Mothers know intuitively that the first months of life are vital to the long-term well-being of their children.  In this, they are absolutely correct, say authors Glenn and Janet Doman.  But mothers and fathers do not have the information they need to use these first months to their baby’s best advantage, or to make the first six years of life as stimulating and rewarding as they could and should be. That’s because until now, the world has had little understanding of the true potential of a newborn.

How Smart Is Your Baby? provides parents with all the information they need to help their baby achieve his or her full potential.  The authors first explain the newborn’s growth and development, including all of the critical stages involved.  They then guide the parents in creating a home environment that enhances and enriches brain development.  A developmental profile, which parents complete, allows Mum and Dad to track the progress of their child, to determine the baby’s strengths, and to recognise where additional stimulation and opportunity are needed. Most importantly, parents learn how to design an effective and balanced daily program for physical and intellectual growth.

When parents understand how their child develops, they can become the best teachers their babies will ever have.  Best of all, this joyous program brings parents and babies closer together, establishing a life-long bond of learning and love.

How To Multiply Your Baby”s Intelligence provides a comprehensive program that shows you just how easy and pleasurable it is to teach your young child how to read, understand mathematics, and expand his or her general learning potential.  It explains how to begin and expand this remarkable program, how to make and organize necessary materials, and how to more fully develop your child’s learning ability.

How To Teach Your Baby To Read shows just how easy and pleasurable it is to teach a young child to read by providing skills that are basic to academic success.  It explains how to begin and expand the reading program, how to make and organize necessary materials, and how to more fully develop your child’s reading potential.

To me, the title of this book is quite confronting, but this book has an incredible message for parents of children with Special Needs.  In this updated classic, Glenn Doman–founder of The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential and pioneer in the treatment of the brain-injured children–brings real hope to thousands of children who have been sentenced to a life of institutional confinement.  Based upon a half-century of successful work performed at The Institutes, this book explains why old theories and techniques fail, and why the philosophy and revolutionary treatment of The Institutes succeed.

In What To Do About Your Brain-Injured Child, Doman recounts the story of The Institutes’ worldwide research–setbacks as well as history-making breakthroughs–during its tireless effort to refine treatment of the brain injured.  He shares the staff’s lifesaving techniques and the tools used to measure (and ultimately improve) visual, auditory, tactile, mobile, and manual development.  Doman explains the unique methods of treatment that are constantly being improved and expanded, and then describes the program with which parents are able to treat their own children at home in a familiar and loving environment.  Included throughout are case histories, drawings, and helpful charts and diagrams.

Twenty thousand families from over one hundred nations have brought their children to The Institutes.  The great majority of these children have done better than their parents had hoped based on prior experience with conventional methods.  For each of these families, this book was the starting point.

A MUST READ FOR PARENTS OF CHILDREN WITH DOWN SYNDROME

By Dr. Raymundo Veras

This is the story of Dr. Raymundo Veras, a brilliant Brazilian surgeon and his journey into the world of brain-injured children. After Dr. Veras’s son, Zé Carlos was injured in a diving accident, Dr. Veras dedicated his life to fixing his son’s injury. That devotion led him to The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential^® in Philadelphia, where he learned from Glenn Doman^® and the staff, how to fix brain-injured children. From there he returned to Brazil and began treating many more children.

His success with the children the world has described as ‘Mongoloid’ or ‘Down Syndrome’ led to the first successful methods to treat their problems. This book is the story of Dr. Veras’s second life and the first chance for wellness for many of the world’s hurt children.

I have referred to this book in Naturally Better.  It is such an eye-opener to the possibilites we can achieve with these wonderful children.

The early development of mobility in the newborn baby is a vital part of his future ability to learn and grow to his full potential. The authors show clearly each stage of mobility and how to create an environment that will help the baby to achieve each stage more easily. Full-color charts, photographs, illustrations and precise, easy, detailed instructions help parents to create their own home program.
