FRANCIS and his tracing skills
Kiko is now 3 years, 3 months and 1 week old today.
He can now easily trace his first name
FRANCIS
and his hand can
draw straight vertical lines
as legibly as he can.
This source says:
"All children start writing by scribbling, an activity most
toddlers enjoy. To do it, they must use coordination to hold the crayon, keep
the paper still, and apply enough pressure to make a mark on the paper.
As time goes on, with lots of practice, they'll start to
realize that not only can they make marks to create a pattern, but by repeating
the same movements, they can make the pattern again.
Eventually, with practice and formal schooling, kids learn
what are called the conventions of print like writing from left to right, the
difference between uppercase and lowercase letters, how to put spaces between
words, and how to use correct spelling in most instances."
He can trace shapes
like circle, triangle, square
and
rectangle.
Maybe next time
he can write his name in full
FRANCIS DAN RIEL D BERMUDEZ
such a long one
but I know
he will.
Yet another milestone! Congratulations mommy for teaching Kiko well, great job, little boy!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to see him improve his writings through tracing. Sometimes, he doesn't feel like doing his homework and I just have to wait until his ready. It's not proper to force a child his age to accomplish anything yet. He still loves to play and learn at the same time.
DeleteKids will be kids, so let us allow them to learn by their own phase...All work (or learning) and no play makes jack a dull boy.. ^_^ Let him enjoy childhood well sis and really amazing for his age, keep it up!
DeleteHow cute is that! I wonder when Kiko will see this post after 10 years, he might say, "that's one of my first milestones of my life." Cheers! =)
ReplyDeleteGood job Kiko! Good luck when you start writing your name.
ReplyDeleteIt's really a proud moment for any parent as their kids start reaching some milestones.
DeleteAs the saying goes "practice makes permanent" its good to start them early =)
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute and adorable!
ReplyDeletegreat information... you give me a tip on how to introduce to a kid writing his name :) give him a guide to trace it.. :)
ReplyDeleteNice to see that your child has already starting to master / develop his motor skills. :) You're a one proud mom! :)
ReplyDeleteIt really is enjoyable and self-fulfilling seeing kids improve especially with our guidance. From crawling to walking, from scribbling to writing and many more... Ang haba ng pangalan, but eventually he will be writing that completely soon... :D
ReplyDeleteYehey for Kiko! ANother milestone for you Ms. Marri. :) I'm actually quite impressed that as early as 3, Kiko can do all sorts of stuff now, especially tracing his name. :)
ReplyDeleteIba na talaga mga kids ngayon, they learn so fast, next thing you'll know they write long sentences or sometimes a good story.
ReplyDeleteI bet he can be a future artist, engineer or something like that. Just hone his skills more.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Kiko and Mommy:) I remembered my baby at that age- nakakaexcite at sobrang cute pag may bago:) ang bilis ng development ng mga bata ngaun db?
ReplyDeleteKiko your doing great! Keep practicing scribbling so that writing will be an easy task to do. Keep it up mommy Marri, you are doing your job well!
ReplyDeletenice documenting their early stage of developing skills, hope he continue to practice and learn more and be inspired by your documenting these special moments of his life.
ReplyDeleteNaks naman, you sure have a fun and creative way to teach your son basic writing skill. Magaya nga.
ReplyDeleteIf you've got an iPad, there's this educational app that let kids trace shapes too. Good supplementary teaching tool :)
ReplyDeleteWow! That's really an unforgettable milestone at 3. ^_^
ReplyDeleteParang kapatid ko lang din! :-) Ang tatalino na ng kabataan ngayon.
ReplyDeleteSuch an achievement for moms. Good job!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Mommy! Sooner or later he can write his name in full :)
ReplyDeleteKeep it up kiddo! Long way to go and please be patient as learning should always be fun. Mommmy will always be there for you.
ReplyDeleteNice to see a kid learning. Of course, credit goes to the mommy who nourished and nurtured the kid
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I also wish the same for my 2 year old daughter although she already know how to trace but I still do wish that she'll be able to trace her first name with ease.
ReplyDeleteMy little girl is 4 and in Kinder...she knows how to hold a pencil but has no patience tracing...instead, she scribbles...lol. Well, she is going to be a doctor, so that's okay ;)
