Doman Kids- What happens when they grown up? Chat with an original Doman Mom

[KL]

Welcome, Patty and Jana!  Great to have both of you here!

[Autumn]

Hi Patty,

Thanks for being on the forum and sharing your experiences with us!

I was wondering (only if you had the time) could you possibly spare us a few minor details about your teachings and gainings while at IAHP.

I am an "all in" so to speak doman mom. ; ) I have been teaching these methods to my young daughters for more than 3 years now, but thus far still have not attended a course. Though I would go in a moments heart beat if the opportunity arose.   I would love to teach more than reading, EK, and some running but I am not sure how to go about it all. I am also VERY enthusiastic about gymnastics, but the doman book is vague. It's really my goal to implement all Doman's teachings. I get so much satisfaction and gratification teaching my little ones!

So my question to you is: Would you be willing to share with us what you learned at IAHP on how they managed to teach many things to their children?  I would especially love to know (their schedule or routines so to speak) or a  play by play of what took place on a daily basis at the Institute.

I could only imagine how many questions other moms might have for you, so only answer if / when it's convenient for you. I TRULY and respectfully  appreciate your time!

And do you think your dvd's are a much more practical and concise teaching device for the full time daily regimen opposed to  Doman's sometimes near impracticalities? I just want to teach them as much as I possibly can in an honest and factual way.

                                                                       Thanks Again!
Sincerely,
Autumn

Autumn,

USA Gymnastics offers a technical materials store for coaches, perhaps some of their items may interest you, I saw one on there for rookie coaches. Maybe you could give them a call and find out which items would be the best fit?

Patty- I forgot to ask if your daughter retained any foreign languages she was taught at an early age? Doman typically teaches Japanese, correct?

[Autumn]

Hello Patty,
 Thanks for the advice and link. I checked it out and am curious if you think a total rookie would be able to implement teaching gymnastics with perhaps just the pdp starter kit alone? We are planning on building more equipment for our new program room. We had a brachiation ladder, trapeze bar and balance beam in our last place and it was a huge hit and didn't cost much to build ourselves. Any thoughts?....

*I am also VERY interested to also hear about your IAHP life on campus. A June course may be in order for us if things turn out? Do think the class is a must?

Thanks Again!
Best Regards,
Autumn

Patty and Jana,

The Sparkabilities dvd collection looks great.  My son loved the demos.  I can not wait to add this to our collection.  
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us here.  I really you had wish classes near Washington DC.
By any chance do you sell sets of your flashcards as demonstrated in the video on cognitive development?

Thanks
Mela

Hi Autumn-

That was me, TmT that replied with the link 

I am guessing that most basic skills would be introduced like front and backward rolls, headstands, handstands, (eventually walking on hands), holding plank positions, bridges, bridges with alternating legs raised, back walkovers, front walkovers, cartwheels, round offs, arabesques, tuck jumps, stretching, splits. Those aren't too difficult and you could probably get buy teaching them at home but they are the absolute basics. You'd have to have a decent mat and be very comfortable spotting your child, watch a lot of videos on youtube to figure it out and maybe try the tricks yourself as well. Also, regionally some maneuvers are called by different names but maybe I will try to find some instructional links for you, and you should read up on universal things like proper form (straight legs, pointed toes, head neutral for starters). You can always do a trial class at a gym too, it may be worth your while. I think there is another former gymnast/acrobat on the forums too but I can't remember who?

I just checked YouTube and there are a lot of hits for "How to Teach Preschool Gymnastics" for basic ideas. And this mom taught her daughter too <a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/TLyKyA69zrM&rel=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/TLyKyA69zrM&rel=1</a>

Just want to add that my little one love the demo so much I just bought it! She picked up 3 signs : all gone, more and blow kisses from the demo within a couple of days. Awesome job! I also like the DVD touches different subjects. Great right brain material!

This is a great thread. Thanks Patty for joining the forum and answering questions. I am eager to hear your responses to the rest of the questions as you get time. I only recently learned about Doman and early childhood learning and it has been fascinating to learn about. I just wish there was more knowledge and resources available in mainstream education and childcare. I really appreciate hearing from someone who has such a long association with the program because your knowledge of the long term benefits are invaluable to those of us who are just starting out and learning about this system.

Are you in touch with any of the other children and parents who went through the program with you and your daughter? I am very curious to learn about what types of careers they went into and whether they use the same techniques with their own children.

Also, thanks TmT for posting the information about teaching preschoolers gymnastics. I had been thinking about signing my son up for a gymnastics course, but it had never occurred to me that I could teach him at home. I’m looking forward to reviewing some of the videos posted on YouTube. I’m so happy I found this forum. It has been a great resource for me!

whatever happened to this post/Doman mum?
sb knows?

[msocorro]

I would love to know if it was owrth the time and efor, everyone is trying to convice me not to do it, because os social mether or others, but I really think it could be really good for my children, I have just started, I live in spain and homeschooling is really badly see. I think what I´m looking for is the answer to : do the develop in a normal way with other children and adults?

tnks a lot, there is a big world of ignorants that just wanto to stop any difrent way of doing things and it is quite hard to fight it!
hopping for your responses

Hello everyone, I have had the honor of spending four amazing days with Patty in Prague on Play Wisely course. She is amazing and her program for children is just fantastic. I am so glad I took the course and also that I had chance to talk to her in person 

I have told her that we have been waiting for her replies but she wasn't getting any notifications so she thought there were no questions.
So if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask

I would like to ask about doman maths program.  I read that the general consensus on the math dots program is that it doesn't work. What's her opinion on this?

[Krista G]

Lelask,

Can you share what you learned with us?  This group seems hungry for it.
