How to Teach Your Child Physical Superbness

[Ayesha Nicole]

Dear All,

I just began reading Mr. Doman's How to Teach Your Baby to be Physically Superb and it is so insightful. 

And so are the following resources:

Hi Ayesha Nicole!  I'm sure it is!
Some weeks ago i was planning order it trough Amazon. I think i'll purchase tomorrow

So what passages have you find very insightful Ayesha? I would like a sneak peak 

Sebastián,

Ayesha,
I have enjoyed reading your other posts.  Anyway, I bought an older version Physically Superbness, and I am concerned about having our week old sleep on her belly or back.  I was wondering if an updated version still suggests having them sleep on thier belly in the crawl track.
Thank you,
Jennifer Joy

Dear Sebastian,

Sorry for the late reply.  I am now on Chapter 12 - Stage IV, The Initial Cortex (walking stage).

I had to look back at your post to see what age your baby is - about 6 1/2 months, yes?  The book would be great for you and Yamila to help Matheo learn to crawl (moving on his belly), creeping (purposeful moving on his handes and knees), to walking, and so forth.  

The book is an easy read with several pictures and an nice Mobility Development Scale developed by IAHP.  I would say - order the book now! and read and implement everything as soon as possible.  By the way, the descriptions sound more difficult than they are - it really takes only a few minutes daily of purposeful playing to help your baby be pysically superb!  

I wish I had this book before my girls were born.  They are twins and needed physical therapy as a preventive measure to make sure that they were not too far behind on certain milestones.  They basically gave me the same type of exercises to perform with the Sarah & Salma - but IAHP's is better because it explains why and how to help your child.

Enjoy!

P.S.  Dear Jennifer Joy - Thank you.  And I have enjoyed the research and sharing process.  The printed version I have is from Square One Publishers, New York and the copyright date is 2006.  I left a message for Mrs. Gwenne Sulby at IAHP to clarify this point - because I believe the concern/issue of SIDS is better explained in another book How Smart is Your Baby - that I have not read.  I will post with her answer soon after I speak with her for clarication.

Dear Jennifer Joy,

While waiting to hear from Mrs. Gwenne, about tummy sleeping and SIDS, I found the following discussion online:

Dear All,

As I am reading through How to Teach Your Baby to Be Physically Superb, I want to start the girls with hanging from a dowel/rod.

Do you think this contraption would work until we can build one?:

Thanks.

Hmmm, Ayesha, I'm not quite sure.

My husband built our brachiation ladder and we keep it in the garage. It didn't cost very much to built, a half day and about $150 in materials. It took much longer to paint.

If you don't want a full-blown brachiation ladder, I think I might go for a trapeze...Doman talks about the swinging trapeze and how fun it is...

I don't see why the perfect pull-up thing wouldn't work, but it seems that all the kid can do is hang, which would be boring after awhile.

Ayesha,

We made a dowel for my son to swing on.  He likes it some at 2 years old.

Ayesha,
Thank you so much for the insight on teaching your child to be physically superb. I'm late getting started on this but I was wondering if you had finished the book what were the s that you got out of the book and if you could share with us any of the positive things you saw in your daughters....

Thank you so much for your help
