11 Things I Wish Every Parent Knew by Dr. Stephen Cowan

After 25 years practicing pediatrics, and caring for thousands of children, I've noticed some patterns that offer me a deeper vision of health. Here are some of those invaluable lessons:

1. GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT ARE NOT A RACE.
These days we’re in such a rush to grow up. In our mechanized, post-industrialized world of speed and efficiency, we've forgotten that life is a process of ripening. To get good fruit, you need to nourish strong roots. Pay attention to the ground that supports your child’s life: Go for a walk with your child, eat with your child, play together, tell him a story about your experience as a child.

10 Things Children Will Always Remember

I am sharing with you today 10 things that I will never forget.

I come from a childhood packed with millions of sweet memories surrounded by family, friends, and people that understood what love is.

It is amazing to me that most things I remember from my childhood make me smile and happy, considering that we had really little money, a lot of empty stomachs and much reason to pray for help.

I had a wonderful childhood not because of the things we had but because we had each other. This post is about creating sweet moments that our children will always remember.

Cambridge Young Learners English Tests



Cambridge English: Young Learners, also known as Young Learners English (YLE), give a consistent measure of how well 7–12 year–olds are doing in the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. Tests are designed to make learning fun and children are encouraged by working towards certificates and earning ‘shields’ that record their progress.

Learning English and gaining the right qualification can give your child a head start in life, leading to improved employment opportunities and opening the door to studying and working abroad.

Children who learn English when they are young have an advantage that will stay with them all their life. The sooner they start learning, the better – with the right methods, they can learn English quickly, effectively and enjoyably. Even the most basic certificate is a start on the pathway to qualifications that are useful for work and study.

Making learning a new language enjoyable is an important part of encouraging progress and building confidence. Cambridge English: Young Learners encourages younger children to work towards three certificates, Starters, Movers and Flyers. By using engaging materials, children build real language skills that develop into a good grasp of English.

Why E&I?

Our approach promotes enjoyment and encourages the students to participate. We use a combination of the communicative approach, task based learning and total physical response methods in order to get the language across and provide ample opportunities for participation. The children get to interact with native speakers through verbal and physical participation and the lessons are interesting and relevant to their age and language needs. Our aim is to get the students excited about learning English and get them learning without them even realising.

Here at E&I we offer constant support for our teachers which ensures a high level of quality. In order to do this we provide our teachers with carefully graded courses that have been written by experienced course writers in Thailand, along with flashcards, activity sheets, worksheets and specifically created games.

Why is it important to learn English as a foreign language?

Studies show that children absorb language more easily at an early age. It can also be said that children have the capability to retain information and acquire skills at an amazing pace. It is important to start learning a different language during this period.

If a new language is introduced at an early age with as much exposure to native speakers the children are more likely to develop their own skills to a near native level. With this approach children gain the confidence they need in order to use the language freely.
