Counting…
Posted By margaret on November 6, 2010
Isn’t it amazing to watch a young child learn language? They are so very young and must pick up on not only how to pronounce a word, but the meaning as well. It is necessary to know how to use it properly, but the most interesting to me is the fact they must learn a concept.
A few years ago I played the computer game, Myst. The game opens on an island and you have no idea what you are to do, where to go, or even how to play. There were sounds and background music, but other than that you were in this game and had to figure everything out yourself. When I see a two year old learning a language and all of its nuances, it reminds me of how inept I felt first stepping into Myst.
Children’s shows certainly help with the language skills of young children, the same for learning colors, or numbers, or counting.
Sesame Street even has a guy called, The Count. He counts everything! Repetition is the key to learning, and The Count certainly does his part.
It must work because we continue to count as we age. Of course, some of us stop counting birthdays, but basic counting goes on and on. We count the number of days until a big event, or we count how many of something we own, or wish we owned, or … you get the picture.
As we approach what is often referred to as the “holiday season” we tend to count more. How many people to cook for, how many to buy for, how many will attend, how many, how many?
I hope you will take a couple of moments to view our “counting” gift to you.
