End. ( not sure if I should post this as some might not understand what I am trying to write here.
These r the guidelines, however Pro Shichida did stated the earlier the better. He quote alot about Glenn Doman in his other books for older children. Eg the maths dots...
In my own opinions, the reading and maths n EK programmes can use Glenn doman as it stated very clearly in his books on the steps to do it. My understanding fr my friends whose children that are attending Shichida class. For flash cards they use alot of pictures unlike Doman method. And one of the mommy told me that her first child start w Shichida method shows less interest on wording compare to e younger child who start w doman method first. Of course all these r personal experiences.
For me I will be using Doman method as a start for my son and add in more things as it goes. In future when I have a better understanding will add in linking memory, speedreading ESP or whatever that will be taught in the class. In short will be combining few method together.
I really hope my post will not confuse anybody here
