[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous], I still think as a parent, at this age, you're the best person to help your kid with this.  It's almost been like bonding time with my kid.  I love to watch her learn and it's been awesome to be directly involved in helping her progress.  Just keep it ALL positive (like the workbooks recommend) and I think you'll be glad if you or your DH are the ones doing the work with your kid.[/quote]

Jr. Kumon assumes that you work with your kid at home on the worksheets. so by signing up for Kumon at the center you get 2 days of working at the center with a teacher around other kids that do the same. and u still have 5 days of working with your kid at home together (bonding). having 2 days of teacher working withthe kid is a good balance bc that is yet another experienced person bringing new thoughts to the table.

about having hard time scheduling around 2 y old. we have 3 and 1/2 y old and he likes to sit with us at the table and do his thing (puzzles, coloring)... some days we give him a bowl of uncooked pasta and ask him to "get it ready for cooking"  with a spoon he moves it from one bowl into another (we do same with rice). we ask him to sort pasta by color.  basically my point is make the 2 y old busy first and then do kumon while he/she is on his/her task.
