There are many methods created to promote learning and the accelerated development of the brain capacities of babies. Today we are going to analyze one of the oldest and most tested systems worldwide and over time. It is also the most followed educational system by parents from different countries and continents.
The method was created in the 50s when the physical therapist doctor Glen Doman with the group he had created, began to consider the brain development of 8-year-old children. The goal was to be able to help children with brain injuries. Then they discovered some surprising results that were tested with babies.
Learn by intelligence bits or educational cards
A complex system that is based on intelligence bits or educational cards. The method consists of stimulating the brain of the child through all kinds of images, as well as the interaction of the baby with them as well as with the person who is teaching them.
One of the fundamentals of the system is the learning of babies based on the relationship of the images with the voices they hear. For example, the brain of a baby does not know what "car" means until he has heard the word several times while he is seeing one. Because of the relationship that your brain makes, the child will learn word by word, action by action. Until being able to form sentences. (Which is also taking what he is hearing) Discriminating what he does not think important or what he considers more relevant.
Teaching English to babies
As Glen Doman said: 'There is no more difficult intellectual act for an adult than learning a foreign language; Very few adults are successful in speaking it fluently. However, for every newborn in Montevideo or Madrid, Spanish is like a foreign language, neither more nor less than French, German or Swahili. In a year, the baby will understand hundreds of words; in two years, he will be speaking in small sentences; at three he will be speaking'.
I think it is a basic method in whatever aspect we are working with babies and children. And as we have just seen ideal when developing a first and second language in the child.
We must turn the time of the 'chips' into a fun moment and as something special. This way, the child will like it and it will become another game that he will want to play and pay attention to.
The ideal is to start any topic that we will work with the child with intelligence bits. Thanks to them, the child can get a general idea of the means of transportation, meals, animals ... depending on what they are learning at that moment.
