Conclusion, my time is very valuable and the most work and the less talk I do for my daughter will be better.

Through sharing and exchanging your knowledge, you feel good about it. After all, you learned all the information from friends who had shared with you in the first place.

Well that is why we are all here right?
By the way, I feel being a mother makes be responsable for my child's education that is why I search myself for clever information to accomplish our goals I don't expect anybody(a friend,the neighbor or maybe my sister)to tell me what should I do or how should I do. I belive if you want it GO AND GET IT!!  I don't have a single friend, relative or neighboor who showed my about this forum OR ANY OTHER TOOL WE USE, we had to searched ourselfs for that!
So I guess we all have different opions and we can't "judge" people for what they don't do, is maybe because they consider they have good reasons for not sharing  some info.
And  I honestly I wish I could be wrong.

MySunshine and Drprimo
I totally understand your feeling and have been most of the time in the same place. I think not sharing has nothing to do with being 'selfish'. The issue is that the reaction of people when you mention early education is often negative. As I am passionate about these topics I too would like to share with everyone and at first I did but not one of the people i refered to is interested and think I am giving to much knowledge to my grandson and i should spend time with physical activities (which i leave to his dad). I realice that it is better not to say anything.

Depends. By not sharing, you are seen selfish, ...Through sharing and exchanging your knowledge, you feel good about it. ...
I would be more willing to share with people who are interested to know and with common topics.

I found it is much better to share with people in this forum that have same interests than to share with people around you, even relatives. I was told by a preskool teacher that it was not recommended to talk in english to 3 years old that do not speak clearly their mothers language (spanish).

When I have mentioned early education to some folk, they really think I am absolutely off my rocker!! I am sneered at and sometimes excluded from groups because of it. Same with ECing. (Elimination Communication). I haven't met one family locally who know what I am talking about, or even want to hear.

I don't talk about it anymore. I keep it all to myself because I don't want to feel like I have to justify myself all the time. I just hope in years to come the effort will all be worth it and my son will be a little ahead of the game.

It feels right, it seems to be working, my son loves the pp presentations, so I will continue, I don't see there is any  harm in giving it a go.

I would absolutely love to spread the word about this site, but there is just no point. It leads to arguments, fights with family and bad feeling. Odd eh?

I have tried to share on a number of occasions with my friends and family. My family is fascinated by it, and super eager to learn. Most of my friends and colleagues, however, say things like "you're going to fry your child's brain" or "you're going to create a dysfunctional child.

Exactly this is what people around me tell too.... Initially i felt so bad,but now they are all wondering by watching my son and eager to know abt right brain education. Their ego still doesnt let them learn. I give their own time to understand... Afterall they are grown up that way. So nowadays i neither get angry nor am i put down. Time will definitely bring out a change. Im happy and surprised that,in India we have schools that follow GlennDoman, may be very few in number. But i can very well see people are changing their attitude in education nowadays...

As other have said in other words... you have to be very careful 'sharing' your knowledge with other parents. Their first instinct is defensiveness, like you're judging them for not doing right by their babies. From there, it's easy to become critical, and then judgemental.... honestly, sharing your philosophy and practice is not the best way to 'win friends and influence people'... just stand by your guns and do what is best for your babies. That's my philosophy..

I really have a problem with this. I want EVERYONE to know the BENEFITS of early education.
I know I have to keep my mouth shut knowing about the reactions I usually receive from people (mostly relatives) BUT IT IS VERY DIFFICULT since any time i learn something new, i want to share it.
i don't understand how they can fail to see those benefits.
