I've got some for DD, we've completed YBCR. She seems to lose interest on sparkability and some of her elmo DVD. So I went to our library and got some new ones for her which she seem to enjoy. My question is, how do you use your DVDs like YBCR, TW, or sparkability or whatever. Do you let them watch it again after certain time? Or once the program is over, you replace with something new?

I speak Chinese and Shanghainess to her as much as possible even in public. (I am a native speaker of both) I will take her to Chinese buffet once a week and have the waitress interact with her. (They love to! )  So she hears them from someone else other than mommy. I am trying to get some quality media for her as support material. I also am trying to get my parents involved on the phone with her. (Hopefully in person soon too.) I took her back to China twice last year for 3-4 week a clip. (Hopefully I planned the seeds. )

I am not worry about her English learning opportunity at all.

I got a lot of world music from library and playing them in the car. For now, just have her get a feel. Not really teaching. I think there are a lot of environment for Spanish. I already found a school that teaches Chinese, Spanish and English all at once so she will have chance to learn from other kids there early on.

I think it's enough for her little mind. If you want to learn more, she certainly can, later on.

It is very interesting to see what she will pick up from where. It's obvious that she picked up some words from YBCR, a lot of concept from sparkability, also a lot of words from playing game in car while mama trying to entertaining her. (Sadly, it's the only time she focus on what I say. )

So far, there is only 2 options. Western union or bank transfer. I asked if they do Paypal. The answer is no.

Correction. Shipping and product total is $155RM. Which is $50 US. Total price for product alone is about $30.  $15 western union fee.

Contacted them directly. For 5 CD/VCD it cost 100RM after 10% discount. SHipping is 60RM to US. Total of 160RM which is less than $30. BUT, they only take western union so the total came out to be $67 for me after fees. Here is a complete list of their product in attachment:

Can you start to tell that your kid is gifted/advance/interested in a particular area?

My DD is almost 22 months and I can't tell what she is interested in and that somehow frustrates me a little as I don't know what activity we should be doing to bring out the most of her. Aside being active, she is very average in all areas.

I am teaching my DD Chinese and English at the same time. I can tell that she is picking up whatever is easier. She now just start to take interests in math. It's clear that she is into Chinese and will be learning in Chinese first (It's so much easier in Chinese than English. All numbers you need to know is 0-10, hundred, thousand, and 10 thousand. Each individual number is much shorter than English too. "lin, yi, er, san, si, wu, liu, qi, ba, jiu, shi, bai, qian, wan" That's partially why they test better too.) If you are teaching two or more language at the same time, how do you help them to understand math in both ways? To be honest, I had a lot of problems when I learn it in English. 

I came across this awesome site and loved all the samples they have on their site.

They are based in Malaysia and it is not sold in China or US! I am wondering if anyone owns any of their CD or DVD?

I am now testing their clips on YouTube with my DD and she seems like it but I would LOVE to have some CD for rides and such. Esp. the Multiplication table CD. It is SO much easier to learn it in Chinese.

I guess it depend on your child's age and personality.

I rotate between YBCR, sparkbility and Elmo. I think she learns so much from sparkbility, thus it's my favorite. YBCR helped her start talking so I think it's more of a left brain then right brain. Elmo is fun for her and she does copy some of the things from it but not whole a lot.

I would guess if you have 2 people speaking 2 language, then you would want to do one language per person. It's the best way but not always available.

First of all, get a hearing test done and make an appointment with early intervention. It's free and they will tell whether the child is qualify for service.

We took 1 class when she was 1 year old. It made her love water and bath time. Now we've stopped for a term and she started not wanting to take her bath! We will enroll again after summer! It's one of the basic life skills everyone should have.

Tweedlewink DVDs.. Shichida clases, if you happen to live near one Shichida school.

Thanks alot for your reply. I don't live near Shichida school although I wish I do. I tried tweedlewink demo with DD and she is not interested.

I've been reading on this board for a long time now and still feeling clueless. My daughter is 20 months and is little slow on speech. (uses around 20 words so far.) She wasn't saying anything at 16 months and I started her on YBCR. I am fairly pleased with the result. I also started her on sparkability recently and she also loves it. (seems like it better over YBCR) We read few books a day and do flash cards from time to time. She is VERY active. We are a bilingual house hold.

I love to add more right brain activities and improve her speech. What would you suggest?

Just want to add that my little one love the demo so much I just bought it! She picked up 3 signs : all gone, more and blow kisses from the demo within a couple of days. Awesome job! I also like the DVD touches different subjects. Great right brain material!

I only use YBCR, Elmo & short videos on youtube with my soon to be 20 months. That's all the screen time she gets so it's a treat and I only play them when she is crabby or time for me to prep dinner. (Or sometimes when I have 10-15 minutes chores to do) She does pick up some things from them which is nice to see and I can pop in and out whenever I can to "interact" with her instead of have her sit in the kitchen floor and play with pots and pants (tried that and it didn't work). It educates her in a different way and I get to keep my sane.

I sing songs from those DVD to her in the car when we have a red light or she is crabby. She totally DIG that. It's a life saver for me, really.

If I feel that she is having more than 1 hour screen time a day in the past few days, I will arrange more "out of the house" trips so she doesn't get addicted.
