Nadia, Shaman,
it is really great result, you did fantastic work I sure.
My baby is 5 mos now and I only try to plan our learning programm, pls share your experience from what age did you start each of Reading, Maths, EK?   
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi Katarinka! What a unique & beautiful name! What does is mean?

I started Stimulation Flashcards with Cameron since day1. Up to 2mos. I would print and draw them myself using black & red pens. At 2 1/2 mos, I started to show flashcards (Doman style). She focuses and smiles at them! Not long after, the math dots which became her favorite. Alongside with math, I'm using the Doman Picture Dictionary CDRom for EK. To supplement, I  also printed pictures with corresponding names at the back.

The key is to start early. The stimulation cards prepared her for the words. She readily focuses and does not look away!
To this day, I feel so blessed that she still gives the same intense concentration when I show her her lessons. True, nowadays she is more interested with climbing & crawling but she's not taking her eyes off the lessons even when she's climbing the computer table. I really feel that the stimulation flashcards helped a lot - it has trained her eye to focus well.

Godbless!

Dear Nadia, Shaman and Skylark,
I see you are excellent moms, your advices help me a lot. So my mess in the haed (too much information and contra - versions) transformed in the individual learning programm for my baby.

I decided to start with Math , it seems less difficult (for me of course  , I'm sure in my Sophiya). I'll start just at age 5 mos (in 2 days) and I believe she will love it like Shaman's son  . Next exercise will be in 1.5 mos with Reading and 10 mos will bring us EK. I'll also try English with EL. So what are your opnions about it? Oh, I know, I know, your answers are ... LET'S START, Don't talking, present your daughter happiness of development. You will be right .

Now I'm reading poetry to daughter, we are  doing Doman's gymnastic, 3 times a week visit swimming-pool(start swimming from 1.5 mos).Also  as I play piano quite well , we are having some music classes, she is already intrested in Mozart and Betkhoven.

For Nadia: my name is Ekaterina (mean Clear from Greece), Katarinka - called me my Grandma with love

Mmm, girls, I'm so happy I'm not lonely with my aspirations. Thanks!!!

My 19 month old daughter likes to remember things in sequence. She has learnt English Alphabet,days of the week, months of the year and sometimes even remembers the sequence in which I show  her the colors, animals etc in a video or slideshow.
Can anyone suggest what all things I can teach her that has a sequence..because that's what interests her more.

I am trying to teach words through slideshows but then again she remembers the sequence and says them before I even show her the word..without reading( which is a bit of a problem). So I have to shuffle through my slideshows daily.
Flashcards are not working as she wants to play with them more than reading.

Can anyone suggest a better method please?

Hi Deba! Wow, your baby has a unique taste! I've read that babies love unpredictability that's why Doman suggest to shuffle cards regularly. Babies do have such different preferences don't they? That's why we are adapting our teaching methods to them - and not making them adapt to the method.

What I can suggest is for your to introduce a completely new song that contains a combination of new and old words. In this way, she would learn that 'Monday' or 'January' or 'Red' can also be part of different situations. Once played repeatedly, this new song can be her 'new sequence'. You could sing the song to the tune of her favorite nursery rhyme so it'll be easier for you to compose (you just replace the words).

Incorporating music, esp familiar music is a great way to add interest to your lessons. I'm sure your daughter will love it! Hope I could help. Happy teaching!

As much as I avoid testing Cammie, I could not always keep reign on my husband's will. While I was sleeping, she tested her again. I was about to reprimand him but I quickly forgot my contrariness once I watched the video. She is sooo cute!

At the 3rd question, Cammie has her hands full of her toys so she just smiled at the right answer.

Donald: "Cammie, can you tell me which one is the elephant?"
Cam: (looked at the cards and gave a smile at the elephant)
Donald: "Where's the elephant?" "Elephant"
Cam: (looked back and forth at the two cards and smiled at the right answer)
Donald: "Elephant?"
Cam: (looked back & forth again as if she's confused why Donald didn't get her. "I SMILED at the elephant Daddy - like this! *smiles*)
Donald: "Oh you're tired na?"
Cam: (lost interest..Daddy just didn't get how she answered)

Donald grabbed her toys away and changed the set of cards and Cammie resumed to answer by touching the cards.
