Every child is a potential genius.
"Every child born has, at birth, greater potential intelligence of Leonardo da Vinci ever used." - Glenn Doman
Stimulation is the key to unlock the potential of a child.
"The world has on the growth and development of the brain seemed as if they were predestined and unchangeableFacts. We found that brain growth and development of a dynamic process. This is a process that no one (as it is of profound brain damage) can be. This is a process that can slow down (as it is due to moderate brain damage) can be, but most of all, this is a process that can be accelerated. "- Glenn Doman
The lessons should start at birth.
"The first year is critical. This is the time when the brain is growing explosively. The brain literally grows with the use- And if we use it, we grow. And if you do not use it, especially in the first 12 months, then you are literally losing brain cells - the brain will not have as much as you should. "- Janet Doman
The younger the child, the easier the learning process.
"Before the age of five, a child can easily absorb large amounts of information. If the child is younger than four simpler and more effective, three and even easier and more effectiveThe two. Simplest and most effective of all "- Glenn Doman

Parents are the best teachers of their children.
"In the worst of the worst day with your child, you become your child to be the best teacher -. More than anyone else in the world on an average day, or the best time of your most special day, you are absolutelyspectacular - because you know your child better than anyone else. And only love your child - this is the perfect combination for a teacher. "- Janet Doman

"Parents deserve the joy that comes from the teachings of experience of their child, and children have the right to appreciate the joy of learning with their parents." - Glenn Doman
Teaching and learning should not include the examination.
"One of the beauties of teaching is a child whothe process of teaching a pure process of giving information without asking why he came back. "- Janet Doman
METHOD
The reading and math programs are Doman flashcard-based. Classes meet three times a day, from the age of three months. The program includes a series of physical activities - from supporting children from birth to scanning, to develop their sense of balance for the education of children embers (through a horizontal scale, also known as a climbing frame).There is also a music program. From birth, parents teach their children to music appreciation, rhythm, reading music and perfect pitch.
