All About Flashcards

hi quixation,


You're such an inspiration, you know...when i just no need to wake up 2-4 times for 2 babies in the mid-night. (insisted not let my helper to help when nite time even daytime i have to work. My hubby was trying to ask me to dispatch 2-3 days in a week to the helper.)

i think we and many mummies share the same kinds of sentiment. When flashing, i see her eyes like a blank paper, fully trust on me. i see her eyes so urge to acquire new knowledge....All will drive me on or put me on guilty when not making new flash cards.

yea, try my best now, ehhe will start to \"shop\" for some encyclopedic info...(ya...will go flip a bit How To Give Your Baby Encyclopedic Knowledge book by GD tx tx)

Have a nice day

No la.. dont say that. I think all mummies are the greatest! This morning I heard this trailer on Class 95fm on saluting women.. And boy, I was feeling rather proud being a women but i think the best part is being a mother! We mummies are always the one planning and thinking for our kids. Like ourselves, who do we turn to when we become mothers? OUR MOTHERS of course! Sadly not all have the luxury of having their mums so I guess we must ensure our kids grow up useful so they can in turn help others in future..

you have been a great mummy too! Salute la!

I try send you some stuff when i finish with the flashcards.

Been going round the forum and see ppl printing and laminating flashcard. Quite lei-chay. Want to share this software I chanced upon , called pixedlflash at http://www.firstwords.com.sg


I save so much time and money now, just need to concentrate on increasing my session with my kid.

Hope this helps some of you.

hi Clarice,

thanks for sharing.

Am not sure how this firstwords works but nearer to home, there is the Brillkids software which you can also import other playlist made by parents all over the world. There is thousands of categories and words to choose from and you can record your own voice and decide the play mode. I have this software too and uses the photos or ideas from other parents to flash to my gal. I only use the pc flashing once a week just to expose her to different media. But the only thing it's lacking is being able to burn the projects into VCD or DVD so that grandparents and helpers can show them in the day.

The contents are excellent, good for a full time working mum like me.
However, I still find the conventional way better because there is
1. More interaction between my child and myself.
2. We control the session like games before each session so she knows its fun to see flashcards
3. Our voices tend to be more personal than pre-recorded
4. We can change the words or revision anyhow and anytime according to the child's needs.
5. No radiation
6. Dont want to expose them to much to computer YET. hahaha..

But a mixture of different media complements each other if done in the right way. I flash cards to my gal when i am at home. During the day, she watches wink to learn DVD or Your baby can read VCD as revision. I realised she picks up the word and meaning faster. I also try to speak to her about the words we flashed when we play.

There is also a mini Doodle Pro that we have in the car and sometimes I use that to revise the words or just let her draw. Its small enough for any bag. Example, during dinner and when she is getting bored, I took the Doodle pro out and start writing the words like MEAT, FISH, VEGETABLES, SPOON, etc etc as revision. Of course, we made things fun too. I draw a plate and ask her to scribble on it like the noodle she sees on the table or the hair on someone's head..(idea taken from Kumon first steps books)

Hence, I guess its the whole approach! But if what you are doing works on your kid, then continue your good work!

Good luck!

Thanks for the heads - up on Brillkids. Almost similar function to what I have for pixelflash. Cost wise, a bit steep compared to what I got for pixelflash.


Maybe can try out a demo.

I'm new here~~
currently a mum of a 7mth old gal n expecting a boi in 19 Nov 09..
i'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this.. but well heck..
I've research bout flashcards n realise tat there r 2 proper methods (of cuz some parents got their own method n it's working) to use the flashcards..
1 is the Glenn Doman method, the other is the Shicida method.. anyone can tell me wat's the difference between the 2 methods? n how to apply the 2 methods?

i noe of some places teach kids with these 2 methods..
Shicida class (shicida method), little neuro tree (glenn doman method)..
which one (or if there's any other \"schools\") should i enrol my kids in? or which one should i check out?

TIA
