      You can try to let your gal sits in baby chair, and flash the cards. that way, she sits in and looks at u instead of crawling all over the shop.


      as for book, I usually hold my boy firmly and show him the book. after 10 secs, he will try to crawl out though. so I try to let him concentrate for that 10 secs, and then try again.

        I think I used the Bumbo chair when DS is young. He loves to take my flash cards first but I told him I will give him the flash cards after I flash to him and he have to be patient. He seems okay with the compromise.

          Now, I usually let her sit on a chair and then flash cards to her but sometimes, instead of looking at the flash cards, she will look at other things. I am wondering does it help her?

          As for books, I will put her on my lap and read the book to her but she always wants to flip the pages by herself so usually can read one or two pages per day.

              When my kids were younger, I used flashcards and to get their attention, I would tell them short stories. Had to be creative, because it is easy to run out of stories after a while

                Dear parents,


                It will be great if could find the interest of your child instead of just using flash cards.

                Use different tasks or toys to teach your child new words and even bring him/her out to explore different things.

                  Agree that training brain memory need not be flashing memory cards.


                  Both my kids are in their teens. The fun memory learning ways (we had never flash cards) during preschool years not only boosted their memory power without spending tons of money, it also enables them to do well in their academic years.

                  There are workshops and online ideas that teaches parents how and when to do it. It is helpful to know and not follow the commercial ways if it does not suit the child.
