Thanks, Jill! My mom is currently visiting the US and I asked her if she can bring a laminator back for me - locally it costs over $150 and then I have to buy the printer which also is really expensive here. Hopefully she'll be able to!

It looks like we're doing things from the opposite direction! We've been using LR for the last few months and I'd like to add in physical flashcards since Yirmiyahu (19 mo) focuses much more on physical cards than the screen. (I think LR doesn't hold his focus as much because his siblings find it so interesting that they all cluster around him and he gets distracted by them and starts to look at them instead of the screen!) So far it works best for us when they aren't around, when it's the evening and I turn all the lights off - that helps him focus on the computer. That strategy makes it hard to do it more than once a day! I'm looking into buying a printer and laminator so I can make him cards to reinforce the screen time.

Hi, I had a baby a week ago who probably has Down Syndrome (still waiting for results of genetic testing to come back), and in my research to learn about what we can do to help him best develop his potential, I learned about Brillkids! Hearing about the great learning options available is very exciting and I'm looking forward to learning more.
