   ya, teaching them about time take time but once they know the concept, they can master it pretty soon.

   Wien took about a week to understand the concept and she is very excited once she can tell the minutes correctly.

   Hey, u just gave me an idea. How about placing a digital & analog clock next to each other.

   Then the kids will know that that they both mean the same thing….

   Hmm..someting for me to consider for my own house…. 😀

   That’s how I teach Brae on telling the time, short hand first with the long hand at 12 and slowly move one with the long hand. But it’s hard for him to grasp the concept of 5,10,15….mins. Will slowly teach him since he’s only 3+.

   XY can tell time looking at her digital watch or the clock on the pc. Can oso tell the time if the long hand is at 12. But she still can’t grasp that 1 hr = 60 mins. Really difficult to teach hor.
