61  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child - Other Topics / Was this Right Brain Kids ebook free before? on: October 25, 2010, 07:21:59 PM

62  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child - Signing, Speaking, Languages / Re: When did your baby do their first sign? on: October 25, 2010, 07:20:31 PM
My little guy is 8 months and not signing yet, but when he's upset I can sign "eat" or "milk" and if he smiles and gets happy, I know that he wants one or the other.  So at least he's understanding
63  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child - Signing, Speaking, Languages / When did your baby do their first sign? on: October 25, 2010, 03:11:43 PM
I'm wondering when Brillkids babies start doing their first sign. 

We have all the Signing time videos and are doing YBCR (where I sign the word/picture up on the screen).  It's funny to see him get all excited when Rachel is on the screen, it cracks me and my wife up--I think he has a crush on her!
64  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child Math / Re: Kitchen Table Math on: October 24, 2010, 04:25:44 AM
Thanks for the link Marta, I was wondering about these books.  Apparently he has books all the way up to calculus.

Karma to you!
65  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child Music / Re: Mozart K448 can increase your IQ on: October 23, 2010, 01:39:33 PM
Have any credible studies been done on what happens to adults IQ/abilities who learn piano or another instrument? 
66  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child Encyclopedic Knowledge / Re: great video in gallery on: October 21, 2010, 08:56:08 PM
I agree, it's like TW for us poor folks!
67  BrillKids Software / Little Reader - General Discussion / LR / LM/ LMu bundle? on: October 20, 2010, 08:57:46 PM
When Little Musician is released, will there be a bundle with all three Brillkids products?
68  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child - Other Topics / Re: How does Speed Reading in TW work? on: October 20, 2010, 03:13:06 PM
I've taken a number of speed reading classes, and the main obstacles adults encounter are:
1)subvocalization (reading in your head, hearing each word as your eys pass by it)  This limits you since you can understand incoming information "bits" much more quickly than even the micro-machines guy can talk.
2) regression-returning and re-reading what you already have read.  This is a bad habit that develops since we may have allowed ourself to not focus on material or are distracted.  When done often enough it is an engrained habit that really slows information intake.
3)lack of absorption-human eyes can focus to a pinpoint, and when reading, we often focus on one word at a time.  If you can train the eyes to take in a chunk, for example stopping on a section of 3-5 words rather than one you take in that much more information.  Advanced readers can absorb information on the left hand of the page then right, stopping only twice per line.  Some say you can take in two lines at once when you really get going, I haven't made it to that speed yet!

 I'm leery of claims like Photoreading that say you can absorb a whole page of info instantly, unless you really have a developed right brain and process the whole page holistically.  If it is possible, I think it would have to be trained as a child and would be much harder as an adult.

The EyeQ exercercises are supposed to train your eyes to track better and not stop so often.
69  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child Math / Re: math and science videos cheap! on: October 19, 2010, 04:27:35 PM
I ordered math and the reading sets.  Some of the DVDs did get damaged in the mail, but I haven't gotten around to asking for a replacement.  They go through standard mail and the sorting machines can be a little brutal.
70  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child - Other Topics / Re: How does Speed Reading in TW work? on: October 19, 2010, 04:26:32 PM
I don't have TW, but I saw their sample demo, and here's my 2 cents:

I have the EyeQ speed reading program (for adults) and some of it's exercises seem similar.  The concentric circles that slowly get bigger are supposed to train the eye to absorb more information beyond a small focal point.  Eye Q also has things moving side to side and up and down to train the 6 eye muscles to track quicker(literal eye muscle exercises).  I'd imagine TW has the same thing.
71  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child Music / Re: Piano Wizard on: October 16, 2010, 08:41:01 PM
I may be mistaken, but PW Academy has everything Premier does, but with some extra features and 50 lessons on 10 DVDs.  This link compares them side by side:

73  EARLY LEARNING / Early Learning - General Discussions / Re: New book: Brain rules for baby on: October 16, 2010, 06:44:47 PM
http://www.amazon.com/NurtureShock-New-Thinking-About-Children/dp/0446504122/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1287254535&sr=8-1

Check out the reviews or "Look Inside" to see the table of contents.  Lots of research done, some of which show the opposite of what we've traditionally accepted at the "right way" to raise kids; ie. praising kids(saying they're smart vs praising their effort) actually can lower their motivation, due to a fear of failure and high expectation.  It's a nice read if they have it at your library.
74  EARLY LEARNING / Early Learning - General Discussions / Re: New book: Brain rules for baby on: October 16, 2010, 06:02:10 PM
You will view your children—and how to raise them—in a whole new light. You’ll learn:

Where nature ends and nurture begins
Why men should do more household chores
What you do when emotions run hot affects how your child turns out
TV is harmful for children under 2
Your child’s ability to relate to others predicts her future math performance
Smart and happy are inseparable. Pursuing your child’s intellectual success at the expense of his happiness achieves neither
Praising effort is better than praising intelligence
The best predictor of academic performance is not IQ. It’s self control

I really love this point and completely agree  LOL
Why men should do more household chores

Sounds a lot like "Nurture Shock"
75  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child - Other Topics / Re: what interests your child? on: October 16, 2010, 03:12:47 PM
Right now my son loves tigers.  In all his videos he pays attention or laughs when there are tigers.  Also, he's enthralled at listening to people with German accents--go figure!
