Hi Sapna,
Thanks nhockaday! Yes, the teleseminar is $98. When I took it, it was a live teleseminar but I guess they are not offering it anymore. However, they do provide support for parents who have questions about the best way to use their products. I got emails from them from time to time featuring parents' questions that we can learn something from.
If your boy is hyperactive, let him see the sample first and see if he likes it. There may be some sections where he doesn't want to pay attention to but that's okay. You don't want to force him to it. Watch it with him together and he will appreciate the time you spend with him. :P

Hello Iris, Thanks for your sharing. A few months ago I thought my son was having speech delay (because he was not reaching the milestones that he should be reaching) and I got really concerned. I was referred to a speech pathologist who said although my son spoke a little, he understood a lot. She then suggested us to ask him to speak out what he wanted before we gave it to him (just like what KL did). For example, my son really likes Cheerios. Instead of giving him Cheerios when he said "mum mum", we asked him to say "o". We then started the right brain DVD on him (I made a post on "We are starting to use right brain education on our son") and we saw a language leap within a month. The speech pathologist was glad when we saw her a month later and she suggested us to introduce action words to him - like go, get, want... In fact, the more I learn about kids' education, the more I am convinced being able to speak early is not necessarily good or bad. Every child develop in their own pace. My daughter spoke very early at her age and she was speaking in full sentence when she was 18 months old. She is a more left brain person because language skills is a left brain (logical) skill. My son is more right brain. Although he speaks a lot of single words at 19 months now, he rarely brings 2 words together to make a logical, meaningful phrase. So far, he is left-handed all the time. We are not worried about him now because we see that he excels in some other areas that my daughter (almost 4 years old) still cannot manage to do well!  The most important thing is to give him lots of love and stimulation so that he is going forward every day! Teresa |

Hi Sapna,
Nice to meet you at this forum! As KL said, right brain development has more than just reading but teaching kids to be able to read early will definitely increase their interests in learning/ reading. Other things such as math spots, foreign language and introducing perfect pitch using a tuning fork will also stimulate the right brain. Remember, our job is to give the right brain cells enough stimulations so that they will not die out without being used. Being able to read early is a fruit of these stimulations.
Take a look at the sample of that DVD (in previous post within this subject) and see if your son will like it. I bought it because it has a large varieties of learning information other than just reading. My 19 months old son still enjoy watching it and we are very glad about his recent development. I also download the Brillbaby flash cards to show to my kids - they love it too (especially the animal sounds!).
If you want to know more about right brain development, take a look at the articles from this web site. You can also purchase the TweedleWink Overview Course CD (that's the teleseminar course that I got into in the first place) or read the free eBook from Right Brain Kids (again, in previous post. Let me know if you cannot find it!)

EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child - Signing, Speaking, Languages / Re: Signing with your child

Thank you so much, Buckeroo! I have got some handouts on common signs from the infant development consultant that I met. I will try to familiar with it before I introduce it to my baby (good idea!). You're right, if we don't learn it first, it will be difficult for us to use it when we need it!! I will also look that the signing web sites! Teresa |

Thanks for all the information about sign language! I haven't used sign language with my 2 kids but I am going to try it with my third one (will arrive in a few months) since it has so much benefits! I was asked by an infant development consultant to try sign language with my son when he was not yet speaking but I did not tried it...
Thanks!
Teresa
