New Baby! What can I do for his/her development?
March 6, 2008 — Alenka | Posted in Teach Your Child. No Comments »Congratulations on your little bundle of joy! You are are ecstatic, a little overwhelmed and very determined – you don’t want to lose a second of your little infant’s time. Great. There are plenty of things you can already start doing! And the earlier you start, the better!!!
- How to Teach Your Baby be physically superb: a book by Glenn Doman with a terrific collection of physical excersises that you can start right at the hospital. At your kid’s age (age? Number of days or months?!) his physical development is going to be the direct link to his mental development later on, so the earlier you start, the better.
- How to teach your baby to swim: for newborns swimming is a natural skill, that is easy to acquire, and as days progress – they lose this ability. Swimming can greatly influence your child’s development.
- Mental development:How Smart Is Your Baby?: Develop And Nurture Your Newborn’s Full Potential and/or How To Multiply Your Baby’s Intelligence . I’ve heard a lot of these books, but I haven’t read it myself since it was published after my own little one already passed the babyhood times (and I had whole “Teach Your Baby to… read, math, etc.” series at that time). I’ve heard many good comments about it, about the supplies offered for this program. You can find newborn kits at Gentle Revolution Publishers site, so if you are familiar with Glenn Doman and would like to give it a try, it might be worth to purchase some kind of introductory kit. I’ve seen some posters for newborns at my friend’s houses – I definitely will be considering them for my new baby.
If you would like to find out more on Glenn Doman’s methods, check out… - Potty Training: yep! Early Communication methods can be started now and actually save you the time and nerves down the road: find more in our list of Early Communication resources.
