Relative to Cayen, Cayson is harder to teach at 3.5 years old as we’re still trying to get him to know the alphabets and numbers 1-10. I also observe that during our weekly Shichida lessons where the other kids seem to be memorising the flash cards readily while Cayson is usually silent. (It was not always like that in the last semester but he’s less engaged and quieter in this one. Not sure if it’s due to change in teacher or that his best friend is no longer attending).
