As KL said DD, son of GD, is in HK. I got a ticket to his talk. Anybody has any qns that they would like me to ask him or to KIV if someone asked that qn and post his reply here?? It's hard to attend his talk least talking to him, but í'll do my best......

I would be asking - why do my child points to both cards when i am asking "which is" ....
anybody else got any others qns for DD?? other than those found in his book of course as its only a short 2 hr thingy ..... thx

will post his answer under this link

I have one (I am not sure I put it in right words, though I tried smile )


Is there a study as to the child's natural abilities/talents affecting the results of GD program? i.e. will all kids learn  the same things in the same time if put through the program consistently?

I have one question too.  My child wants to say the word out during the presentation, and thus does not seem to be paying attention to the next words.  Should I pause to let him finish? Or would this slow down the whole presentation which is supposed to be "flashing" and "fast"?

Thanks for your offer. I once had a bunch of questions and I wrote to their e-mail. They took a while to answer, but they did reply with a very personal (specific) letter answering each one of my doubts.
this is the e-mail address ([email protected]) You may also want to try it.

wow sounds great maybe we compile an entire list of qns for them and email to them as well....instead of having each of us email on our own ..... this way everybody gets to know what kind of qns is pertaining to their own experiences and what is the solution by GD...... if we each mail on our own it may take longer for GD to reply since he may have to read thru them all and answer each one individually ..... but i try my best to ask DD first .... the talk is on 11/4/09

Hi, DD was in Latvia half year ago, and that was my first introduction with this system at all. Therefore, I just wondered about everything, and did not have any questions.
Karma to you smilesmile

Later I got some questions. The most important is:
about the development of vision.

In our family, we all are short-sighted. (Parents and grandparents.) We started to wear glasses at age 8 - 11.
What are the possible causes of short sight and is it possible to avoid it with my child (2 years). Until now, doctor says that everyting is OK. But I am sure that if my doughter will wear glasses than people will blame our early education for it.

One more question.

In GD books, teaching with paper cards is adviced.
Nowdays, we use computer slideshows and other resources.
With computers, we can make our sessions more attractive, and increase the amount of information. We can show, for example, 50 slides instead of just 5 cards, and a child still enjoys it. What are your opinion and advices about this? I mean, the increased amount of information in one session, and the use of computers.

Hi, Let me introduce myself first. I'm Mandira and I live in HK. I hv a 15mnth old son who is slightly delayed in his development due to his prematurity, I'd like to know if this programme will benefit him in the same way as other kids or I need to do something extra. Secondly, how can I get to hear The DD talk? I'd be glad if Trinity papa could ask this question for me. Thanx. smile

Hi mandira, GD program is especially for children with mental slowness, actually for those with half a brain .... no i am serious the original program develop my GD was for such children, and the understanding was if it works wonders for those kids what about normal kids....?? and the rest is history ...... I am sure DD would be happy to talk to you about your case too..... but then again i also do expect alot more parents to be there with their qns ....

Since your living in HK you should come down to central library to listen to DD, you can get the tickets at causewaybay plaza 2 ..... hmmm maybe KL can post the poster here ....although i got the original news from somewhere else .....

Would love to hear DD talk in Hong Kong.  I attended the Institutes in Philadelphia last year, but DD was away travelling at the time.  When and where is the talk, how much and where can I get tickets?
Many thanks
Denise

I would also love to know whether doing bits on the computer has any affect either positive or negative on learning material.

Also, how have the Institutes utilized computers if they have at all?

Do you still have that e-mail saved?

Please do tell us what he thinks about computer bits. Though I am positive he approves, since all the bits I have from their Institute are CD's,
I personally did not like them very much. My kids like them, but they prefer LR. The spelling in Spanish is often wrong, not to mention the pronunciation (with a strong English accent)... besides their price... 1 CD with 10 presentations $30
