Wow! This is great! Karma for my friend!

Oh! That's exciting! Maybe I'm missing this allin a forum somewhere, but I'll ask here just in case - what languages are you planning the program in? Do you have other programs in the works? Do we have projected dates for any of the new languages/programs?

Wow! That's great!

I know it's been asked, but maybe we know by now...any idea on how many points these coupons will cost? Just a rough idea?

Also, what are the projected dates for the LR Chinese and the Music curriculum?

Our first daughter, at six months would point to or grab the correct card. Around a year she started to tell us in words what was on the card. Even our little one at three months will stare intently at the correct card when asked.

If they're watching while you are flashing, their tiny little sponge brains are taking it in!

THANK YOU! I'd found and used this site in the past while tutoring English, but lost it in my sea of bookmarks! Karma for you!

I'm obviously behind here, but can someone give me a quick overview on the suggested benefits of a crawling track?

We test,but it's a game for us!

For body parts, I ask were is Lily's ________, Mommy's ________, Violet's (her baby sister) ________, and she points and repeats the part. We do this with bones and some organs too.

We have a large bucket of plastic animals. I take out the animal and ask her what it is and she tells me or I will ask her to find a certain one and she does.

We do this type of activity with many of our subjects and Lily, at 16 months, loves it!

Great! Our daughter just got transportation flash cards and loves them - I'll show this to her tomorrow and I'm sure she'll have a blast! KARMA!

Awesome! I'm always looking for new youtube videos for my wee ones! This is a great idea- karma for you!

For anyone who's interested in making Montessori materials, it is possible! Not the complicated stuff like the knobbed cylinders, but much of the rest! I'll post more info if anyone is interested!

Wow! Of course parenting is not "about" flashcards - Babies and children are certainly meant to learn and explore. However, I'm sure most of the members of this site are wise enough to know that they need to follow their child's lead. If the material is not interesting and fun fir them, they don't force it and they move on!

My eldest (16m) loves to help teach the youngest (3m). I show my oldest a flash card, then she holds it up for her sister to see. She often tell her what it is and I repeat it more clearly. She also likes to play the body part game - I say "Lily, where is Violet's _____?" and she points to and repeats the body part. We do this type of tandem learning with many things.

I do, however, try to slip in a bit of one-on-one with each of them every day.

Good luck! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!

I should also add that you should choose the older children wisely. Negative behaviour like trowing, yelling, and tantrums also catch on quickly! 

From our experience, it is definitely a positive! We have a family of cousins anywhere from 1 year to 11 years older that our eldest. She learns new things from the every time we visit. I can also see that we will have the same phenomenon in our house - our 16 m/o is already trying to teach our 3 m/o her animals, body parts, etc.     

Does the book detail, step-by-step, how to deliver the various material? Does it have a strong focus on "buy our Dvd's" or is it fairly comprehensive on it's own?
