- Can you guess the NUMBER 1 predictor of a child's early educational success? I was really surprised to find out. In this video I'm joined by Dr. Tamar Andrews from the American Jewish University who is an expert in Early Childhood Education and is here to help answer your questions like what is the best preschool choice for your child? Should you choose a Montessori school or a Reggio one? How about a faith based choice like a Jewish preschool?

I like how Dr Andrews said the more involved a parent is in their child’s school the more progress the child will make. I just retired from teaching in public Title One schools for 30 years and I can attest to this statement. Parents who stayed in active contact/partnership with the school led to children who were more successful. It was so discouraging when I had students for an entire school year whose parents I never met. These students were often the ones who struggled the most.
The research proving this is beyond question. In my own practice I’ve also found that the more involved parents are the more open they are to the reports that teachers will give them about their child’s progress. Thank you for serving 30 years in our school system. You’re a hero!
as an early childhood educator and someone who is passionate about early childhood, thank you for highlighting this field and bringing such a knowledgable person on board to talk about it! it's so often overlooked and brushed to the side because the kids are so young but it's so, SO vital for children's development and there needs to be more attention drawn to its value! anyway, I think I speak for a lot of ECE educators when I say thank you for using your platform to highlight the important work of preschools :)
I appreciate your kind words so much and am so glad to hear it resonated with you!
Hey ladies! You're wonderful.. Greetings from a teacher of English language.
Thank you! 😃
Btw, excellent content. I own a Kumon center so we get a lot of young students who need to learn to read. Our program has some print awareness pieces that grade K and 1 students who cannot read yet really benefit from, but I didn’t know about the object’s orientation in space thing. That information will be a huge help for me.
Learning to read in Hebrew as an older adult has also dramatically impacted my ability to help students learn to read. It’s amazing how many letters look the same to the unfamiliar eye.
I’m so glad that you found my little demonstration useful to you. I’d love to have some follow up to see if you actually are able to use it in your Kumon center
That last point about when children are ready to read and how that affects their love for reading later in life stunned me! Great video!
So glad it was insightful!
I really enjoyed this video Marion, because I am a 61 yr. old retired Early Childhood Educator/ Montessori Directress. The courses that Dr. Tamar was talking about sound very interesting.
So glad to hear it!
ABSOLUTELY FASCINATING about when s child is ready to read & write! Thank you!
The selection and training of teachers is crucial when our children are in the care of these people for a goodly portion of the day and need to learn from them and trust them. Most of these learning systems are flexible in practice, esp. in America.
So very very true! Without the trust of the teachers we have nothing.
Great video, thank you for answering so many questions I had!
Glad it was helpful!
This was such a good video Marion! I don't have kids yet but BzH will soon and I will 100% bookmark this for future reference. Thank you for sharing!!
Aww thank you so very much!!
Thanks for this video. It's so timely for me as a mom of a 4 y.o. and almost 2 y.o. I'm on the board of the Jewish day school they will be attending, and we are in the middle of a rebranding, so I've gotten a lot of good nuggets from this video.
So glad to know it was helpful!
This is such a great and interesting video Marion. Definitely gave this video a big thumbs up. Thank you!
I appreciate that so much, thank you!!
Ah I loved this. The drawing/reading thing is super interesting! My 21 month old is super into letters and has already learned to recognise K, T, O and M and wants to know what letters are constantly. Shop signs, road names, words on the floor, books. She's tracing the words as I read stories now and if starting to memorise little bits. I've been wary to do any more despite it being clear she loves it because I don't want to push her too much. She's not even 2! But she's started the very beginnings of a person - circle/spiral for a body and straight lines for legs. So maybe it's closer than I realised? What do you think? I'll still follow her lead obviously, just a bit surprised how close we are!
That was how it started with my older son he loved looking at the letters on the stop sign and talking about finding letters as we went around on our stroller walks.
That’s a great question. Many people question their children’s ability or lack of ability based on age. Forget the age as a requirement or anything that has to do with pushing. Really look to see that your child has both the desire to learn how to read that is Annette, meeting not wanting to just please you and that your child has ground in the picture.
@@DrTTalks thank you. We're definitely following her lead. She's loved reading with us all her life and it's in her top 3 interests. We never ask her what letters are, she either tells us or asks us. It's amazing how much her drawing has developed in the last 3 days, she does a body, eyes, a mouth and sort of legs. We're still definitely a little way off but it's certainly going to be sooner than I imagined.
I love her point about knowing which kid works best for the child. My child is going to a monstessori school this fall that is certified, and we chose to do it for him because of how I noticed how he plays and learns and that aligned with their principles more than anything else. It's way more expensive than a standard preschool but I know he would enjoy it more than a traditional school environment and I personally think loving school from the start is important.
I'll make sure to take into account what she said that I need to socialize within the school. I didn't even think about that hahaha
That is brilliant about the reading thing. I think all kids do things when they are ready. My son did not learn to read till he was six. He is now 13 and a straight A honors student. I really think it is more important to see how the child’s critical thinking skills develop. I could tell extremely young how my son had critical thinking skills. But if your child shows an interest in reading very young that is awesome.
Very very true, thank you for sharing that!
Do you do video reaction
How do you help a child develop object orientation in space?
This is actually not something that you can force to happen. Just like walking or other skills only occur when there is an integration and matturation in the brain so what the child does corresponds to what the brain cells and their connections are actually doing.

Thanks for the support!!
I don't think we can conclude that the bribery approach to getting a child to cooperate or obey is a safe choice from observing that older children stop expecting small tangible rewards in order to comply. Thought needs to be given to the fact that a child's idea of an adequate reward becomes more savvy as the child matures.
Very true! And using rewards for potty training might be a good strategy but using rewards for all behavior might not be.
Shalom I am also Jewish I having my kid bat mitzvah soon
Ahh that's SO exciting!
You are super cute
