1  BrillKids Software / Little Musician - General Discussion / Re: LITTLE MUSICIAN - BETA TESTING - SIGN-UP on: August 29, 2011, 06:55:36 AM
Hi,

I played the flute and sang in choir.  My husband is a musician.  He plays piano, keyboards, drums, guitar, accordion, and mandolin.  He started on the accordion at age 6, and has been playing for over 30 years.  He has 25 years of experience playing piano and keyboards.  He's played for bands, and choirs, and worship teams for different churches.  He writes songs and has an album out with a hit single.  He is currently working with our daughter, teaching her piano, notes, and giving her voice lessons.  They are actually working on a song for his new album.  My husband is also starting our baby (son) with music lessons. 

I'm thrilled that you have the little musician.
We'd love to be a candidate for the LMs BETA testing.
2  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child Math / Can a four year old learn math the doman way? on: November 18, 2009, 05:33:16 AM
I'm not too familiar with the math.  I started teaching my daughter how to read when she was 1 and a half.  Now I'm regretting not starting the math with her then.  I didn't have much info on the doman math program.  Anyone know if it's too late for a 4 year old to learn math with the dots?
3  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child - Signing, Speaking, Languages / Re: Learning 2 languages on: October 23, 2008, 12:49:35 AM
I speak 2 languages, but since I was raised in America, my English is much better than Romanian.  My husband and I always speak in English, and though I would teach her certain words and phrases in Romanian, she is much more fluent in English.  Once I realized we spoke more English than Romanian, I started focusing on repeating everything I say in Romanian also.  This didn't confuse her, and I'd like to say we are making progress.  She's still much more fluent in English, but I feel she also is understanding Romanian more.  My mistake was not being aware how important it is for us as a family to speak more Romanian.  They learn from what they hear around them... and not just what we teach them one on one...  I also noticed she learns much faster when she watches videos, or goes through these multi media files.  She loves to watch home videos of our family... and remembers alot from those videos. 

Oh another thing, there are a few words she speaks with my husband's Romanian accent.  It's kind of funny, (and I think it's cute  smile ) but since I don't have an accent, I do have her say them in syllables to help her say them more correctly.
4  BrillKids Software / Little Reader - General Discussion / Re: Little Reader Testimonials (Please claim!) on: October 22, 2008, 07:07:54 PM
I love this program!!! It's such a wonderful tool to use in teaching my daughter to read.  She is now almost 3 years old and this is a game to her.  She wants to go through the lessons over and over again.  I found that she is not just learning to read, but also learning what certain words mean, which she wouldn't if we weren't going through these lessons.  I am thrilled that you have the music notes and numbers also.

6  BrillKids Software / Little Reader - General Discussion / Re: Attention All Beta Testers - Extend your Little Reader License! on: June 27, 2008, 05:29:47 PM
Hi, I need a license key.  My daughter is 2 and a half and loves this program!
I am Romanian, and I can't wait to learn how to make my own, so I can also teach her Romanian.  I was so excited I told my sister about it, and she also is trying it out with her son.  She is also excited about being able to custumize it, to teach Romanian.  This program is awesome!
7  EARLY LEARNING / Early Learning - General Discussions / Re: Sign Language, Reading, Math, Anyone? on: June 11, 2008, 10:21:46 PM
I just called my sister after I posted about her eldest son.  She actually has 2 sons, but I couldn't remember if she started her youngest son reading early.  She said they were moving at the time, and didn't teach her younger son to read until he was 4.  She said there's a huge difference between the two boys.  The younger one struggles alot more.  He struggles with reading and writing.  And she spends more time with him on his homework.
8  EARLY LEARNING / Early Learning - General Discussions / Re: Sign Language, Reading, Math, Anyone? on: June 11, 2008, 09:10:51 PM
My sister taught her son how to read when he was 3 years old. 
He is now 13 years old, and very much ahead of most kids his age.
He is in a Senior level math class.  His teacher said he's a genius at math.
He takes piano lessons, and practices some 2 hours a day. 
His parents do have to keep on top of it, and make sure he does his homework, and practice his piano.  But he is also driven to do well, and complete his assignments.  There was a program, that would take younger kids into college, if they passed the college exam:
He really wanted to get in, and skip from 8th grade, straight to college.  He wants to be a doctor.  He took the test, but didn't pass it.  He will try again next year.  What surprised me was that it was his idea.  He wanted to go to college.  He was driven to study for the exam.  His mom wasn't sure about it at first, but since he wanted it so badly, she let him try.
9  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child to Read / Re: Teaching your child to read - SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE! on: June 11, 2008, 08:51:39 PM
My sister had come across Glenn Doman books, and she taught her son how to read when he was 3 years old.  She passed the books on to me, and I started teaching my baby how to read when she was about 18 months old, with flash cards.  I would show her the cards during the day, but she didn't read them for me at first.  A few weeks later, when her daddy came home, she grabbed her cards, and took them to him and read her first word, baby.  After that she'd read for her daddy, kinda to show off I guess.  She started to read for me to, but she wasn't always interested, so I put them away and didn't want to push her.  After awhile, she started loving them.  She'd ask me to read to her.  I found the YBCR DVD's and purchased them.  Kinda pricey to buy them all at once, but it was a good investment.  She loves those videos.  She would beg me to play them for her.  I am constantly amazed at how many words she knows... She often learns words that I missed, or didn't notice in the video, and when I'd make up a new flash card, she'd already know it.  She can now read aproximately 100 words.  And she knows the meaning of them, because she either learned from the YBCR DVD's, or this program... or even you tube has some flash cards with the words, that I've played for her.

When she first started reading, I started telling everyone, I was so excited.  My family all are thrilled.  My in laws think she is a genius, even though my husband keeps telling them that all babies can learn if they are given the opportunity.  Soon, I learned that not everyone was thrilled when I'd share my story.  Not everyone wanted to hear about how well my daughter was doing! (duh!) I assumed that people would like to hear, because maybe they didn't know about the programs out there, and that it only takes a few minutes a day.  (I wish I would've realized that I could have started earlier.)  Some of our friends were annoyed when we'd mention our daughter can read.  When I talked it over with my sister she said people were the same with her also when she'd tell them her son was reading.  So, now I don't share with just anyone.  If I bring it up, I try to be more sensitive, I talk about the programs out there, and the fact that babies can read to see if they are interested.  If they are I'll share my information, if not I'll let it go.  I'm proud of my daughter, but I guess I'll take my bragging to my family and my scrapbooks.  smile

12  Parents' Lounge / Introduce Yourself / Hi, I'm new here... on: June 11, 2008, 05:16:05 AM
Hi, I'm new here.  I love this program.  I actually started teaching my daughter to read when she was about 1 and a half years old.  She is now 2 and a half and she could read about 100 words, but I have been kinda slacking... so this program is a great tool for me.  She loves it!  I can't wait to see the music and math programs.
