【后记】数学的启蒙也从来不是靠“等到孩子准备好”才开始,

有人问，“这不是太早了吗？”

其实，就像语言的学习，数学的启蒙也从来不是靠“等到孩子准备好”才开始，而是悄悄在生活中浸润。

Rhea 能自然说出 “Rhea save it for later”，
背后不是一两次教，而是日积月累的陪伴与语言输入。

“Rhea's parents taught her counting for thousands of times already.”

是的，数数这件小事，他们已经教了上千遍。

但他们没有急于求成，也没有功利心。他们只是日复一日，用真实的语言、真实的互动陪着她长大。

Counting is everywhere:

Toys

Fruits

Food

Steps

Fingers

Images on a page of the book

Cars passing by

Birds flying in the sky

Windows on a building

Clouds in the sky

Books on a shelf

Tiles on the floor

Buttons on a shirt

Fingers in a hand

Blocks in a tower

Rocks by the river

Flowers in the garden

Puddles after rain

Leaves falling from trees

Pictures in a photo album

Stars in the night sky

等你看到孩子突然表达出一个“高阶概念”的那一刻——
其实那不是奇迹，而是种子发芽。
