Summary: You need to see it to believe it. How sad!
Review: When we were once told man can fly, and go to space. Ignorant and negative humans laughed at the idea. When true love was able to be found on the internet, people laugh and mock the idea too. And so thank heavens not all humans are so negative and narrow minded, otherwise how would we see the human race be where they are today? My son, is now 26 months old, and by following what was suggested in the book, he is sure enough strong enough to support his own weight and brachiate the "monkey bar" on his own. He is also very proficient in running. I invite those with curious minds to come see the growing population of "Doman" families across the globe, quietly and surely participating in the "Gentle Revolution", with or without the help of the Institutes. We are a non profit, pro bono support group. Be very amazed at http://www.childbrain.org

Summary: Brilliant!
Review: Years ago, Glenn Doman was a pioneer in research on dyslexia and brain processes. It was through Doman and Delcato's work that the need for crawling to activate the right and left hemispheres was discovered. Since the 1960's education and research has come a long way from there, but the basic ideas have not changed, and Glenn Doman has held to his theories with religious fervor! While I would not want my child to attend his school or go as far as showing them Gray's Anatomy before the age of 7, (the children at his school never seem very happy to me) I can easily recommend THIS book without reservation. It has all the relevant information for you to take or leave as you wish. It demonstrates how simple activities that all children delight in (and already DO when left alone) are actually exceptional tools for brain development. And, it isolates and explains the ones that have the most powerful effect. This book helps parents understand the role of these natural inclinations as it shows them how to encourage and assist the child by creating an environment where its instinctive movements and curiosity can be followed through safely. This is invaluable at the very time now believed to be most crucial to the development of a child's quality of life. Whenever a friend or relative has a baby, this book is my first gift to them. The ones who try the exercises tell me they notice a positive difference in their child almost immediately (in areas of comprehension, coordination and overall intelligence). It has clear and colorful diagrams, development timelines and large pictures. It will be necessary to get past Doman's zeal if that kind of thing turns you off, but if you take what you like and leave what you don't, this book will prove itself invaluable.
