Zoe’s first creative play session seemed a certain success. She started out as shy and unwilling as anyone should be facing a stranger, and she overcame that shyness since I started getting familiar by giving her information about me (things like my family, my favourite things etc.). I noticed no flaws in her english comprehension. Once she feels complitely comfortable with me I will be able to evaluate her vocabulary skills ,as it has hard to tell if she didn’t remeber the words or she just was too shy to talk a lot. Once I gave her alternative answers she would immediately pick the correct one , which means that even if she doesn’t remeber a few words, it is just a matter of time and excerice to require her speaking skills and of course, from then on, develop them even more.I should also note that there were sings of great emotional intelligence. Besides being brilliant,she seems highly empathetic, as she related very fast to emotional tones . Actually mental intelligence and emotional intelligence are higly correlated and develop one another, especially in kids who share a healthy and loving relationship with their parents.And my educated guess is that this is the case with Zoe.If there is anything you whould like to ask or you want me to make clear please let me know. It goes without sayng that I am interested in any information you find important or helful to share anytime.
