Wan Qi loves to do puzzle

According to Shichida, to have talented kids,parents should let them do puzzle. And they should able to acquire this ability before 2yrs old. Hence, I let Wan Qi do the simple puzzle those with knobs at a very tender age about 7mths plus but she wasn't very interested and because she don't really know how to sit probably at that time I was scared that she might fall and hit the knob so I gave up eventually.
And when she was about eleven mths, I let her play again and she knew how to do it. And then I realised it was my helpful maid who had been playing with her. :) I was quite contented and didn't pay much attention to it. It was only after talking to my colleague Hui Li that I started to panick. Apparently, her daughter had already know how to do a 20pcs puzzle by 2 yrs. Out of panick, I went to Kiddypalace and bought a box of 3-5 pcs puzzles for Wan Qi who was by then 16mths. I thought I still have some time to catch up. :P
And from then on, Wan Qi's love for puzzle grow. I remembering cheering and laughing when she first did the 3 pcs dog puzzle on her own while I went to the kitchen. It was such a rewarding experience to see that she can accomplised the puzzle on her own.
Now, I could just leave her alone while she did all her puzzle. Right now she is doing a 20pcs puzzle too. Target reached thanks to Mummy Hui Li. (Aiyo lazy mummy always have to be pushed by friends and colleagues)
