How to Give Your Baby Encyclopedic Knowledge
*** OVER 13 MILLION COPIES SOLD ***
Time and again, the work performed at The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential has demonstrated that children from birth to age six are capable of learning better and faster than older children. How To Teach Your Baby To Read shows just how easy it is to teach a young child to read, while How To Teach Your Baby Math presents the simple steps for teaching mathematics through the development of thinking and reasoning skills. Both books explain how to begin and expand each program, how to make and organize necessary materials, and how to more fully develop your child’s reading and math potential.
How to Give Your Baby Encyclopedic Knowledge shows how simple it is to develop a program that cultivates a young child’s awareness and understanding of the arts, science, and nature―to recognize the insects in the garden, to learn about the countries of the world, to discover the beauty of a Van Gogh painting, and much more. How To Multiply Your Baby’s Intelligence provides a comprehensive program for teaching your young child how to read, to understand mathematics, and to literally multiply his or her overall learning potential in preparation for a lifetime of success.
The Gentle Revolution Series :

Every parent should read all of Doman's books. Even if you don't agree with 100% with his methods, you will learn how important it is to take advantage of the child's early years when their mind is like a sponge.

Will try to use his advanced method of using flash card
August 11, 2018
Excellent book
Very details!
But need visual examples for the flashcard (bit of intelligence , programs institute, etc )
Will be a lot better if they provide a printouts of some of these flashcard

Repetitive! I could cut out half of the book to save the 🌎 planet! Yet it contains pretty good pieces of advice

I loved it.
February 28, 2010
Again, parts are repetitive if you've read his other books...but love this. My intention is NOT to make my child a genius or smart to the levels that he is talking about...rather, to help my kids to continue to love learning throughout their lives. That's all. So, I don't/won't go as hardcore as he talks about (don't have time for that anyway), but I love the small results I've seen so far. I haven't started this program completely, but have made minor adjustments in how I teach Callie certain facts..."What's that?" Instead of saying "bird," I tell her it's a "robin." Three days later, she remembers and points out that there are robins outside...not crows. For me, and it seems for her, that's fun.
Throughout his books, sure there are things he says with which I don't agree 100%, but one thing that has really struck a cord with me is his idea of being a professional mom. I have a renewed sense of purpose and delight in my current (and life long) job as a mother. It has been empowering to have a sense of all I can do for my kids other than just raise them -- though I feel that is noble in and of itself.
These aren't books for everyone perhaps, though I do believe every parent can benefit from the knowledge in these books, but I read these at a perfect time for some things I've been feeling and going through with Sammy and Callie right now.

Ok, I saw this and just had to get it from a used store. For about two weeks I was completely obsessed with it and wanting to put the program in place with me and my baby. Then I got exhausted just thinking about it. It's upbeat and makes you excited about your child's capacity for knowledge, but also a bit guilt inducing because you really feel like you ought to be doing a lot more to teach them facts and info. My child is probably bored and maybe he is hungry to learn animals and flowers and world capitals, but I don't think I need to rush these things. This is an inspirational book though, a classic of the Baby Einstein genre.

The first 1/3 of this book is basically one big sales pitch for "the institute". Then, finally, they get into the magic method for turning your child into a walking library: flash cards. Flash cards? Yeah, flash cards.
Disappointing, to say the least. I was hoping for something more engaging. Something more experiential, perhaps, or at least more interesting than flash cards. It's an "advanced" technique for flash cards, sure, but it's still flash cards.
Critiques aside, there were a few interesting bits of information. The book isn't worth reading, but at least it's not a total loss.

December 27, 2008Not the most well-written book, but very interesting nonetheless. I love the idea of a "gentle revolution", which he describes in the book.

Use flashcards. Teach them in an orderly fashion. Go fast. Don't bore them, don't test them. Have fun.
