WHAT IS THE METHOD USED TO STIMULATE SMALL CHILDREN INTELLECTUALLY?
Tiny children are learning all the time. They absorb information at a rate that is unfathomable. The first five years of life, their brains are exploding with connections being made, and information being gathered and stored. Never again will your child's brain develop in this manner. To stimulate small children, we present the material in a very fast manner, and then play with images, songs, puppets, etc.. in a more relaxed and playful way, to make the connection to the word being presented. Tiny babies and small children learn so fast that we must move quickly on the words, so they do not get bored and lose focus.
IS THERE PROOF THAT THIS METHOD REALLY WORKS?
Yes! Yes! Yes! Glenn Doman, the author of "How to Teach Your Baby to Read", first published his book in 1964. He has been teaching parents how to teach their babies for over 40 years! He has seen his first subjects grow up and then teach their own children. Hundreds of thousands of parents, in many different countries, have taught their babies to read in just minutes a day using this same method.
WHICH PRODUCTS DO I NEED TO GET STARTED?
All you need to get started is the video "Baby's First Words". The first video has 40 words put together with children, animals, music, and puppets, for a truly entertaining way to learn to read. The video has a slide show accessible from the main menu that can be used to review the words being taught. If you are looking for just one product, this truly is the end all of products. Our main goal is to make quality products that are easy to use so your precious time with your baby is not lost looking for materials.
SHOULD I DO THIS DAILY WITH MY CHILD?
It is a great idea to use our products daily to continually stimulate your baby. Glenn Doman, author of "How to Teach Your Baby to Read" recommends that children view the reading materials three times a day. We are not suggesting you watch the video three times a day, as that would be too much television viewing for a small child. However, you can watch the video in the morning with your baby, and then later just view the slide show, which takes just a few minutes, or you can review with the flashcards. There is no wrong way to use the program, except for playing it all day for your baby! Your child will benefit whether you view materials once a day or three times a day. The amount of stimulation you want to give your baby is up to you, and your child will let you know if they are enjoying it or not. Only continue on if your child delights in the program!
WHAT IF WE DON'T DO THIS CONSISTENTLY?
Any interaction and stimulation will benefit your child in a positive way. I believe that once you begin the program, you will see what an intellectual your baby really is, learning just for the sake of it. Whether your baby learns to read, or just learns more about the world around them, you have succeeded in satisfying their thirst for knowledge.
