical dancer look is different and nice :)

Having read this, I get the feeling P might be averse to joining any classes too, when he gets to that stage

Good luck with the abacus classes

ansh and P are young still- i recall someone telling me 5-6 yrs is the time to start classes of any sort...i am beginning to think they may be right...

wow... Anush really shld try some dancing...she looks so ready for it!! All the best to the lil darling.. for being more venturesome, that is.

Art, would you like to help with the Esha summer project of recording some stories, or otherwise free material. We are creating an audio library for the blind.. more abt it on the Esha blog - www.eshabraille.wordpress.com .. i really thot shld ask.. if Anush can read a little.. it will help her kill time and will help the other blind kids also..

Here in the US, when I asked around for Na to join music classes, all teachers said that it is better that I start this when she is around 6. So I guess universally, that is the accepted age for kids to start on anything new :)

Anush looks very cute in the traditional garb!
