  1. OK so I have a pair of twins who's both three years old. N I think it's time for them to learn how to print. I traced n dotted out the alphabet but holding their hands and making them trace it over and over again is hard because they always get distracted... I feel like crying. Ive been teaching them for weeks. What can I do. I need other options....
     
  2. There in school. But they play more than they learn
     
  3. Try a different school
    :|
     
  4. Well in honesty don't fret every kid develops differently so don't give up  they'll get there
     
  5. Make them trace with different color crayons maybe :) they may focus then 
     
  6. I got my nephew to learn his letters by tracing them on my tablet first then on the paper. Kids love technology xD
     
  7. Lol I wish. Tuition is over the roof these days for two kids. I put them in a public pre-k because of financial issues and that's why I want to teach them when I have time but it's so hard... Like they always get distracted.
     
  8. I'll try these options. Thank you
     
  9. Gotta get them interested, try associating what they seem to like with your teachings
     
  10. I get distracted do every time I study :roll:
     
  11.  My parents beat the alphabet into me. I was very advanced when I started school.
     
  12. Three years is a little young be worried about them having to write. Most three year olds still can't speak properly. Let them be kids, maybe use a leappad to encourage learning. Three year olds don't have the attention span to learn to print, which send be the problem.

    Playing is still a learning experience if they have the right toys.
     
  13. which could be* the problem
     
  14. Well cuz I started to print at three so I thought it would be the same with them...
     
  15. There was a welsh app on my phone when a few of my family where little. But the welsh alphabet is different. It involve tracing the letter(s) and saying the letter.
     
  16. Yes, try some apps on your phone maybe. But remember every child is different, so don't get too frustrated if they want nothing to do with it yet, they'll get there :)
     
  17. I have the app on my other phone. I'll state it after when I can be bothered to charge it although I doubt it would be much use 
     
  18. I think you should start with simple tracing such as lines curves and circles. / ///((())))oooo
    Warm up exercises
    Give them candy after.
    I love candies 
