Is it ever to early to start teaching your children? Now that I am a stay at home mom, I have more time to focus on teaching her. I have the starter disc to a popular DVD based teaching program and she likes it but I was looking for a way to help her with numbers and letters.
Galloping minds has four DVD programs, Alphabet and Phonics; Shapes and Colors; Numbers and Animals; and About Computers. They also have a preschooler Spanish DVD and flash cards to go along with the Alphabet and Phonics; and Numbers, Shapes and Colors DVDs.
Since I have been focusing on working on teaching Wiggle her numbers first with some teaching of alphabet, the Galloping Minds Numbers and Counting with Animals DVD was just what I was looking for.
Wiggle loved the animals in the DVD, and it seems to be helping. With a little coaching she can count to ten. She is enthralled by the DVD and asks to watch it over and over. I call it her Smarties DVD but when she says it, it sounds more like Funnies.
We have also been working with the Alphabet and Phonics flashcards. While the phonics are a bit beyond her, not quite two, age the alphabet cards are fun and have great pictures that she finds interesting. I like that each letter card has more than one corresponding word to go along with the letter.
The Numbers and Counting with Animals DVD teaches more than just counting from 0 to 10. It also teaches counting down from 10 to 0, and basic mathematical skills of addition and subtraction.
I try to limit her TV time for cartoons but the Galloping Minds DVDs are entertaining as well as educational so I do not feel guilty for letting her watch them.

I would like the Preschooler learns Spanish. It is easier to learn a new language when you are young and it doesn't hurt to speak more than just English. dpschad@yahoo.com
