Baby Math Genius

This child (13 months old) is two weeks into their math program, and the parents recorded Anthony's first "test". He knew the true number of dots without counting.

His parents used right-brain training methods developed by Glenn Doman.

The Eyes Have It - How children learn to read minds.

If you pause the vid at 38/39 seconds and again at 47/48 seconds you can see Anthony reading gestural cues. Anthony doesn't look at either card prior to checking the adults gaze and then immediately chooses the correct card.

Humans are social animals and our evolution has developed the ability to deduce what another person might be thinking and to predict behaviour based on that deduction.  Infants pick up non-verbal signals well before they learn to speak.

   From around four months, babies learn to look at other people’s eyes to figure out intentions. Even at two months of age, infants look longer at eyes than at any other part of a face. Experiments have shown that  eight- and-nine month-olds look automatically at an adults eyes if an action was ambiguous-for example, if the experimenter offered a toy but pulled it back, or placed a toy in front of the infant but then placed a hand over it. Eyes communicate both by the direction in which they look and by revealing emotional states.

   From about the end of the first year of life, babies learn to infer from the direction of an adult’s gaze what an adult is looking at or thinking about.

Cool.  I have a 14 mo old and we are on day 2.  It is pretty hard to get him to look at the dots, but I try to go pretty fast.  I do 2 sets of 5, 3 times a day.  I am on #1-10, but I don't know when to start retiring cards.  I will figure that part out today.

I am using Domanmom's powerpoint red dots from her website.  She has them posted for everyone for free.

check out this website for already made math equations for doman math.  I found it very helpful as this program is quite time consuming.

I started my 16 month old daughter on this math program just recently, but she really doesn´t enjoy it.  As soon she sees me getting the cards she says "no"!  and runs away.  The same with the powerpoint presentations.  I am all out of ideas.  I try to do it in a fun way, but she isn´t interested.  I´m not sure if she even looks at the cards.  Every time I play peek a boo with her, I poke my head out and she is still looking right at me...  Who knows... I will try it for a little longer and we will see how it goes. 
I did the Your Baby Can Read program with her and she can read around 100 words, but has also gone off reading too.  I have stopped showing her cards for a while to see if she will be excited again once we start up again.

try this, then click on free resources and then math.

You might find this interesting-also read page 141 of his book. Looking forward to your comments.

Very interesting Chris1,
I put the book on hold at the library.  I'd like to hear what you think of the first 150 pages.

[Chris1]

Hi THen,    Sorry for the late response-

I have only read Daniel’s earlier book which provided an interesting insight into his mind. Have you collected his latest book from the library yet?

Chris.

I just got it yesterday, but haven't had time to even open the book.  I hope to dive in to it soon.

I am unable to find the material from the website. Seems its no longer there.
Can someone help me with the material.

Thanks

Of course I'm now after 4 children later finding out what little ones CAN do.
So I'm guessing this form of math my 4yr old won't be able to learn then?
If so how disappointing. 
Does Little Math go by the Doman method?
