Ben 10 in Korean

If you have a son who is 5 years and older, I'm sure you are very familiar with Ben 10. I heard Cartoon Network is aired in Korea and was amused to find the Ben 10 theme song in Korean. My son had a blast listening to it.

Book Highlight: The Green Frogs

This is a popular Korean folktale re-told by many generations of Korean parents to their young children. It is a story about 2 frogs who never obey their mother and always do just the opposite. Growing up, our parents would tell us this story to teach us the importance of obedience. In Korea, children who don't listen to their mother are called "chung-gaeguri" or green frogs. Author Yumi Heo does a good job of telling the story in English with artistic graphic illustration.

Makes a great bedtime story with a good lesson!

Looking for a good piano program for your kids?

Like most Korean parents, I've been taking my son to piano lessons since he was 5 years old. It's not because I'm doing the Korean thing but my son actually loves music. He takes after his dad.

Anyways, he's been going to the Yamaha Music school near our home. I highly recommend it. It's in a group setting and they have classes for each level. My son's in a class of about 6 kids about his age. They provide Yamaha books, DVDs and CDs for your kids to make it more fun. They also sing and dance in the class to teach them pitch and rhythm.

They have classes throughout the country. It's more affordable than doing private lessons which I think would be boring compared to the group lessons...plus the peer pressure does wonders! They have classes starting at age 3.
