You will have to divert his interest gradually... may be if he interested in car games,get him car toys and make him play manually and then u can try to make him interested in many other thins too... Just a small step required-know his other interests and boost that up!!!

thankx for the update baz... that was wonderful and i now know a bit of mental abacus... So when a bead is pushed up, we move our thumb up and when a bead has to get down we move our forefinger down!!! thats it ryt? so initially if we train the kids with unit beads it would be fine i think..or shud we have to teach them tens,thousands etc toooo? how many picture cards should we have to show? when do we have to check if they have taken everything menally?

thanks a lot jake... i understand too much of importance should not be given to the bad behaviour... thanks again

hi jake
my son is now 2.5 years old.went to peadiatrician today, and the doctor told this is normal behavioural problem and that it is similar to thumbsucking,banging the head etc... my son has headbanging problem too,he hits himself(but very safely) when he doesnt get what he wants. i doubt is this all because of overstimulation, but infact i dont stimulate him often nowadays, no flash cards, nothing i do for the past 2 weeks as i was busy in shifting my house. banging the head,hitting others, these two behaviour has developed after he went to the preschool. i noticed one boy who was very violent in his school and prob'ly he has learnt this from him. but how will i make him alright????  i'm really really confused and depressed. doctor has adviced not to send him to preschool for a month or two. you know, the school is so good,everyday he learns lots of rhymes etc... i'm really worried he is gonna miss the school, but if i send him to school then the teachers may not undertand his as a  behavioural problem.....

hi jake,
 my son doesnt have special needs. some of my friends son also have the same proble. but many say its normal at this age. but i dont know when he will stop this behaviour!!

thanks for the responses.
he eats well and sleeps for 9 to 20 hrs at night and 2hrs in the daytime.
i have to check for pinworms with the doctor...
would there be anyother problem???

hi all,
I now experience a strange behaviour from my son which makes me embarassing sometimes. My son nowadays started playing with his genitals and is always lying down. when asked to wake up.he is not waking up. one of my friend also has the same problem. today,in his preschool, his teachers complained me that he is always lying down and not getting up. i dont know what to do.if he is not given any activity that he likes, he is interested in lying down. i dont scold him but i tell him so lovingly or i divert his attention.but my mother who takes care of him,when i'm at work, is getting too tensed and many times starts scolding him. i dont know what to do now. pls help...

Hi all,
  How do u teach other languages?
According to glenn doman, teaching english requires 25 cards in total to be flashed 3 times a day (5 sets of 5cards each 3 session). So in this case, how many other languages can be included?? if we teach other language,then should it be like 25cards a day again? If so, how many languages in total can be taught? Though the research says a child can read upto 21 languages ( i heard so), how is possible for we parents to make the child learn that many languages?

hi all,
i would like to know how much would it help flashin the words after two years?if we had trained the baby with flash cards from 3months may be it would not be tough. but how are we to flash the words for kids above 2years or probably 3years who is not exposed to flash cards at all? will it work for kids above 3 years?will the kid be interested? has anyone tried starting doman way of training after 3years?
some of my friends tried, but their children were not at all interested and the parents stopped flashing!!

thanks everybody. i now understand whats praise and whats encouragement. Usually i clap when he sdays the right answer and nowadays he is expecting others to clap too....Now i understand what i do and what to do... thanks everybody..
