My two and a half year old son loves BrillKids. He wants to do it as often as possible. We are both looking forward to seeing all the new things that are coming. I am so happy to find a place that is actually doing the kind of teaching to which very small children respond. Thanks for extending my license

Hi Martina,

You know I am not sure about how to add and retire pictures and words from the CD. I only have one of those. What I would do is go online to IAHP.com and they have a toll free number to call. When you get through talk to Gwen or anyone in the store and they will help you. They are all really helpful and friendly. Gwen did a little demo of the CDs between classes when I was there. I hope this helps. Let me know how it goes. Shelly

The Doman Class taught me to make flash cards; lots and lots of flash cards. I made a lot of my own the old fashioned way out of poster board. Then I found Fandex Field Guides which usually have about 50 cards that are fastened together at one corner. I take these apart and attach them to my poster board flash cards with a glue stick. I start with about 10 cards and flash them very quickly saying the name, for example of each state, as he looks at the shape of the state. The Fandex cards are very high quality die-cuts that make it very easy to recognize the item by its shape. Now when the weather report is on he will say that is Rhode Island or Mississippi. The other day he saw the "Do not Walk red hand while we were sitting at a traffic light and he said, "That looks kind of like Michigan." The field guides have a lot of info on them so that you can add to their knowledge as they learn. Sometimes I copy the back side with my copy machine and stick it to the back. But just this week after making hundreds of cards this way I splurged and bought a laminating machine so I can just pull them apart and preserve the whole thing. I always carry several different categories with me. I take about 10 seconds to flash them and then I try to get him to do something else and then we do it again after a few minutes. The Domans say that a good session is short and you leave them wanting more. Don't try to do it too long. Just a few seconds and then they always want to do it. Sitting in a waiting room, or standing in line at the grocery store have been wonderful times. Initially, however, you want the atmosphere very quiet without disturbances like TV or radio, or toys. This is actually always best. But after your child gets used to doing cards, they will rivet their attention on them. Just keep it short. If they do get distracted just say, "Are you all done with your cards"? Then my son will either say, "all done", or "do cards please".  When you first start a new category do it about 5 times a day at about 10 seconds each, going very rapidly. Little children will get the details in less than a second. Don't be tempted to go slowly. They will be bored.

Hi, I attended the class at Glenn Doman's Institute for the Achievement of Human Potential almost two years ago. The class was a 7 day course covering basically all of his books.  I am really glad that I went. They have a very interesting concept that has been developed after working for decades with brain injured children. They have had great success, and still do, with these children. So they began applying these techniques with children without brain injuries. I have been using many of their methods with my two and half year old son and while there are some things that I don't implement, I have been quite pleased with the progress my son has made. He has memorized and can identify 50 different kinds of trees by their leaves and bark, all the presidents of the US. The entire periodic table of elements, 50 different breeds of dogs, 50 different wonders of the world, all the countries of South America and the list goes on. I taught him before he was 6 months old all the sounds of the alphabet. We have had so much fun teaching him and he is having a blast learning.
