How to Teach Your Baby Math

by Glenn Doman, Janet Doman

​*** 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.

He and The Institutes are famous for their pioneering work with brain-injured children and for their work in early development for well children.

In addition to dealing intimately with more than twenty thousand families over the last fifty years, he has strongly influenced millions of families through the book What To Do About Your Brain-Injured Child and the creation of the groundbreaking Gentle Revolution Series of books and materials that teach parents how to teach their babies at home.

Glenn Doman has lived with, studied, or worked with children in more than one hundred nations, ranging from the most civilized to the most primitive.

These have a lot of blah blah blah about anecdotal successes and about the rational behind the method. It would be improved if these books got to the method more quickly or if there were good studies documented in scientific literature to back their specific approach and to help a parent determine just how much benefit such a system might be.

A lot of the book is spent convincing the reader rather than the nuts and bolts

"If you teach a tiny child the facts, he will intuit the rules."

"Intelligence is a result of thinking."

"Tiny kids can learn anything that you can present to them in an honest and factual way. If you give them the facts they'll deduce the laws that govern them. This is exactly the same method that scientists use to discover laws. [...] According to this definition, tiny kids are scientists."

Mind blown. I read it in one sitting. The research is eye opening as a parent.

It is absolutely amazing what our children are capable of. I love reading about extremely successful children because it helps me realize anything is possible, and it largely depends on us as their parents as to our children's potential. What we expose them to, teach them, allow their minds to be and do. I just don't know how to keep up with all of this yet. But it has been liberating knowing that our children will learn anything we put before them.

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.

While there was a lot of repeated information from the How to Teach Your Baby to Read book, it was still excellent. The baby's brain is fascinating. I would give it 4 1/2 stars if allowed, only because I feel like they should really combine these books. It would also be nice to have instructions on how to implement both the reading and the math programs (or encyclopedic knowledge). Really fun to read about though!

Il primo libro che leggo dell'autore. Non avendo figli non posso applicare i consigli che vengono forniti, ma ho trovato interessantissimi gli spunti di riflessione che vengono proposti. In particolare sono rimasta molto colpita dalle potenzialità dei bambini piccoli che vengono messe in risalto, e dall'importanza che si pone sul presentare l'apprendimento come un'avventura e un gioco divertente. Se mai un giorno avrò dei figli lo riprenderò sicuramente in mano.

[Murali Podile · Rating 3 out of 5]

There are a few useful tips and advices. But my problem with this book is that it is often repetitive and goes on and on about how babies can learn a lot. I'd prefer to just get to the point quickly instead of filling the pages. It can easily be condensed into a fraction of the size. Having said that, it does have some useful tips about how to teach a baby the concept of numbers and math.

I've already read a book "How to teach your baby to read" and I think this one is even more revolutionary. I can't wait to try it with my daughter. She already starts to read at the age of 2o months, this is just awesome. I bet she can learn to count as well.

[Coady Nickerson · Rating 4 out of 5]

A lot of interesting things that your baby can do if this is to be believed. Will probably give your baby an early start in math. As long as you and your baby are entertained by it, there is probably no harm in doing it, although I suspect the outcomes are overstated.

[Nandini · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very good book. Wish i had read this too earlier. Informative. Concept presented in a clear and scientific manner. Easier to read than to implement. Hope I'm able to take some and start practising at home.. Definitely recommend for all to be parents and new parents.

[Roberto · Rating 3 out of 5]

Similar to the concept of how to teach your baby to read, but I would have to read this again, when my baby is 8 months old.

[Enhee Tsoodol · Rating 3 out of 5]

3 stars cuz it is pretty much similar to “how to teach your baby to read”.

[Eleni Mastronardi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Step by step, easy to understand, and I already see the lightbulbs in my 1-year-olds head!! So very excited and proud of how smart all babies are!

[Antonija]

Basically its ‘teach your baby to read’ book with numbers instead of words.

So if you read one u know the other.

[Kathy Feera · Rating 3 out of 5]

Gets repetitive after having read other books from the series. Contains pretty good information though!

[Kendra · Rating 1 out of 5]

I was so bummed that I didn't like this book. I felt like this book dragged on and on and really never taught me how to teach my child to do math. I wish it did but it just kept dragging through random thing. For me I like books to get straight to the point. If you are going to teach me then don't cover it with a bunch of other stuff that makes no sense. Stay on point and teach me how to teach them.

If you have read any of his other "How to Teach Your Baby..." books, the background history and whatnot is a little repetitive, but I totally believe his concepts and actually purchased the materials. (I'm making my own materials for the other programs...and he teaches you specifically how to make them...I just didn't want to do that for the math program.) I love how his books give step by step instruction. I really feel like his goal is to teach parents how to help their children instead of trying to "sell" his idea. If he was trying to do that, the materials to be purchased would be way more expensive, and the institute that he runs for children wouldn't be free. I truly believe his intentions are altruistic -- and I believe what I have read. The reading program with Callie is still going well...so why not believe him?

I loved this book. I just read it today, so I haven't started it with Davey and Gordon yet, but plan to. I think it will be fun to see if it really works and I don't see how it will hurt them. I have heard negative things about Teach Your Baby to Read, mostly that they will be bored in school and what is the purpose to teaching them to read, but the author totally made me believe that 0 - 4 years old is the best time to learn anything, especially the basics. So why not? Plus it will open their minds and engage them more. I think that I'll start with math though, even though they suggest starting with teaching your child to read. It makes me really wish that someone had thought me a foreign language when I was little. I am trying to get Joseph to teach Davey and Gordon Spanish now, hopefully he comes around.

Everything written by Glen Doman and The Institutes of Achievement of Human Potential is just outstanding, mind blowning always a light bulb moment for me. Children can do math, children enjoy math and its the highest brain function homosapiens can perform and it all comes down to 2 things 1. Are you willing to prepare the material - which is the hardest part 2.Are you willing to dedicate each day (less than 10Min) to teaching your child math. Reading these books has made me realize the potential my son has and I have been entrusted with this knowledge to help him excel and become the best version of himself. Reading these books made me realize how all children are geniuses. I would love to have more kids and the ability to be home and dedicate these teachings to them. The bit I have done with my son I can see than this information should be shared with THE WORLD AND ALL PARENTs

[Thiruppathi Muthukumar · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you have read any other gentle revolution series, you will find the first 5 chapters repetitive. How to teach math, lies between Chapter 7 - Chapter 12.

Detailed execution plan would've been helpful in material preparation, have to re-read chapters 7 -12 during material preparation.

Can I just rely on the equations/number personalities mentioned in the Appendix section? Or should I get more creative/logical to fill the reverse side of dot cards.

This is just a know-how of teaching math. I believe the success relies based on execution.

Having 9 sessions per day seems impossible for working mother. May write a detailed review during pathway and material preparation.

Definitely a good read.

[Vassi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Well, I got this book for Christmas and I read it in one day. It's interesting. I hope I can apply some of the ideas with my daughter. The steps seems a bit daunting. You have to present "values" to your child...then bump up to simple equations (over the course of weeks/months) and you have to do this three times a day. It's a hard thing to do if you're a working parent. I have been reading a lot of parenting books lately and they all depress me. They all seemed to be geared to the stay-at-home mom and this one is no exception.

[Brenda Cregor · Rating 5 out of 5]

I did not have the money to buy the "kit" which came along with this book, so I spent many hours scribing words onto large pieces of posterboard in large print.
I was not a die-hard, but my oldest child has been my most avid reader.
So...?

[Lu Tu · Rating 4 out of 5]

it's not too late to relearn math. you need to open your mind as a child view so that all abstract and theory will be swiped out, only true remain..... there, you will see a different but... clear world

Thanks

I am very gratefull for this superb contribution, and overall be part of my child education, I read the entire book with joyous, I notice that when you explain something usually use He, him, instead of She or her, maybe should be better use both.

[Niva · Rating 5 out of 5]

You can certainly raise your children's IQ by following this book. Hindi naman mahirap gawin. Tiyagaan lang talaga.

[Addie]

Thought this was really interesting but still torn as to whether or not to use any of the techniques with my own daughter.

[Tadas Supronas · Rating 5 out of 5]

Must read for parents.
