Alfie always surprises me with his knowledge. At his age now (5 going to 6), he knows and understands a lot of things far much better than I was at his age. This evening, at a regular piano practice, he asked me "What is allegretto?" I said "I don't know, let's google it" I opened the google page and let him type. We got the answer 'allegretto means moderately quick' He read by himself as he can read now. Suddenly he added "Oh, it's like Adagio means slow, and then Moderato, Allegro and Presto- if you want to sing very fast!" I was speechless for a moment. He knows the terminology very well. I checked google, and they are all right! I myself never heard Presto in my whole life :) I asked Alfie where did he get all the things. He said "From Little Einstein!"
For those who against TV for kids, I must say that in fact it brings a lot of good things to kids - especially Alfie. He learnt many things from Oso, Handy Manny, World Word, etc.
The most impacted thing that we observed Alfie learnt much from TV is his English. It is impressive listening to his vocabularies and how he use the phrase or terminology at the right time. Here are just some samples:
"Mama, can I help you arrange the silverware?", "Wow, the rainbow is invisible", "We will arrive at no time"
