What got you interested in early learning / teaching your baby?

[Kimba15]

My husband and I got interested in early education because we both really love to read.

We started reading to Sophia since i was 16 weeks pregnant and i was feeling a response from her around 6months pregnant. We read dr seuss books particularly Green Eggs and Ham. The morning she was born (via ceaserean) My husband was her first contact and he started reciting Green Eggs and Ham, and there was an instant response from her.

Sophia is a very alert baby even her gp has mentioned on several occasions how alert she is, and i believe that has alot to do with her natal reading.

I also became interested in early education due to the fact that my brother has a major learning difficulty, and I want to make sure that Sophia has the best start in life and to overcome any problems that she may have (if she has any) early in life. My mum also noticed my brother's diffuculty while in infancy and she spent most of his childhood fighting with schools to get the help that he needed and going from paediatrition to paeditrition to get help. If only she new about the doman method or the YBCR,

I hope this helps

Isn't that just fascinating?? I think God designed babies to be so magnificent!! Children are geniuses!

Hey Everyone,

I was just wondering what it was that got you as parents or caregivers interested in teaching your kids (early learning). Mainly what i am really asking is what triggered the passion?

For me I stumbled across the YBCR website and saw all the video on little babies reading, which lead me to doing more research in the early learning area, I then came across baby sign language and then to this website, where it has become a passion. I also want to give my little girl as many opppurtunities as possible in life and to develop a love of learning, Even though I live in the 'Lucky Country" Australia, I want Sophia to feel she can become whatever she wants, and that she has been given the fabulous gift of a great education which is the one thing that can never be taken from you.

These are some of MY reasons...
1. The younger the child is, the easier it is for them to learn.
2. I want to do 'something useful' with them.
3. They should become independent... if you teach them early, they'll know from the beginning that they are responsible for themselves.

Hi Kimba,

I have 6 children and I have always loved to teach them everything.  I never knew that babies could learn to read until I had my fourth.  I stumbled across a copy of Glenn Doman's book at a library sale.  I knew babies could learn all kinds of thins, but when I read his book, it turned the lights on for me.  I am happy to say that I did get to teach my fifth child to read as a baby.  He is now 4 years old and can read almost anything.  I am still working with my just 2 year old.  I think there is nothing more fun in the whole wide world than teaching babies anything.

I was searching for books on brain gym books in Amazon and then stumbled upon Glenn Doman books in Amazon. THen leads to search abt flash cards and then come to this site and found Little Reader and Little Math. So Wonderful.

I was at the library and ran across How To Teach Your Baby Math and I've been hooked ever since!

I got interested in resourcing in parenting when i was pregnant with my son. A lot of people told that pre-natal teaching is important as the little one is alredy opening up himself to reciving the data we teach them.

Hi I got interested in early learning since my little brother when he was young did not speak till the age of when we consulted a doctor he said that if we had tried to talk to hime & teach him things in his early age he would have started talking in an early age but my mother did not have much exposure and the doctor she initially consulted advised her to put him in a school which did not work out properly.

When I was pregnant, I was asking my ob-gyne what to do to help my son's development inside my womb or help nurture him more, what other vitamins to take, etc.
She gave me an idea. Listen to the music while my son is still in my womb, just like that. and with regards to the vitamins, she just gave me iron and calcium.

Although I know that that is not the only thing I can do and not just those vitamins to take, I did not ask second opinion, my mistake.

When he is still a week old, I asked his pediatrician too but she just gave answers that I think all of
us mothers already knew.

Even before I don't know any program regarding early childhood education, I started to show my son any picture from the book, letters, and sometimes I draw then show it to him...
Then I started searching. In my mind I know there is something that I must need to do...
Then I found some good sites, and then I found this site.
