Glenn Doman

I have been reading Glenn Doman’s book on How to Multiply Your Baby's Intelligence. Of all his books that I have read, I must say that this book is a summary of all his other books. Readers will get some ideas on his belief on why the need to teach young children (babies) and his other teachings on how to teach your baby to read, to do mathematics and to expand baby’s general learning potential. I strongly believe in his teaching and belief, which can give every baby a powerful advantage that will last a lifetime. Babies will have the opportunity to be everything good that it is possible for them to be in life.

Excerpt from this book:


The Basics of Good Teaching

1. Begin as young as possible

2. Be joyous at all times.

3. Respect and trust your child.

4. Teach only when you and your child are happy.

5. Create a good learning environment.

6. Stop before your child wants to stop.

7. Introduce new materials often.

8. Be organized and consistent.

9. Do not test your child.

10. Prepare your materials carefully and stay ahead.

11. Remember the Fail-Safe Law: If you aren't having a wonderful time and your child isn't having a wonderful time - stop. You are doing something wrong.

"It's good, not bad, to be intelligent." - Glenn Doman

"Children who are the most competent are the most self-sufficient. They have the least reason to whine and the most reason to smile. In short, the children who are truly bright, knowledgeable, and capable are the nicest children and the most understanding of others. They are full of the characteristics for which we love children." - Glenn Doman
