Yes I will let u'll know what the presentation is abt...

Hi everyone!
Have u heard of the Total Development Program offered by www.educationaltechnologies.com
It is offered in some countries...has anyone bought it?
They r giving me a presentation on 15th May...this Saturday...so i was wondering if anyone else has known this programme and used it.

Thanks

thanks! its a great app!
wonderful way to make bit cards...

I'm from India...and it worked well here...

Questers! Thanks for sharing the useful schedule...

Hi Jayashri.. My doc told me that the OPV given by govt is of different strain...hence we give it to my daughter apart from  the required schedule...it happens monthly and they usually come door to door...they also have polio booths...i have one right next to my bldg...
I'm not sure if its important to give..though i know quiet a few ppl who've not given OPV to their kids.

hi jayashree...
my baby is 5 mnths old...so far she's received Hepatitis, BCG and oral polio vaccines in doses from the hospital...Here in Mumbai I also give her oral polio vaccine from the govt organised drives...(My Doc suggested that I give her that) mostly it happens on a sunday of every month...
Next she'll receive her vaccines when she's 9 mths...

Thanks Questers! I'll speak to my doc..my baby is 5 mnths...so i guess the age for these vaccines is crossed...i'll find out from my doc if we can still give her the vaccines...

Hi everyone...
have u heard of Rota virus vaccine...I did a little research on it and found that it should be given to babies but i have no idea when...
Has anyone given this vaccine to their kid? Which month should it be given?
Plus..have u also given pneumonia vaccine to yr kid? what age?

Thanks!

Hi...I have a 5 month old daughter and i attended ISP when i was 5 mths pregnant...I paid Rs. 6300 in Feb 09...They have centres all over Mumbai...
Its an excellent program for the overall development of yr kid...
anyone who has kids upto 8yrs old can learn a lot from this program....resources are not cheap if u're buying them (unless u have the time to make them at home....I made flash cards at home). Other option is registering for a toy library...it should be around yr place so that u can rent out materials from there to teach yr child...
U need to be consistent, dedicated and have plenty of time to teach yr child....every developmental stage has different activities...
To be honest I am not very regular in doing all the activities with my daughter...there's no time! But i'm trying my best!
Good Luck!

Hi, I am from India, Mumbai.
I am near my due date and completed the ISP program a few weeks back. It focuses on developing the child Physically, Mentally, Socially, Spiritually and Emotionally.
As most of u rightly said, its a combination of Doman & Shichida method. The applications start right from when the baby is in the woumb...like showing flash cards from 7th month of pregnancy.
The program has plenty of applications that should be applied on the baby at every stage. Needs a lot of dedication, sincerity and commitment...Certain concepts like Sleep Talk really work (a lot of parents in our class shared their experience).
Its a wonderful program that every to-be parent should take if they have a chance!
But remember, they can only show the path...we need to walk on the path and reach the goal on our own!

Happy Parenting!

Hi..
Here In India, we have a programme called ISP (Infant SSY Programme) which taught us when and how to show Flash cards. The concept is based on Doman's method.

0-3mths:We were asked to prepare 28 words for this period.
Show 1 new word everyday for a week, 10 times in a day for 10 secs. Repeat the same words next week and also in the 3rd week. In 4th week, show all the 7 words everyday, 10 times for 10 secs total. So in 1 month u've shown only 7 words in all. For next month do the same with another set of 7 cards. So u've shown all the 28 cards by the end of 3 months.
Eg of words: mummy, daddy, sister, mother, all, we, I etc

4-6mths: We were asked to prepare 90 words categorically for this period. Each category contains 10 words. So 9 categories in all.
1st week: Show 10 cards everyday (any 1 category) twice in a day.
2nd week: Another set of 10 cards
3rd week: Another set of 10 cards
4th week: Revise all the 30 words (3 categories) twice in a day.
So in 3 months u've shown 90 cards (9 categories)
Eg: Categories can include Fruits,Vegetables, Family, Animals, Clothes etc.

7mths-3yrs: We were asked to prepare books and cards.
1st week: 10 words (from the books made)
2nd week: the same book eg. My family, which will have "this is Daddy' on one page and Daddy's photo on the next page. Include all family members. Repetition is the key here. "This is" repeated on every alternate page. Show the book at least twice in a day.
3rd week: 10 words (from another the book made)
4th week: Another homemade book eg. My Actions and include all the various actions the baby does with his/her photographs. "I am Sleeping" and baby sleeping picture on next page.
Continue this till the child is 3 yrs old, making more and more complex books and words as the child grows.

Though these are just standards, we need to set the pace by judging our baby's interest and grasping power.

I am very near to my due date and plan to start with this method and then modify it according to my baby's needs and interest.

All the Luck!

Joha! Thanks so much...I have downloaded the doc file... atleast I can start with making these words now! And there's plenty of useful stuff in that thread...i really liked the website www.childandme.com...It has so much of info!
Thanks a lot!

Thanks Questers! will make the cards according to categories, then!

Hi everyone!
My due date is end of June and I plan to make my own flash cards for my baby. I am confused as to what kind of words should I include in these flash cards. Do I show random words or categorize them in different topics and then show them? Pls help!
