Thanks for your suggestion PY and your good wishes. Finally we the crawling track has already been given through our freecycle local group.

Hi,

We are moving back to Spain, so we offer the crawling track that we built for our son for free to whoever is interested on it. The only thing is that you must come and pick it up. We can not mail it (it is too big). We live in New Jersey, USA in the zip code 08540.

The crawling track was designed according to the instructions given by Doman inhis book "How to teach your baby to be physically superb"

Thanks !

Hi,

I am also a native Spanish speaker from Valencia. I am using LR for teaching my baby to read and I have translated some of LR curriculum to Spanish (I started to do that with Joha). I will be glad to help with the translation.

Best,

Hi to all !

There is a great animation serie called "Once Upon a Time... the man " (Erase una vez el hombre) that explains the history of humakind since Prehistory up to now (and even the future). It comprises the Greeks, the Romans, the Discovery of America...

I saw the cartoon when I was a kid and I just loved it. It was done in 1978 by a French company in co-production from other companies of all around the world (mainly public TVs such as Television Española).

It is not for  anybody who starts with Spanish but for somebody who has some level.

A link to all the chapters is:

A general introduction in English to it is:

Even if you do not speak Spanish, you should watch the opening. It summarizes in jus 1:30 minutes our History and the evolution. Amazing !

Really ... do not miss it !

Enjoy !!!

Hi to all !

I started right from birth showing our baby black dot cards as suggested in Doman's book related to Teaching Math. At the beginning my family was quite skeptical and the baby was not paying too much attention, but after some days he started to enjoy and focus in the cards.
Now he is 4 and a half months old and I have already moved to the red dot cards. It is much harder to get his attention because he is moving all the time.
I tried the crawling track, but it was really hard and did not work. The baby slept most of the time and when he was awake he was mainly eating. Therefore, when I put him in the crwling track he started to cry or to split out the milk he had just eaten... 

Thank you Skylark and  khatty for your comments ! 
 
 

Hi IMO,

I agree with Quester. The chapter 12 of the book "How to teach your baby math" explains how to start teaching math according to the age of your baby. For Little Babies (between 7 and 12 months) they recomend :
1. Keep every session very brief
2. Have sessions often
because the movility of the bay is expanding everyday and they are not sedentary any more

The book works with flashcards with dots, but you can apply the same prionciples with little reader. For me the key question is ...are they able to properly see the screen of the computer when they are so young ?

Hope it helps !

Thnak you for your ideas laughingwater !

Thank you Krista !
Did your kids enyoy them? (mine is only 5 weeks old and I will start with the Dictionaries in one or two months). Did you notice if they did learn with them ? Did you alway show the 20 times with the same language or did you play the same categories but with different languages?

Thank you again,

NaPa

Hi to everybody !

I have purchased two of the picture dictionaries done by Glen Doman's Intitute but I did not find any comment inside about how to use them. Of course, it is explained how the software works, but not how often the dictionaries should be used, how many words should be taught in a session and so on ? 
Could anyone provide any help or tell his/her experience ? Thank you !!!

Hi to everybody,

I uploaded last wek a file containing the sounds of the numbers 1 to 100 in Spanish. I made a mistake with one of the numbers (I think it was number 2). I have edited the file and uploaded again to the corresponding forum area.

Sorry for the inconvenience !

Hope it helps,

Hi !

Our baby is due for the beginning of November.  We are working also a little bit on the German lessons but now the French and Spanish ones are the priority. Concerning the German you must take into account that Swiss German can be  really very different to Standard German.

Have a nice week too !

Be in touch !

Napa

I completely agree with you, but I am an engineer so I do not have any idea about phonics and I do not have too much time neither.  My wife studies Speech Therapy but she is French, so... We should also speak with the people of LR to upload our material as it is being done, so more people can take benefit of our work.

Did you make the course of Dr. Doman in Philadelphia ? Do you recomend it? We are currently living not too far away from there and we will be back in Spain in about one year, so I think it is a big opportunity to gain aditional knowledge. My wife speaks perfect German and French so we would like to teach the baby English, French, German and Spanish. We think that LR can be of great help and that Doman's course can give us some theorethical knowledge about how to do it.

Thank you for your advice !

One more question Joha...

Should we mark the syllables of the words ? I have seen that sometimes the English word has two different colors !

Hope you had a good vacation !

Napa

Hi Joha !

I have just finished with "transportation". I will try to make "Food1" and "Meal time" during the week.
I do not think I will do the Spanish Course... too much job.
We can also have a problem with our accent...your pronunciation and my pronunciation can be very different...

It is very funny to do this work.
I folowed advice 2 from KL for creating the new Category and worked perfectly ! Thank you so much KL !
