Isobellies,
I think the book on shining the torch to baby's eyes is "How smart is your baby" This book touches on the activities that you can do with your baby to stimulate her brain and senses.
Ya, I bought direct from them and attended their short training loh. As mentioned, I am doing English, Maths(dots cards) and Chinese. Each sets of cards we are flashing two times a day as per suggested by Glenn Doman singapore office for working mothers. I find that although its expensive to buy (rather than do the cards yourself), it save me the time and hassle and also the Glenn Doman trainer is always there whenever you have queries and problems.The trainer even came down to my place to see if my baby can start on the cards as she is only 2 months then.
Garfield, Ya lo start earlier the better and easier also. Cos now she will queity sit there and let you flash. Later when she is mobile, its harder I think. We started when she was 2 months plus. The surprisingly thing is sometimes my baby will be excited and squeal when we flash cards at her. Dunno if it work la, but we just try our best and its also like bonding time.
Shichida focus on right brain training. More is done at their place. Glenn Doman focus more on reading and they believes mother is the best educator.I heard Scichida was better last time until a lot of teachers all resign at the same time. Some set up their own school outside. Anyway if u want to send your child to Shichida, you have to be on waiting list one.
Thinking of sending my girl to gymboree leh.... any experience from anyone?
