Hi,

The Little Lounge Introduce Yourself

Hi,
My name I am mother of a 20 month old little girl. I am very interested in teaching her everything she can comprehend. I do believe that the duty of a parent is to help her/his child to reach the maximum of his/her potential.
I did try to teach my baby to read through "your baby can read"series but it did not work for us. She do not want to see the flash cards, if I do insist on it she will start to cry. I did decide that maybe it is not the way to teach her. I am a little dissapointed that the program did not work for us, but maybe I will find the “right way” to teach her. I hope I will find it before she is 6 lol .
I just want to say that I am so happy that I found this forum.

Hi! We are so glad you are here!

Here is a link to one of the threads that talked about teaching an uninterested 20 month old. (Maybe it’s a 20 month old thing to do. :laugh: ) : http://forum.brillkids.com/teaching-your-child-to-read/how-to-teach-a-20-month-old/
Oh, and here is another one about an active 18 month old: http://forum.brillkids.com/general-discussion-b5/how-do-you-teach-an-active-18-month-old/

There were some good ideas. I also learned that my baby (now 17 month old) likes books once in a while. I made my own books with pictures of him and his brothers in it. I “laminated” the pages with contact paper, then used a sewing machine to put the pages together. He likes the books. I have the words on one page, then we have to turn the page to see the pictures. He’ll sit through the words to see the pictures. :wink:

It is encouraging to “meet” another mom who wants the best for her child. :smiley:

Hi Cristina,

Welcome! Actually my kids did not like YBCR either for a long time and I was wondering if they were the only ones. My little one has recently pickup some interest but I don’t force it (we don’t show it everyday). There are so many ways of teaching kids. Look around the forum, you’ll find so many great ideas.
