Products for 4 month old

[tree]

Hi,

I was wondering what DVD and other products would be good beneficial for a 4 month old.

Many thanks!

LR and LM are great, they worked really good for us at that age. We decided to wait with videos though till at least 6 months...

Thanks for that!

Is there lesson plans etc contained within each program?

How long each day do you spend on each?

Thanks:-)

Flash cards, flash cards. We printed a lof of flash cards form this site and laminated them. We also ordered the Doman's Math Kit and love it. If I had to start all over again, I would order both programs, the Reading Kit and the Math Kit from the Institue. I think right now they have free shipping. Their website is http://www.gentlerevolution.com/

We did start YBCR (your baby can read) and BST (baby signing time) when our daughter was 4.5 months old.

Thanks Joha,

Does that kit contain lesson plans etc?  How long would the material last for? 

Many thanks

Yes, both LR and LM have curriculums, which are very easy to use and follow. I use LR curriculum for English, and we do it two times a day for a about 3 minutes each time. We aldo do LM ( however I am not using curriculum, but rather my cistom schedule according to Glen Doman classical schedule, you can download my presents from LM presets)  6 sessions a day roughly 10 seconds each

I also use LR for Russian ( which I am not consistent just yet, alas the downside of no curriculum  ), and Chinese, but normally I would do a couple of sessions of each as well. It seems like a lot, but each session is less them a minute, and they are spread out through the day...

We also do listening to classical music - about 40 minutes
Listening to Russian, English and Chinese songs - the same songs in those languages at different times of a day, while we do dancing or massage
Listening to classical English - KJ Bible, poetry
Classical Russian - poetry

And lots of play, as well as independent play

Both I and my husband babywear our girl a lot, so that comes with explaining what we are doing and naming objects...

All these activities that I mentioned only take a few minutes here and there, so even if it seems a lot, it actually not.

Hope it helps

Oh, yes, we also read about 3 small books a day together and show her baby quotes ( large colorful posters with baby quotes, she loves those!!!), -- but we usually do it while she is on the potty, so it is kind of combines together... (Sorry for typos, typing with one hand while nursing is not easy  )

YBCR comes with 5 DVD's that are good for about 7 months. However, after that time you can keep showing them, just sporadically. It comes with instructions of how many months you need to show each DVD. It also comes with flash cards and workbooks that go along with the DVD's. It is recommended to watch the DVD with you child. Personally, sometimes I do it, sometimes I don't. You can ready these threads to get a little bit more feedback about this product:

BST is a series of DVD's. They don't have a "curriculum", but they are very good.

Doman's Math Kit: It is very easy to follow. I love it because we get to do some physical flash cards with her and they are ready, they have a good size and you know the information is accurate. Now, we do the equations with LM because even though Doman's FC have the equations in the back, it does take a little bit more time to get all the materials ready (I'm just being lazy  )

However, I have to say that out of all the products we have (we have quite a few) LR and LM are some of the best. It does really help reduce the prep time that is a huge help when doing several things at a time.

Hope this helps!

Thank you all so very much for your advice I think I will definately try LM and LR. 

Am looking forward to all of the exciting new things that we can do together!

LR is Little Reader, our learning system that teaches babies and toddlers how to read. LM is our learning system that teaches quantity, number recognition, and arithmetic. They are both wonderful computer programs that you can learn more about here http://www.brillkids.com/

When you purchase LR and LM are you able to download these systems onto 2 computers? 

Also what would do you recommend - the 6 month or 12 month program? 

Many thanks

As far as I know you can download the software onto two computers. Regrading the 6 or 12 months curriculum, I think it depends on how long you want to do this for. I can't give you my point of view regarding the content because the 12 month curriculum is not out yet, but I love the 6 month curriculum because it is ready, is interactive and has allowed me to work on other projects I wanted to do.
