We have recently moved to South Africa and get very little educational stuff on the tv. DS1 is turning 4 next week and catches onto ideas and principles pretty easily. We have started (slowly) jolly phonics with him which he enjoys, he is learning to tell the time, good with numbers and counting. We have some quiet time when he gets home from pre-school each day and I'm struggling to find stuff for him to watch.
We get numberjacks here on the bbc channel, but that's pretty much it in terms of educational stuff, and he's already pretty much outgrown that.
Can anybody help with some ideas for good interesting educational dvds that we could get our hands on to help.
My real concern is that we will be back in the UK when he is 7, he'll be in the UK system and with other children who have been at school for a good couple of years, and he will only have just been at school here, and only just learning numbers, literacy etc, and he will be vastly behind. The latest research here now says that SA kids aren't at a comparative level to UK kids until they're 9 - not something we want to put the dc through.
Sorry long winded but can anyone help???
