I am finding it hard to challange DD 2.9. I am talking more toy wise, puzle wise etc. Everything I get that I think will challange her she ends up grasping and mastering immediately.
I don't want to frusterate her by going to hard, but I get things for kids twice her age and it doesn't challange her.
She loves workbooks so instead of preschool ones for 3-4 and 4-5 year olds, I thought...humm I'll get her a K one for 5-6 year old, that meets national standards and has a full year curriculum...in 2 weeks she has done over half of the 300 pages and has not been challanged at all. I am thinking of buying the 1st grade one after Christmas.
She mastered 24 piece puzzles so we moved to 35 piece ones last week. I figured I should get her 48 piece for christmas...have several wrapped and under the tree, however se got to open one of her presents Sat night at a christmas party and she put it together in no time flat...definitly did not challange her. I didn't think she was ready for 60 piece ones but maybe she is.
She got a Mighty Mind game as a gift the other night. It is for 4-8 year olds....she got to puzzle 21 without even having to think....(it is kind of a tanagram type thing) There are only a few cards left to do.
Everything just seems to come easy to her. If she hears it once, sees it once, etc, she seems to know it and grasp it....manythings I don't even know how she knows, but she does...So is it just that I am not buying hard enough activities? I am already chosing activities that are for kids 3-4 years older then her. Should I go up even higher. I am afraid of frusterating her but also afraid of her not learning how to work through something challenging.
So how do I challange her?
