Orsi26,

Thank you very much for each and every word of support. In the end, I got most interested on the German guy´s method....

Will ask you more details.

AnotherBookWorm, Orsi26,

I´m so grateful and surprised for your willingness to help!

You´ve hit the bull´s eye: I haven´t been able to disguise my interest and even anxiety to see her learning...and deep inside I`ve noticed a part of me that doesn´t want her to even speak (she started when she was 30 months)...subconscious blocks that I have been trying to address through therapy, but when exactly...who knows?

Well, my child is very active and outgoing, and started walking long before talking (11 months). She´s also quite agitated mostly when I´m around    .

I feel so guilty and upset that my anxiety hinders her learning, but,  now I´ve been successfully teaching her English on one week, and German on another week,  while in each of those weeks she watches videos in each of those languages (we live in São Paulo, so our native tongue is italianized Portuguese). Is there still time for her to benefit from the brain training of learning two languages?

I´ve also been able to get her interested in rhythmic reading (taaa...)and, while I felt so envious of a lady teaching her 18 month-old baby chord recognition on youtube   , I´ve finally got her interested in the Brillkids software recently  

She also listens to 432Hz classical music everyday, and I am making a CD with music from the 60s, 70s(Johnny Denver, Abba, Demis Roussous, Diana Ross) to listen in the car, because I want her to taste what it´s like to listen to music with "sentiment" which we don´t have nowadays.

Orsi26, it must have been such a joy to see your son learning that way, and I do understand I have to try to just show my daughter the way while being sure that although she may not show, her brain is absorbing everything (it´s difficult to me )

That´s it. Although I want my child to be as skillful as she can, I also make a point of taking her for outdoors activities such as parks or swimming almost everyday, and showing my love by attacking her like a monster and biting her all over until she can´t stop laughing

Wow, I started teaching my daughter to read by teaching the sounds each letter represents when she was around 2, which she learned well, but couldn´t evolve further than that because she doesn´t seem to concentrate and seems to ignore what I´m teaching, although I try to present it in a funny way...now she´s 43 months old and It seems from your posts that either I am doing something wrong or my daughter just isn´t prepared yet...

The problem is I present several words like mama, papa, and others, but she apparently refuses to recognize them when I ask "what´s written here?"...
