rizzydizzy, LM Stands for Little Math, the math program that Brillkids sells.
I have an almost 17 month old daughter. I started using Glen Doman's flashcard method with my own handmade flashcards just before her first birthday. I started the math when she was 15 months. She gets bored of both so I tend to do reading at one sitting and math at the next. In a day I would do about 4-5 reading sessions and 4-5 math sessions, alternating between the 2. It isn't an exact science for us!
I try to remember Glen Doman's advice of keeping it short and always stopping before she wants to stop. So, somedays that means I only flash 1 or 2 words at one sitting, but the next day I might flash 7 or 8. It all depends on the day.
I also purchased the YBCR (Your Baby Can Read) from the
www.yourbabycanread.com website. It has DVD's, book, sliding cards, and flashcards. I use it in conjunction with all my homemade cards. Right now dd is really into the sliding cards. I like the program because it keeps me motivated to continue teaching her.
Now that I discovered this website I have also been downloading the powerpoint slideshows and showing them to her. Her attention seems to be held by the slideshows that closely match Glen Doman's flashcards.
My dd is crazy about books, and she insists I read to her all day every day, so we also spend a lot of time reading/looking at childrens books.
It does seem like a lot in a day, but the flash cards (words or dots) happen very very quickly, so it really doesn't take that much.
I have Glen Doman's saying attached on a sticky to my bedroom door:
"...this is one game you will win to some degree no matter how badly you play it..."
I love that quote. It reminds me that even if I am not exactly following the book or programs every little bit of stimulation I provide is helping
Good Luck.
