Baby's Right Brain Learning

Baby's Right Brain Learning - the Learning Method for the Little Genius.

You may have heard that right hemisphere is the brain of the geniuses. When a person is right brain dominant, he or she may have rare abilities that most of us don't process. Since right brain is developed before the left brain, baby is born right brain dominant and therefore is able to absorb enormous information effortlessly and naturally.

Right Brain Educators such as Glenn Doman and Makoto Shichida use the ability of the right brain to develop method of teaching baby to read and rapid math calculation. Does the right brain create the geniuses? No, it actually does not create geniuses, but every baby is born a genus. If the right brain is stimulated at the right time, in the right way with appropriate methods, we will be able to access the abilities of the right brain and help our babies obtain or exceed their potentials.

What kind of geniuses are they? They are those who process photographic memory, develop perfect pitch, rapid reading, lightning fast math calculation and also an ability to draw something from memory.

While learning with the left brain requires repetition in order to memorize and develop expertise in the subject, learning with the right brain happens subconsciously and rapidly. Our baby does not have to try at all. You can't even call it "learning" because everything comes to them so naturally and effortlessly.

The best time to introduce right brain learning for your baby is when she is 0-3.5 years old. The best method to stimulate the brain is the flash method. It takes advantages of an ability to absorb so much information at a rapid speed.  You can read more about teaching your baby with flash method here at this link:

The most  important thing when it comes to teaching baby is making sure your child is happy. The right brain will work best when your baby is relaxed and joyful. Teaching is the time to spend to bond with your child. Remember that relationship comes before result. The process of teaching is just a way for you to stimulate your baby's brain. Becoming a genius is just a wonderful byproduct.

Happy Teaching!

Teaching Baby - The Debates

Is teaching your baby or good idea?

The Debates continue!

We love our baby. We don't want to do anything that harms them. Sometimes, we are wondering whether to teach or not to teach our kiddos. Well, there are no fixed rules when it comes to teaching baby. If teaching makes you miserable and your baby moody, then do not do it!

Actually, the most important thing is MAKING IT FUN! There are so many people out there who disagree with teaching babies. Some of them are experts in the field but many also encourage parents to teach their little ones.

Teaching Baby is your personal choice. Do not do it because others tell you so. Do it because you have done researches on the subject. Do it because you believe it's the right thing to do.
The famous augments on teaching babies are:

The subjects you are trying to teach can't be taught. It's impossible for baby to learn. Their brains are not ready for these subjects.

Well, there are countless of babies out there who could read, do math, and also play musical instruments. People who think babies can't be taught really underestimate babies’ abilities. Plus, when you teach your baby, you are not giving them facts like what teacher teach their students in formal classroom. You are not forcing young baby to memorize the facts but teaching is more like brain stimulation. Teaching has to be fun and engaging for babies. It's more like a game and mostly done at home or at a center where parents are involved.

Let babies be babies.

Some people think that teaching baby mean we are robbing the time for baby to have fun. Actually babies LOVE TO LEARN! They are learning everything every day. For them, playing is learning, and learning is playing. It's also very easy to teach when your baby is still young. You may find that it is hard and a struggle to teach a five year old to read. Why is it hard? Because, you wait too LONG. It's easy to start when they are young. Make the lessons fun, and teach when your baby is receptive. It only takes 5-10 minutes or even less per session. It isn't just teaching. It's a time you can bond with your baby too.

They won't remember what you teach them.

If you think of teaching as trying to get your baby to memorize or remember the facts till they grow up. You are wrong. Teaching baby is brain stimulation. It's like deposit the knowledge into your baby's brain bank. It will pay off when she grows up.

If you have doubts and want to join the debate. You can visit the BrillkidsForum. You will see that there are so many parents who embark on the journey of early learning. Many kiddos on that webboard do amazingly well. They can read, do math, and also develop perfect pitch! Wouldn’t you want to try and see how they could do that? My answer to you is to find out yourself and read through the forum! I for one am not going to waste my time wondering. I have started teaching and am still teaching and will be teaching my son as.

See you there at the Forum!

Who is Makoto Shichida?

Makoto Shichida - Who?

Have you heard about Shichida? I didn't know who he was until I started looking for information on
teaching babies to read. Shichida believed that all kiddos were born geniuses. If parents spent times to nurture and stimulate the whole brains during the first few years of life, the child will reach or exceed his potential.

Parents who attend Shichida classes are encouraged to spend at least 30 minutes a day teaching their children at home.
The subjects include photographic memory training, multiple languages and rapid math calculations.

Shichida method of teaching emphasises on the ability of the right brain. According to Shidhica, the right brain is the brain of geniuses and every child is born with it. If the right brain is stimulated correctly and at the right time, your child could develop phonographic memory and rapid math calculation.

The right brain develops well before left brain. Babies are right brain dominant and this is the best time to teach because your little ones can absorb so much information without even trying to do so. The fundamental of this method, though, is LOVE.

The right brain teaching won't work if you force your baby to learn. Your baby learns the most
when she feels she's loved, cuddled, and kissed. She learns best when she is the happiest.
The best time for us, parents to use this method for our kiddos is when from the age of 0-3 years old.

What are the benefits of right brain learning?

I really wanted to try Shichida classes when my son was younger but  there is no Shichica centre in the city in where we live.The only information I have is from the websites, forums, and Google.

Imaging
Right brain works through visual  stimulation. It works best with pictures. I think this is one of the reason little babies learn to read easily with whole word method because of the power of the right brain.

Simulation
Right brain needs stimulation for it work. It needs sensory stimulation but I believe the best stimulation of all is your love to your child.

Subconscious
With the right brain, your child can learn effortlessly, and subconsciously.

Rapidity
The right brain absorb unlimited information at high speed. This is when flash method comes into play. We flash because we want to stimulate the right brain. The faster we flash, the more information absorbed (0.5 - 1 secon per flashcard).

Whole brain
When the right brain is stimulated at its fullest, so is the left brain.

I tried Shichida Math with my son. I downloaded the contents from Little Math Library at Brillkids.
He completed all 4 circles. I don't think he process the rapid calculation ability but it certainly does help him grasp the ideas of quantity.

Raising a Little Reader

How to Raise a Little Reader

Reading is the most powerful ability to help people learning new things. No doubt about that, right? We, as parents want to see our little ones achieve their highest potential. How could we help them? Teach them how to read! According to Glenn Doman, the younger the child, the easier too teach and this is so very true.

Tips about raising a Reader

1)  Teach him to read early and invest in proper tools

I taught my son to read since he was a little over one. It was such a breeze to teach him to read. He didn't like paper flash cards so I used the Brillkids Little Reader Software as a tool. Little Reader rocks. It works and it helps my little kiddo reading before the age of Two. Also, if you would like to learn everything about teaching baby to read, please visit www.readingwhenlittle.com . It's a good place full of great info and tips.

2) Read to your child
Well, nothing is new here. You all know that reading to your child have lots of benefits. It's one of the best ways to bond with your little one and expose your baby to lots of words and vocabulary.

3. Choose books that your child loves.
Sometimes we tend to buy books that we like. They might be pretty looking for us but our little ones might not like them. What are your child's favorite things? Buy whatever books in that category and read to them whenever you can.

4. Don't wait till bedtime to read for her.
For baby and toddlers, there are times during the day when can you read to them. They love to be with mommies and daddies. Why not spend bath time, snack time, and play time reading to them?

5. Pick a day of the month as your book festival.
Transfer your living room or a space in your house as a book festival area. Choose various books that may interest your child. Stack them up, lay them out and don't forget to stock up snacks and treats to make reading time more fun and yummy!

6. Read with your child.
You can read to him and you also can read with him. Invite your little one to read together. Ask him questions, what he thinks the ending would be, who's his favourite character and so on. Make it engaging and fun.

7. Be dramatic.
By the term dramatic, I mean you get to act (for your child) like,  making faces, changing your tone of voices, and make sure to express the characters feeling through your facial expression. Kids love dramatic actions. My little one does, how about yours?

8. Bring your child to the library.
What's best place to start the love of reading? Your home and also the LIBRARY. The library has all kinds of children's books. Let your bundles of joy choose his own books to take home and also bring him to circle or story time at your local library.

Yes, Parents. Reading is the key to success. Teach your child to read early and encourage him to love books. I hope the above tips are useful and if you have better tips, please feel free to leave comments. I would love to hear from you.

The Glenn Doman’s Method (sight reading, whole word approach)

I was an early reader myself and an ability to read earlier made my school years fun and enjoyable. I am hoping that my son has the same experiences. So, I researched the methods of teaching baby to read. I found 3 approaches that may work for us - the wholeword method, the phonics method, and the combination of both.


Before you start your journey of teaching your sunshine, you should read Glenn Doman's book. You can buy Glenn Doman’s Book (cheapest prices) – How to Teach Your Baby to Read at Amazon: Please click the link and it will lead you to Amazon’s page for this book.

How to Teach Your Baby to Read by Glenn Doman

With this method, you will need to prepare hundreds of flash cards, and flash them by hand. It has to be done 3 times per day. You could start with words your child knows such as Mom, Dad, dog, cat, and etc. It’s very important that your baby is happy and enjoy the lessons. You must stop before your child want to stop.

There are 5 steps of teaching with Glenn Doman Method:

• Step 1 – Single words
• Step 2 – Couplets
• Step 3 – Phrases
• Step 4 – Sentences
• Step 5 – Books

What I love so much about this method is that I could start early. You could use this method when you baby is only a few months old.I recommend you read Glenn Doman’s book. It will give you the core idea of teaching baby to read. What I don’t like is that I have to prepare the materials beforehand. I made hundreds of flash cards and found out later that my son did not like looking at them.


After trial and error, I decided to change the way I taught my boy and opt to go with the combination od both phonics and wholeword method and sought the product that can powerfully deliver the lessons. It must be fun for my kiddo and also easy for me to use.

I searched through websites to a better alternative and that when I got to know Brillkids Little Reader. It has become my life saver, my best tool, the tool that work, and the tool that helps my son learn to read! I will talk more about the software on my next posts. If you can’t wait for it, please check out Little Reader at the Brillkid website:

I will talk more about how I use Little Reader in my next post.

Happy Teaching!!
