My grandson did YBCR and his parents are enthusiastic about it. We bought the program used and the flashcards separately. I also made some words with a red marker. He did YBCR starting at 2 months and the Doman dots starting at 4 months. He also did flashcards with music composers and geography. He picked up on the reading, and was reading HOP ON POP by age 2 and 2 months. Since his first language is German,he seemed to have no problem teaching himself to read German. By age 2 and a half. He could sound out words like the planets on a picture of the solar system. He could read little articles from the German newspaper. He also goes to Japanese school, so I hope that he will read Japanese too. He knows the names of the Japanese provinces. He loves music, and watches various clips from youtube of violins, cellos, harps, organs, etc. mostly classical music. To watch him on Youtube, search in Youtube for Cederic conducts Carmen, and you can see him conducting the Opera Carmen. Then if you go to ALL videos, you can see him reading in his second language, English, and singing in his third language, Japanese. I don't understand how YBCR would have a negative effect. I obviously have a lot to learn about early learning.
