Hi All

I live in Sydney with my husband (kiwi) and Australian born son who has just turned 18 months old. I just purchased Little Reader last week and so far am enjoying the forums and watching my little man get interested in reading

Hi !
I'm from Adelaide, I have a 16 month old VERY busy little boy. big grin
He is much more interested in banging things and running around than my efforts to teach him reading & maths. blush
I would love to have anyone's advise on a helpful "program" that I can follow to help me know what to do on a daily/weekly/monthly/yearly basis. I find it particularly hard to know what are the most useful tools and activities I can use at this age. Because my son is hard to engage in these sorts of things, I need to stick to simple but effective things.
ANY suggestions welcome big grin

Thanks
Sheryl

Hello Everyone!

I'm from Brisbane.  My son is 9.5 months old.  I'm new to this forum.  I've just read Glenn Doman's book "How to teach your baby math" and trying to adopt his system.  I'm not sure whether I'm doing it right or not or how much my son is absorbing the learning (at times he just seems to look away and not even wanting to look at the flashcards).  I'm wondering whether I should also be teaching him how to read at the same time??? 

I'll be returning back to work next month?  I'm worried his learning will be stalled.  I want to find out how working mums and dads go about teaching their kids the Doman's system and juggling other work.

Anyway, would love to hear more from you all and to hear about your experiences.

Hi Bonisac,

Welcome to the Aussie section. Its a pleasure to have you here.

There are plenty of threads on how a working parent can continue teaching your child. There are also dvds like Your baby can Read and can also use little reader and little math which are very good.

I also do my teaching in the morning before work and while my little one is in the bath.

Hope this helps
Kimba15

Hi !
I am very new to all this. My son is 16 months old and I have just started the Brillkids Math & Reading. My son seems to like it ! If he sees me at the computer he wants to sit on my lap.
I am just doing the sessions as they set out but wonder how you know the child is taking anything in? He only says 3 words at the moment but is very 'vocal' with sounds for everything and pointing.
Is he too old to start these programs?
Will he still benefit?

Thanks
Sheryl

Hi Kimba,

My world is wide open on the learning process... all I need is time (working full time sucks!) I've being part of the forum for over a year, and although I don't say much... I read a lot of the stuff that is written here.

[]Has anyone heard about startSMART Education Pty Ltd, I've received a panflet ages ago, went on their website and requested some information, yesterday I finally got a reply (months latter - no joke)... I've asked what approch did they use, and what was their research based on... I will post the email I have received as most of the sources he mention I'm not familiar with (so much to learn, so little time...)[/color]

Also another question, has anyone in Melborne taken their kids to the Shichida School that has opened there?

Dear Cristiane,

Our courses are informed by a range of contemporary and reputable sources
from Australia, New Zealand, USA and UK.  We have sourced the best, as
shown not only through research, but also by the experience of our tutors.
Our research is eclectic, taking the best of many and applying it in a
practical Australia setting and approached in play-based ways.

Specifically, our research includes some (but is not restricted to) the
following:

the brain research of Fraser Mustard (2006),
the Harvard Family Research Project,
the Early Years work from Scotland,
the Australian Research Alliance for Children and Youth,
Research linking Brain/Mind principles to Conditions for Learning (Rushton,
Eitelgeorge & Zickafoose, Cambourne),
Surestart Program from Britain,
Mem Fox's research  and
the work of Dame Marie Clay (New Zealand)

Our approach is designed to fit in with a range of educational approaches
to early learning including Montesorri, Reggio Emilia and the Australian
Early Learning Framework.  Our content and philosophy is complimentary to
the NSW Board of Studies Foundation Statements and English Syllabus.

We hope the above  answers your queries and look forward seeing you at our
seminar and Parent Course soon to be announced on our web site.

Kind regards, Richard Wolf
