Sandiego650,
Rest assured the Doman method works v v well. Many children on the program can read miles ahead of their age, eg 2yo can read independently, 6 yo can read at Grade 7 level etc.
But the "treasure" lies with the physical program, which develops the brain, the hardware, and make it ready to receive any software in later years. The first 3 years ie 0 - 3yo, are the most important brain development years. Make sure the baby/ child has loads of time crawling, creeping, running, walking and brachiating.
The intellectual program ie reading, math etc, are the "side effects". Lot more effective if the mother does it as it becomes a tailor made program. Key is everything is done joyously. If the child refuses any cards, stop there and then.
Warning, without the physical program, purely doing the intellectual program may lead to various development problems with the child.
Enjoy your programs.
Cemily,
are these programs we can do at home with baby? where can we buy the program materials?
thanks.
