The babies are eager to learn!

Initially I was skeptical about teaching my 18-month daughter math. But after reading the book, I found out that that Glenn Doman and Janet Doman have discovered the completely different method of teaching a baby math, not the same that is using in junior schools. Their method suits for a baby from zero moths old, i.e. from birth. The are three lessons a day, each lesson last fifteen seconds and give such a joy to the baby that she woke me up in the mornings asking me to teach her math. When she hears my steps when I return from my job, she runs to me to teach her math. The babies CAN and WANT to learn!The babies are eager to learn, they want desperately to learn everything they can, as quickly as possible, but the adults are often fail to provide for the babies the adequate opportunity of learning.Glenn Doman and Janet Doman offer funny and inexpensive way of teaching the baby math, by means of special inventory: cards with red points indicating a real quantity.A few words from my own experience on producing the inventory: don't even imagine of cutting the cards or the points by yourself. Order the empty cards of the specified size in a nearby company, which prints business cards. Order five thousand 0.75-inch sticky red circles on a roll of ORACAL in a nearby company, which decorates the shop windows. The authors do not emphasize on ORACAL, but the process of putting the circles to the cards should be as easy as possible.

A Great Discovery

I do not think I exagerate when I rate this discovery as one of the greatest of the last century. Infants, up to age 2-1/2 years, have the amazing ability to instantly recognize quantities (or dots). An infant can recognize the difference between 78 and 79 dots (or whatever) and point it out to you. Not only that, this amazing ability can be used to teach math. The dot quantities can be shown to teach addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. These children grow up with this ability to instantly do math and the instant quantities. The ability to instantly see how many cows are in a field or birds are flying together in a flock once existed in all of us; we just never had this ability exercised when we were very young. It only takes a few seconds to do an exercise so you only spend about a minute a day showing your infant or toddler. This truly is amazing and a great lifetime gift for your child.

Invest in your Childreen, improve their life

When it comes to improving our children's life there are not enough stars in heaven to rate this book and the contribution Glenn Doman has made to mankind. On the surface the whole program looks like nothing but memorization. However if you understand the philosophy you understand that it is all about Quality repetitive stimulation, not memorization. The philosophy is simple and we have heard it a million times, The brain is like a muscle the more you exercise (stimulate) it the more it develops. There is one important difference however, the development of the brain is some what inversely proportional to ones age. The youngest mind (Infant mind) responds (develops) the best to stimulation. There is one other major point we need to understand. There is a difference between learning and developing the brain. Developing the brain is the establishment of the neuron connection in the brain in to the different areas of the brain, this is how your increase your IQ. Learning is the activity of studying a subject, and internalizing it, this is how you increase your wisdom/knowledge. We all understand to become a professional athlete, we need to develop the capability of the muscles to perform the work and we need to learn the skill to perform the work. We also understand there is no way to separate the two different development areas. That is as a beginner to any sport you have to and do develop both the skill and the ability at the same time as you participate. The whole point Glenn and Janet Doman are making is one that any good coach understands, the most effective way to increase the rate of development and potential of ability is to engage in quality repetitive stimulation.My degree is in Education, and I am a student of life and how we, and why we learn, Glenn and Janet have written several books that clearly explain why and how to increase your child's potential. The philosophy is sound and the methods are well proven. There is but one thing to consider, are you willing to develop children that are smarter then your self and give them a real chance to excel. If so read the books, understand the philosophy and consistently employee the methods. Your children will be greatly rewarded!!

It really works!!! Thank you for this book and this way !!!

My name is Ewa Walczak(Poland).I am under impression of your book and the way of giving education to the tiny kids. There is a traditional model in my country(I was received as a fool.) I did not have enough time to do all the exercises with my daughter Alexandra. We did some steps only. But the results became very good. Alexandra(9 years old now) is very good in mathematics and she understands it as the rules of nature.More to say I have been given to my daughter all the knowledge she wants and I do not avoid any questions or matters. The teachers at school are under impression of her wide knowledge and activity.

the enthusiasm is contageous!

Terrific and instructive book in the doman series of "How to teach..." books. The writing is clear but not concise and tends to be very repetitive. The methods are interesting and nearly irresistable to parents who value intelligence and are willing to expend the (minimal) efford required to teach. I truely enjoyed the books and am enthusiastic about the program
