Happy to hear your trip to the aquarium went well!  Sounds like you had a very nice time.  I'm sure it will keep a great memory to look back on.

Thanks Lori smile  It's very nice to know you can relate and you're right about children striving for praise.  It's so easy to forget that.  As mothers / parents being overwhelmed is something I'm sure we all experience.  I know if I have to raise my voice, question or think about my actions, I lost control of the situation and my family has already assumed bad energy from me.  The more I remind myself and develop good habits, the better chance I'll pass the same positive influence.

Lori, Have fun tomorrow!  And let us know all about it smile

I'm not one to tell anyone how to raise there child however I hope you gain some perspective from my personal opinion.  I don't encourage discipline however, I'm not totally against it provided age appropriate.  At 15 months, I don't believe there's much you can do accept ignore the tantrums.  Most of what a baby does is for attention and just about everything they do is for your reaction.  As parents, many focus too much on what we feel is unacceptable. To a baby, that means nothing as they're still learning both there surroundings and themselves.  Having a tantrum is most likely the easiest way your little one can express himself when he really doesn't like something.  My daughter very rarely has tantrums but if she does, I just walk away from her.  She also likes to spit during meal times with food in her mouth.  (It drives me crazy) and I know she does it to get a reaction out of me.  So every time she spits, I get up and walk away until she stops. Sometimes she starts to cry because she doesn't like that I walked away.  When she cries, I go back and she immediately stops forgetting why I walked away and goes back to feeding normally.  If she starts to spit again, I repeat the same steps over.  I've done this often enough that she's beginning to notice my reaction.  She still spits on occasion as she'll fix her face to spit out of habit.  However, as soon as I put the spoon down, she knows I'm going to walk away, corrects herself and instead smiles at me.  This may be considered discipline as I don't allow my daughter to spit in my face nor do I watch her entertain me with negative behavior.  I instead show her by my actions as does she what's pleasing to me and what's not.  We're "both" learning about each other and it's important it goes both ways.  I'm sure your little one wants to see your smile just as much as you want to see his. I recommend learning more about your baby with positive reinforcement for all good things.  This way when he does something you don't like, he'll begin to notice a different reaction.  I believe it's more important not to demonstrate too much negativity during such an early stage of development as babies will only repeat your actions.   I think your right for telling him "no" but I'd follow the gesture by directing his attention else where or walking away depending on what he's doing.  Teaching right from wrong and discipline (if "you" choose) will develop in it's own time.  I see nothing wrong with it provided you're not abusing it or your child.  Discipline doesn't always mean hitting or time outs.  Correcting your child is also a form of discipline and I strongly recommend it with positive reinforcement. 

Good Luck to you!

I just thought of a creative idea you may want to try.  How bout writing the words in permanent marker on balloons? They're typically pretty entertaining for the little ones.  It could also be very useful for introducing colors.

Have fun!   smile

Hi floyd_941,

It's really tuff transitioning from the bassient to the crib.  My daughter was just over 5lbs at birth so I was able to keep her in the bassinet for several months.  I too went through many emotional nights listening to her cry but it's healthy as long as there's no sign of distress. The cries will continue until your little one adjusts to the surroundings but the length of time will grow shorter and eventually stop.  My daughter cried every night for a good 2 weeks which seemed like an eternity.  I tried both music and nature sounds which didn't work however the sound of static (white noise) calmed her down.  If you haven't tried music or natures sounds I'd start there but if you've done this and it's not working...  I recommend the white noise.  Here's a link where you can purchase a CD or download at www.babywhitenoise.com.   Try putting your baby down for short naps in the crib so the smell is more fimilar.  Also if you've reached the point where you feel you absolutely must calm your baby down, try just rubbing or patting the back while your baby is still lying in the crib.  This will reassure your little one saftey and comfort without interupting the transistion to the crib.

Hope this helps.. Good Luck! smile

I can not stress enough how NECESSARY it is, parents / guardians at least sample the FREE downloads of LR.
My daughter was instantly intrigued by the Power Point Flash Cards and mastered identifying every word with in only 3 weeks.  I was not prepared for such rapid results as her progress has been extraordinary.  She's unable to verbalize words just yet as she's just a year old.  However thanks to LR, our family has been exposed to brilliance beyond belief!  My daughter can identify ANY word from the dictionary including words I'm unable to define.  Though no child is the same and each progress may vary; I urge readers to please show someone, tell someone, test the program, FIND OUT what these little minds our capable of.  There is no way my child could have memorized words she's never seen  from the dictionary. I can't speak on everyone's behalf but my child is NOT memorizing.  Little Reader has introduced her to something special and has proven ENDLESS possibilities! 

To the creators of Little Reader.. I can't even begin to express my gratitude.  THANK YOU.

Thank you so much for the link 2010BEBES! Sounds like you've been very busy.  Your grandson is lucky to have you.  I'm sure you'll LOVE LR and I'll look forward to hearing your thoughts once you purchase the program. 

Take care smile

Ok now I'm convinced I need to see a professional.  My daughter has mastered identifying ALL the fruits, vegetables, natures, animals and colors of Little Reader after only 3 weeks.
10  EARLY LEARNING / Early Learning - General Discussions / Re: Your little readers.. on: June 08, 2009, 08:50:57 PM
Thank you all for the great advice and positive feed back.  I truly appreciate it and will definitely consult some professionals.
Music is definitely my next introduction.  I've downloaded a few classic instrumentals along with nursery rymes.  She already LOVES them.  I wish I would have started this sooner.  However she's proven to me that it's never too late.

I'll work on posting a video this weekend.

Thanks again!

Maybe you're right fatima786.  Thank You.  I never thought of it that way. 

I'll get a video to post ASAP (once I learn how to download it to the forum.)  I'm still trying to learn this website.  I'll try record her sometime this week so if you think of any words you want me to try.. let me know. I'll run them by her so you too or anyone else can see for yourself.  She continues to amaze me everyday!

yqueen,
Definitely your little girl is something special. She has a gift not easy to find. I have some questions.
Is she your only child? If not, what are her brothers age.
Have you been using any other technique maybe not on purpose but that brought that result. Do you read her books?
Is she going to nursery or preschool?
What about languages. What is your native language and is she listening to another.
Where are you from and where do you live?
[/quote]

Hi 2010BEBES,

She's my only child.  I've always sang nursery rymes to her but just recently as of about maybe 2 months ago started reading her books.
No other languages or preschool.  Grandparents assume the roll of childcare.  English is our only language.  The Noggin Channel such as: Dora The Explorer, Deigo, & Ni Hao Kilan is her only exposure to other languages.  We're from Pennsylvania. 

Where are you from?  Have you had this happen or seen anything like this before?  I continue to challange her so I don't loose whatever this is.  But I find myself holding back sometimes because I don't want to rob her of natural play time.  She's been a very attentive observer from birth and I'm not sure how to handle her progress. I plan to ask our pediatrician for advice at her next examination.

 Well.. we just had a visit with some family and friends who of course.. were just as curious and skeptical as I was. I could tell they "wanted" to believe me but needed to see for themselves.  I don't know if I can call it reading until she starts verbalizing so I'm gonna stick with (word identification) for now.  I wrote all of there names in black marker on paper.  I also had them pick random words of there own.  I was so proud to see her choose each word/name correct and effortlessly.  We later tried objects as I've only used words on paper.  I wasn't  confident she could identify an object without seeing the word.  I'd completely neglected to teach her objects and forgot how important that was.  I knew this would be her greatest challange.  I was wrong.  Hat, knife, fork, glass, keys, pillow, ring, plate, bowel.  She identified each of them with a huge smile on her face.  It was a like a fun game to her.  I am TOO impressed and can not explain how she can do this?  I'll have to do some reseach. 

Thanks for reading.

Confused mommy...

Hello Everyone,
 
I'm pretty new to the program and this is my 1st poll.
I've only had Little Reader for about 2-3 weeks.  I haven't had the time to use it every day nor as often as I would like with my little girl.  However.. to my surprise. She can read ANYTHING including words we've never practiced and words she's never seen.  I was very skeptical at 1st thinking it could only be a coincidence. She'll be 1 yrs old next week and can identify even the longest most complex words found in the dictionary. Words I haven't even seen myself.  Is this normal after such a short period of time with flash card stimulation?  I've tried tricking her with words that look the same such as money / monkey.  However, she can still identify the correct word.  When in the grocery store.. I pick items with several words on one package to test her abilities and she's mastered every attempt.  Please let enlighten me on any similar experiences.

Thanks~

Londa~ blush
