The reason that my husband and I teach children to play chess is that we both firmly believe it really helps them. Chess gives them many skills which help them in life, giving them more chances in the world! Karen, thank you so much for stopping by!

They are so cute and brilliant. You must be very proud of them. I think so often we parents underestimate our children's abilities. You are a great example of how to nurture and teach your children. My hat's off to you! Just saw your kids on YouTube! They are so cute and brilliant. You must be very proud of them.

She played her violin at one of my husband's school concerts a month ago. I just have to stop procrastinating and take the time to get in on YouTube. @Laura I plan to put up a video on YouTube!

Your son is just plain old adorable, and a chess genius to boot! Kids today are I think much, much smarter than they used to be. Hopefully so, and this world will become a far better place for that, too! Anyway, I couldn't resist the chance to make a posting here and also post our website link - LOL :0) !

How fun! I have a youtube video about my son teaching my daughter to play. It was back when she just turned 2. If you search "chess kids" on youtube you'll see it. It has about 12000 hits by now! Maybe you can put up a video about your daughter too! Wow, that’s exciting about your daughter. How fun!

I love that he is teaching is 3-year-old sister to play chess. It's never to early to learn something like that. My daughter is learning to play the violin. She's 2, and her father is a professional violinist. It's so wonderful to see little ones take an interest in a hobby that works their minds. He is too adorable!
