Tee is at this stage where she needs to do sums equivalent to 10 + A = 15, so what is A? Wow! I sure don’t remember doing that at Primary One! But that’s where the International School syllabus is at. It was quite difficult teaching this concept to her and to be honest, I have no idea what the approach is. How do you teach a 4.75 year old how to conceptualise the above? Any ideas?

What I’ve realised is that Tee is a visual learner, meaning she needs to see pictures or objects in order to learn better. Explaining things to her don’t work. So I brought out a few baskets and a whole load of balls. And we tried some exercises. If you had 10 apples in the fridge but you had 15 guests coming to your party, how many apples would you need to ask Daddy to buy from the supermarket? THIS, she gets……but when faced with the above straight line sum, she needs to think a bit more, and when the numbers get more complicated, she needs help.

I tried googling and learnt that at this age, we should play number games with the kids. On a daily basis, give them a mathematical problem like the one above to solve in a fun story form. Once their brain is trained to think logically, we can introduce the secret number, which is ‘A’ above. Apparently, once their brain is used to solving these logical problems, the series above can be solved almost automatically. I find it hard to believe but hey, I’ll try it and report back any progress within the week!

Who is Mamapumpkin?
Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.

Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.

She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.

A beautiful life without limits.

If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.

Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.

Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.
