Method

Math and reading programs, according to the Doman method, are flash card based. You can find out more about the reading program in Reading: Flash Card Method, and the math program in Math: Flash Card Method. Lessons are given three times per day, starting from the age of three months.

The physical program involves a range of activities – from encouraging babies to crawl from birth, to developing their sense of balance, to teaching children to brachiate (traverse a horizontal ladder, also known as monkey bars). Find out more by heading to the Physical Development section of BrillBaby.

There is also a Doman music program. Starting from birth, parents teach their baby musical appreciation, rhythm, note reading and perfect pitch. There is no book dedicated to the program, but details are available online (for example, on the Child and Me website) as well as through courses given by the IAHP.
