I am going to school for child psychology so I know how much infant stimulation and learning can help mold a young one's brain and body. I started out playing classical music, reading stories and using babyplus before my son was born. Now I read to him, I'm starting to sign and use this program. I also let him watch a baby einstein every once in a while b/c, although there are not many words on them, they do have stimulating music and images. I do not tell everyone what I am doing or done just to avoid the questions or arguments. I figure when my kid is older, making good grades, loving to learn and having a vast array of knowledge, people will wonder what I did to encourage him. I just want him to have every opportunity in life. I really don't care what people think; that's why I don't share with many. And you know, I don't force anything on him. He's like a little sponge already at 6 months, and he loves the interaction with me when I am doing these activities with him. If you start to teach them early, they look at it like playing. They don't what learning is; they just know that you're doing something with them that catches and holds their attention. Then when they get older, learning's just natural and they like it.
I look forward to reading the article....

That's wonderful that you taught your kids to read at a young age using flashcards. I like hearing success stories! And your grandaughter is very lucky to have such a devoted grandma! I hope she likes the program as much as my son does! Good luck, and welcome!

Hello all, I was not too happy with the sound quality of the pronunciations of my downloads, so I re-did them! It was annoying (for me at least) to keep turning my speakers up or down depending on if the category was mine or brillkids. Now, if you have already downloaded some of my categories and would like the updated ones, this is what you do....
Go to the download page and select the download you want. Click download and then open on the box that pops up. Little Reader will open and say you already have this word file. Just check the apply to all box, then click REPLACE and you're done! Everything will update.
The sounds are much louder so you shouldn't have to keep adjusting the volume...
Thanks, and I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. OH AND BTW, PLANETS WERE NOT CHANGED. YOU DO NOT NEED TO RE-DOWNLOAD IT.

Do you feel the desire to do more?  If so, I'm thinking furniture (bed, chair, couch, table, pillow, desk, etc.) appliances (dishwasher, washing machine, clothes dryer, refrigerator, etc.), and toys (coloring book, blocks, ring stacker, doll, yo-yo?, etc.) - my apologies if these 3 suggestions have already been posted or created by others! I haven't had a chance to download all of the new additions yet! Okay, gotta run for now. Take care all, and thanks again, nhockaday! Some of those items are already included in my downloads. I do already have a toy category, but a second toy category is always a possibility!
