Playing flash cards???

[Tom]

Read Glenn Doman's book on "How to teach your child to read" and then get second opinion from parents here. I think that this will do you alot of good.

My understanding is that 80% of parents either do not use flashcard properly or do not understand the theory behind it. Flashcards are very good for children aged from 0-3 and its effectiveness diminishes thereafter. Also, the child's daily environment, your attitude makes a world of difference to the effects of flashcards.

Flashcards is a great start. :cheerlead

Those who are interested in flashcards and the Doman method may wish to log in to www.childbrain.org for a look and we have a small HK parent group too, and you can pm me if you would like to join us.

Agree with New Daddy that flash cards is a great way for babies to learn between 0 - 3. And I assure you, it is part of play for the babies.

I am trying to find flash card for 4-12 month old baby, can you tell me where i can buy them?

If I speak three languages to my baby would it confuse him? I find it hard to stick to one language myself because there are some things which are easier said in one language then another.

hi Mommy Poon, how i teach my 5mth daughter:

I speak pure Cantonese with her during our day to day conversation, but all English during play time. And i ask my husband to do the same as well. And for my nanny, she speaks all Tagalog with her an sometimes read her English story books.
