Rt. now thay have a very good deal on the hooked on phonics for babies.  It looks like more stimulation stuff then actual reading, has anyone tried this program...do you like it and how does it compare to the doman method???

Quick question, I have an 8 month old, I have been doing the doman method supplementing with LR since 3 months old....at what age should he be recognizing these words?  How long did it take for your babies to show you they know the words?

We do not plan on doing "Santa" with our children.  We plan to say he is just a character, like mickey mouse. When my husband's parents told him Santa was not real, his first response, was "what else are you lying to me about?"  I realize it is harmless....but I rather focus on the real reason for Christmas.

Ok my LO is 7 months old, we have been doing the doman method with flash cards since he was 3 months old.  He loved it and would go nuts everytime the words came out.  Just this week he has completely lost interest...turning his head away from the words...I don't want to force him so I put the words away.  Has this happened with anyone else and when did you reintroduce the flashcards again?  He is not teething, he seems very happy otherwise...just no interest in it.

Hello, I have a 3 month old baby and I am interested in maximizing his learning potential.  I have downloaded the infant stimulation cards,  I will start them today with my LO.  When do you start other flashcards, is there some kind of time frame to follow??  I would appreciate any guidance you can offer.
