Shichida or Glenn Doman or both?

[chrismei]

Hi, Chief


My girl is 20 months and able to pronounce & recognise A to Z & 1 to 10 but not words. Is she too late for Glen Domin?

Hi Chrismei,


I think Glen Doman is for kids up to 6 yars old, so not too late at all. An I think less than 2 year old kid can recognise A- Z and 1- 10 is very good already.

Do your girl say the words like pa pa, ma ma ?

Hi mincy


Yes. But most of the times, she will call us daddy n mummy instead. She is able to pronounce naughty, relatives' names, clown, drum and other words but not recognise.

Is the products good? I understand a booth will be set up for Glen Doman at Expo for the Mothercare next week and i am thinking to make a trrip down. I believe most of the toddler is able to talk abt 18 to 19 months.

Not sure if you have been to this website which is very informative abt baby's development progress - http://www.babycentre.com

Do you know what the est price range for the Geln Doman like?

Thanks

Hi Chrismei,


That’s good! For recognising words, GD have program for that but their method recommend you not to test the child I think, I dont use the GD method though, quixation anyfeed back on the reading part?

For reading, I just starter trying the "Your baby can read!" DVDs on my boy (32 months) and have been reading to him since 6 months and I think they work quite okay. I did not test him on A-Z and -10 but, he knows words in the DVD and his favourite books – words like "baby" "arms up" "cow" "dog" "cat" "ma ma" and things he likes like "helicopter", "elephant" he will recognise. Some times when I flash card to him, I will show the words first and he will say out the words sometimes, but on for things he likes.

I have the shichida flash cards and dot cards. Anybody interested in getting them? I can sell to you cheaply

[mintcc]

which cards do you have wwcookie? I already have the dot cards and my genius cards…may be you want to post it at the Trading section?

[wwcookie]

I have all 3 sets of the shichida dot cards and 3 sets of the shichida flash cards. You are right, mincy, I should post this in the Trading section. Thanks

no problem, hope you find a buyer soon.


Just find something interesting. For Shichida method, there is a website for Schichida methods and materials in Japanese. They also have videos showing how to flash the cards...so if you can read japanese, prob can buy the books and materials and teach at home. They don't sent their products overseas though...good thing there is vPost.

Hi


I brought Glen doman’s card and my daughter is not interested in participating at all. She is more interested in reading story books…perharps i start too later. Any idea what steps should i take?

[mintcc]

I am reading GD’s how to give your baby encyclopedic knowledge and it says that it is not too late as long as the child is less than 6 years old.


It could take some time. make it like a fun game for the baby or start with some cards she likes. My boy love animal cards so sometimes I will just say let see some animal cards tonight and he will eagerly participate. the I just go on to flash other cards.

I only start my boy on Schichida at 24months so your daughter is definetly not too old… Some times putting on soothing music help too.
