      hi phankao, thanks for your detailed tips! Yes, we did go through the DVD bit by bit, and not the whole thing in one go, at first. We definitely skip the music/scenery section - it’s just too boring haha! After a while of doing bit by bit, my son can finish the whole DVD no problem at all, but subsequently, he just found it too boring and walked off hahaha! So we stopped. Don’t know if it means that he already learned everything or if it means that he finally decided he didn’t like it. Anyway, we will try it again!

        hi,


        I have been trying to order books from dangdang. At the point of submiting the order, please advise which should I select:

        送货方式 [修改]普通邮递,

        付款方式 [关闭]当当礼品卡/礼券 冲抵:¥0.00 (礼品卡/礼券足以支付此订单,无需选择其它支付方式)
        余额冲抵:¥0 (余额足以支付此订单,无需选择其它支付方式)
        您还需为订单支付:¥542.60,请在下方选择一种付款方式:

        使用当当礼品卡
        确认使用


        网上支付 您需要先拥有一张已开通网上支付功能的银行卡。 使用网上支付,您将获得积分奖励:10分

        邮局汇款 您需要先去邮局汇款,所购商品将在款项到达当当网帐户后发出,到款时间一般为2-7个工作日。

        银行转帐 您需要先去银行转帐,所购商品将在款项到达当当网帐户后发出,到款时间一般为1-5个工作日。

        and where is the part where the page would prompt for using the credit card like DBS or Citibank? cos when I clicked on the 网上支付, next the page went to the china credit cards icon, what shall i do next?

        thanks alot

          It's really so much more effortless when they are below 1yo and not running around, right?

            phankao,


            about Glenn Doman, well I know many parents do use his methods and believe in them so I don't want to say much otherwise I'll probably start a big debate! I have bought and read almost all his books (I am quite a geek) and in fact I did a lot of background research on his methods and his institute. In short, his methods and studies have been widely discredited by the medical establishment and have even been said to be dangerous. I don't intend to push any point across here, I am happy enough to accept that each parent chooses the method that he/she is comfortable with. 😄

            I absolutely love your little books! Yes, using images and lessons that relate to your child's daily life is a tool that many childhood educators use. Your little one is so lucky to have a hardworking mummy like you! I think that your little books must really have been the X-factor in his language development! Kudos to you!

              yeah, definitely. Nevertheless, I think there is a chance he will sit through it again. Perhaps it's like toys - must rotate once in a while! 😄

              Anyone going for the Gazillion Bubble Show this weekend? We are going on Saturday morning!

                    Hi Parents,

                    Do you know where I can get audio stories (cds) with books, and any recommendation? I have a set from Perlangi series but they are for preschoolers and the stories are really short.
                    Looking for age Kindergarten and P3 level.
                    Many thanks.

                        The books can simply be summarised as \"flashcard\" anything you want the kid to know! Big words, flash fast. The more topics you show, the more the kid knows. Every child has capacity to multiply his intelligence, even brain-injured kids, just a matter of exposure. That's just about what I get from the books. I don't infer anything else.

                        I did those books when he was much younger. Now, I rarely do them much.
