The Baby Brain Workout Flashcards series is for babies, toddlers and children from ages 2 months old to 6 years old. This is because scientists have proven that before the age of 6 is when your baby's brain needs the most stimulation from baby flash cards for the brain to form connections. |
|
There is much conclusive research on baby brain development that the younger they are stimulated, the earlier their brain connections are formed. Read more on baby learning.
Do not be concerned that the topic is too "difficult" for your child because it is about brain stimulation and imaging and your child will not find difficulty in learning once their right brain is stimulated.

The best time is when your child has slept well and immediately after he or she has eaten. Basically, when your child is at his or her most alert form, so that your child will be most receptive to learning with baby flash cards; when your child is sleepy or hungry, the concentration level will be poor. |

In a well-lit and quiet room with little distractions (such as television) |

The “chipmunkish” voice in Super Speed is a result of increasing the speed of the voice by 100%. While you may find it impossible to pick up the right pronunciation of the words, but similar to the fast images, the important point to note is that it is not so much to learn the actual objects in the flashcards during the Super Speed shows but to stimulate the brain with the increased speed images and voiceover |

While it may seem fast to you, but 1-2 seconds is considered a long time for children to pick up images. In fact, as your child gets used to the fast flashing of baby flash cards, they can pick up images that are a fraction of a second.
The important point to note is that it is not so much to learn the actual objects in the flashcards during the Super Speed shows but to stimulate the brain with the images and voiceover. |

The 20-Day baby flash cards program is a pre-set program for parents to flash a variety of cards to their children without always repeating the same cards. The aim of the 20-Day and Super Speed program is to stimulate the left and right brain of your child.
So even if you skip some days, it is not a problem. However, just remember that it is important for your child to receive continuous and consistent stimulation.
Thus, do it on a daily basis and when you have completed the 20-Day and Super Speed programs, you can repeat the 20-Day programs again. |

It is common for children to be distracted. However, stick to a schedule each day that you feel is best for your child.
For example, if your child is most alert at around 8am, then every morning at 8am, tell your child it is "flashcards time" and view the show together. Even if your child rejects baby flash cards initially, he or she will soon start looking forward to flashcards time with you as it also means cuddle-time with you. Thus, make it a point to kiss and cuddle your child after sitting through the show with you. Intrinsic reward is advisable when teaching babies, rather than extrinsic reward such as a treat (sweets) for sitting through the show.

While our eyes may feel strained after long hours at staring at the screen, according to eye experts, it does not cause our eye-sight to deteriorate.
However, it is important to be in a well-lit environment when viewing the shows for your child. Also, there is a recommended amount of times you should let your child view the flashcards each day and spread out to various times of the day rather than put the shows back to back. |
|
Unlike some picture flashcards, most of Baby Brain Workout Flashcards come with the descriptive text at the bottom. This is to encourage your child to pick up the image and word at the same time. |
|
There is less research is carried out with brain stimulation of older children above 6 years old, but this DVD can also act as educational software for your older children. However older children are less likely to sit through the entire program. So its not advisable to force your older children to sit through the show but to see what interests them. |

We designed this series based on the research around learning and right-brain learning methods already in use. The speed of learning is an important contributor to stimulation of the brain areas. Put simply, MRI's show that the faster the stimulation, the larger are the areas of the brain that are stimulated.
Our approach in right-brain learning is to not pay attention to the actual image but on stimulating the brain processing in the right-brain segments, so image + text adds more complexity to the image and processing required, and without disassociating image and meaning.
Baby flashcards play a very important role in stimulating your baby's brains. The younger your child starts the program, the more disciplined your child will be in learning, which will be evident when they start schooling. This is because this is a form of structured learning, rather than learn-on-demand. |
