Well, the read v fast and flip to next page, is similar to \"right-brain\" training. It develops the child's photographic memory?


I also use that way, but with baby, only need to do a little each day (2mins to 5mins max each day). I didn't do with the other kids.

oic.... now i know where the photographic memory comes from. For one moment, I thought it was my genes....

Oi, 9 mths, cannot be right brain training lah. Must be genes! This is my theory cos that, what's his name, Sakamoto or some Japanese flip method? That one. Start at birth right? But how come no one else can read at 9 mths?

(Sorry, I never believed in right or left brain training cos I only got one brain :)).

Plenty lah - go see youtube, have babies that can recognise words & by 1+ year old or 2yo when they are verbal, you can see them reading out loud. I loosely follow Dolman, but didn't buy their kit. just read their book. Quite simple method.

We didn't use this with our older kids. So busy when you have several kids 2 or 3 years apart. In fact, my elder boys couldn't read when they started p1 altho' my eldest girl read at 4years old.

So no geniuses in our family (or ancestors). Cannot be genes only.

What is Dolman har?[/quote]Glen Doman? The one that say \"teach your baby to read\"? I'd never had the time before to read it. But these days with the internet, just skim thru. Like you, I like reading lots of journals & articles online, which is roughly what I do when I'm stuck nursing baby and want to catch up . haha.

O the IAHP folks. I visited them at Philadelphia once. I didn't know they were training the right brain

For my first boy, I followed the put him on the front when he sleeps. Well, he learnt to crawl at 3 months old. But then, I read some more stories about babies dying in their sleep, and mostly because of this posture, so I didn't do the same for the rest of the kids.

I still have lots of those flash cards. I bought tons there. The maths ones, the english ones etc etc. But never used them on any other kids except the first. No time lah.

I don't even know it works. Maybe it does... aiyah, too late now, like I always tell my kids, I'm a lousy mother... got things also don't use...

I think you mean Shicida.

Methods do not maketh a genius.

Geniuses are brought to surface with the methods

So that explains why no reported case of reading at 9 months?

Oh oops yah. Shicida. I think I read the math thread and got confused with Sakamoto Math. :oops:

What you say could be true, ks2me. The geniuses could just be uncovered, which is why the percentage of geniuses in the population remains roughly the same even with these new methods.

I'm all for early stimulation/reading though. Not sure about flashcards, but reading is the best. Cos later on when the kids can read on their own, they leave you alone to do your own thing!!

bc, 2ppaamm, dun have time when all the kids are more or less close together in age gap, right? My youngest has 10 year age gap, so have a little more \"time\", in a way. Older and more experienced in a way too.

Yalor, 5 kids in 9 years. In that 9 years, I was busy doing making things happen for 5 kids while you can focus on one. Lucky child of yours. Wished I can spend more time on each, especially the last. In my case, 1st child benefits the most, in your case, your last child I guess. Mummy more experienced, also more time.
