So it sounds like little math will be a good investment then
Thanks everyone

My daughter is 11months...so u dont think that that is too old to learn?

I think we started when our daughter was a couple of weeks old. Just giving her a tiny bit of supervised time on her tummy then giving her longer periods as she got older. Most of the time she would only tolerate a few minutes before getting upset. In fact my daughter never really liked tummy time and started crawling from a sitting up position and then went onto her hands.
I dont think it is ever to early for signing with your baby, in fact the earlier the better. I dont know about signing dvds...you might need to wait a bit for them as your child wont be able to concentrate on them.
Hope i was some help

Thanks everyone,
All your information was helpful. I just wanted to see what people thought as it is always good to make an informed decision when starting something.
Once again thanks

I was the same way, I read to my baby all the time but didn't realize he could learn to read so young. I saw the Your Baby Can Read! infomercial about 4-5 months ago, and it has opened a whole new world to me with infant development. We love YBCR because it explains the meaning behind the words. My child's understanding and vocabulary has increased dramatically. He started when he was 14 months old, and it took a few months before he actually showed me that he could read some words. I remember the first word he read was "hi" which is also the first word on YBCR videos. He just woke up from a nap and I came in his room to get him and he was saying "hi! hi! hi!" (He had never used this word before this) and he was pointing to the floor, and there low and behold the "hi" flashcard was there and he was pointing to it.  I was just so proud of him! What a special moment. Just make sure you stick with it and keep working, it is amazing! Today my child (18 months)read the word "baby" on a generic baby shampoo bottle (no pictures of a baby on the bottle) - It was his first time reading a word on an object or something different than his flashcards/Computer or DVD program  .  After using YBCR for a while I stumbled upon this site and have absolutely loved hearing what other mothers are doing and feeling that there is some support out there.  We love using the little reader for doing custom words like Mommy, Daddy, etc.  Good luck!!

I also saw the your baby can read advertised in a magazine but that was only a week ago. Since then i have visited their website and this one and decided that i would give teaching her to read a go. Thank you for your input Its great to be able to talk to real people and their experiences. I will definitely stick with it. Its only been a couple of days and my daughter already loves it. Every time she sees the flash cards and slideshows she gets very excited. Im hoping it might help my daughter to speak as she hasnt really said anything clear yet apart from a bit of babbling. She had pneumonia when she was younger which took her back a bit in her development.
Look forward to hearing more from you and other parents. Thanks for your time.

Thanks jemjem,
I have just been doing reading lessons 3x a day depending on my 11mths mood as she hasnt been sleeping well lately and has a molar coming through which is painful
I will start her on maths also 3x a day. It is easy for me as i am stay at home mum. How have u found LR and LM? Has your son learned anything? When is a good time to test them? eg how long after you start?
Sorry about all the questions, still very new at this.

Thanks Tatiana,
I have been considering home schooling my daughter myself as i am a stay at home mum and am currently doing a foundation course at uni to get into early childhood education.
Your information was very helpful.
Thanks

Sorry i forgot to ask if any other stay at home mums have any tips for organising sleeps and feeds around learning. When the best time is to teach them eg. straight after a sleep when they are fresh or during a feed.  Sorry for all the questions but just want to be as informed as i can so i can give my daughter the best start to life.

Ok i know this may be a stupid question but will our children be getting an information overload if we try to teach them reading, maths, and music...plus another language. I read on here that a lot of people are doing it but what is the best way to go about it. How many sessions of each thing a day and when is the best time to do it? My daughter is 11 months old. Is that too young for some of it?
I really want to teach her as much as she can and wants (i dont wanna be a pushy parent) but i just cant comprehend how to do all this.
I would really appreciate some advice.
Thanks

It still impresses me, the sight of such young children reading. I cant believe that my child will ever be that good. I am so disorganized that i will have to start up a schedule for myself so that i can fit everything in. well done

Does anyone know how young children can see things this way? To me it just boggles the mind 

Hi i was just wondering if you teach math and reading at the same time and if so how many lessons of each should you do a day so that the child doesnt get bored?
Thanks

Hi all,

Im new at teaching my child to read...i have been reading books to her from birth but didnt know that they could actually read so young. I was just wondering how long it takes to actually see any results? And how do u know if u are doing it right? I sit my daughter in her high chair in front of the lap top 3 times a day and show her flashcard slideshows and she seems interested. She gets very excited when i turn the computer on :P. Also does anyone have any idea if flicking through flashcards very fast actually works? I am very interested in other peoples stories.

Thanks

I know what u mean about feeling bad with them watching tv but if its educational and they get plenty of exercise it shouldnt be a problem.

I already play guitar and keyboard to my baby but little musician would help me know how best to teach my daughter.
