As I have been keeping very busy at work, I must confess I have been “neglecting” Nicole on her academic progress to a certain extent though I did try hard to provide guidance to Nicole and to a lesser extent, Ethan whenever possible. We still read and talk about her school work but we certainly have not been focusing on her mathematical skills.
It just dawned on me last week that I needed to buck up. I needed to revitalize her interest in Maths. So, I thought of an idea. I gave her some real money- mixture of coins and notes for her favorite purchase – McDonald’s softcone.
Nicole had to come up with the right combination before she could go to the counter and ask for her ice-cream. She was also expected to know how much change to get back if she handed $1 over to the lady. I think it got on to her nerve at one point and she retaliated.
Nic “ Mommy, just give me the money! I don’t need to count. The lady will know how much to give me back.!”
