So I am freaking out about time. I want my children to have good start on education. I want them to learn reading, math, science, perfect pitch as well as learn spanish and chinese. I do some flashcards. I use ybcr, little pim, baby learns chinese among other things, but I feel like the schedule is crazy for a 20 month and a 9 month old. What is normal. Should I do certain things everyday and others a couple times a week? I am lost. Also could someone help me with what to use for science and perfect pitch, because I am having trouble there. Thanks so much.

Hi I have a question... I had a coupon for the Little Reader Home Basic that was paid t me but not used and was wondering if that applies to the current program. I am guessing no, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

Thank you

Both of my children 19 and 7 months are watching ybcr and little pim in chinese and spanish. I tried Tweedle Wink but they seemed bored. I want to expand our horizons. Please help me gather information on what the best products are... thanks.

I also am having trouble finding the correct buttons to turn my playlist into a dvd that I can play on the tv. The help instructions say to click on the PlayBack button and then Create Video, except I don't see the Create Video button. Am I just missing something?

I have been looking at little reader and and have some questions. First of all can I have the pointer move on it's own under the words? Secondly, how do I view the chinese characters? If you have any tips please let me know.

Thank you,

Bettina

I live in the US and I want to focus on teaching my children Chinese and Spanish. Chinese more for educational reasons and Spanish for more practical reasons. I have taken 2 years of Chinese with my Biology degree and think it is a great tool for the future. I don't know Spanish, but you almost need it here. So many Mexicans have come to the US and many don't know English. I think it will be practical in the future. Much like French is in Canada. My husband is going to learn Spanish and I am going to continue Chinese and we are going to teach both to our son and any future children. I also want my family to learn sign language, at least enough to be able to comunicate on a basic level with the hearing impaired. So few people know sign language without either being impaired or knowing someone who is. I think it would be a neat thing to know. Personally I would love my children to know as many languages as they can but I want to focus on other things too, like science, art, history and the like. I spent some time in Russia and have a small grasp of that lanugage, but I don't think that Russian is as essential to an American as Chinese and Spanish, but maybe in the future we will learn that as a family.

Tiangm,

Where can I currently buy this program at?

Well, thanks for all of the advice. I still feel awed but I guess that is to be expected, I am raising a human! I do have a question about the baby brain flash cards. I tried to email to the address above, but it was returned. When will this be available and will it be available in Spanish at some point. If anyone knows I would love to know.

I am going to give Little Reader a try as well.

Hi,

My name is Bettina and I am new here. I have some questions and am feeling a little lost.

First of all my son was born 2 months premature. I wanted to know should I start a reading program when he turns 4 months old or should I wait until he is 6 months old, which is when he would have been 4 months old due to being premature?

I am also lost at which program to use. I understand that it is up to me and that all are beneficial, but I need some guidance. I don't know if the Flash card method, the multi-sensory method or the encyclopedia method is the way to go. I am leaning toward the multi-sensory method and the reason is I want to focus on many things such as other languages and such, but I would love feedback on all three.

With the multi-sensory method I am looking at Tweedle Winks and Your baby can Read but wonder if compared the pro's and con's of each. I also am curious if there are any other programs that could be referred, or perhaps a mix. I am right now just talking to my son and having him watch one of three baby Einstein videos a day, Baby Mozart, Baby Beethoven, and Baby Bach. I am also reading a book a day. I am rotating between the 4 books in the Click Clack Moo series. I know they are way old for him, but I love them and I think they have interesting words for babies like click, clack, moo, quack, giggle and so on.

Please help me because I don't understand where to start. I have seen things explained about the different methods, but I still don't get some of the ideas like how many cards to do a day and so on. 

On top of that I am looking for advice on how to teach other languages. Neither my husband or I speak another language fluently, but I have taken 2 years of Chinese and am continuing to learn. My husband is committed to learning Spanish. We want our son ,and future children, to be fluent in both and of course English, with both parents being fluent in English and one other language. We also want to teach sign language, but wonder if that is necessary if we are teaching him to read.

Please help!

Thank you,
Bettina
