Saint said:they can't speak in full sentence,
but they know how to read ABC.. 123, some words like apple, car,cat, etc..
I use flash cards to teach them. Also pointing to real objects.
When i call their names, they will come to me, i think hearing is not a problem.
However, they just can speak to demand something.
Saint lives in Malaysia.Astronuc said:The books provide simple but complete sentences. When one reads and says the words while pointing to objects or actions, then one provides context to the child. One can also ask questions of the child, as in "What would you do or say in this situation or if you were [the character in the story]".
ABC's and numbers are very basic. Books (with narratives) provide stories and more complex and stimulating context.
Look for books at http://www.kidsreads.com/, which provides reviews on children's books for all ages.
Another P. D. Eastman book is "Are You My Mother?", a short story about a baby bird in search of his/her mother, who has temporarily left the nest in search of food.
I can recommend other books if one is interested.

Astronuc said:Dr. Seuss books (and perhaps those of Eastman) has been translated into many languages, but I am not sure about Malay. I will try to find out if there is an interest.
I have found some references to childrens books published by Malaysian publishers, but I cannot find the details.
Regardless of the language, it is advisable to read to children, in this era, especially if one wants to enhance their mental development.
My wife is a teaching assistant at a local school. There is a substantial difference between those children whose parents read to them, and those whose parents did not.

Saint, have you ruled out things like mild autism or Asperger's Syndrome? What does your family doctor (or pediatrician) have to say about your concerns?Saint said:Sometimes the 2 year-old one, like to spin around and laugh, stimulate himself, is this abnormal?
Saint said:I can read to them,
but they can't pay attention for long, after 10 minutes they want to run away,
so, how ?
When I was young(er) I devoured bed time stories like there was no tomorrow.gerben said:It does not work to read to kids when they are busy playing, but there are times when they are more calm, just before they go to sleep would be a good time. At that time they are used to be calm, and if you find the right stories they probably do not want you to stop reading.
