Are we a bunch of crazy parents?


I was introduced to the Glenn Doman's programme on baby education by friend Caroline. Glenn Doman began pioneering the field of child brain development in 1940. He founded the Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential in 1955 and work with brain-injured children. Their belief:

- The human brain actually grows by use and this growth is virtually complete by six years of age.
- Tiny babies wond rather learn than do anything else.
- Tiny children think that the most precious gift (toy) in the world is the undivided attention of an adult, preferably Mom or Dad.
- The greatest teaching team in history is that of parent and child.
- Parents can teach a baby absolutely anything which they can present in an honest and factual way.

Thus, as a bunch of crazy parents, we share our cost and purchase the Math and English flash cards for our baby. This photo is taken after the Glenn Doman's workshop.
