I said earlier that I would share the story of my mistake with my second child so you do not repeat the same error. I didn’t start teaching my second child math until he reached primary school age.  

This was a big mistake. He struggled with math throughout primary school and continues to struggle until this day in secondary school. Compare that to his reading.  I taught him to read as a baby using brain training techniques. And he did very well in English. He reads books at the speed of light and has excellent comprehension.   

Had I taught him math and got him to the right level by primary school, I am convinced he would not have struggled with math. I didn’t make that same mistake with my other children; no other child has struggled. Quite the opposite, they are doing really well. When I advised other parents, I encouraged them not to make my mistake. And I urge you not to make the same mistake with your child.  Start teaching your baby/ toddler now, and teach reading and math and then writing if they are at least 2 years old.

Also, what would have happened if I had started teaching my second son to read at 3?  Remember, he took much longer than his brother to get to the same destination.  When would he have started reading? I’m sure he would have gotten there eventually, but he likely would not have gotten to the same reading ability that he has now.  

I know that without any early braining training he would have naturally been in the poor performing group for all subject areas. My husband and I know this because of how long it took for him to read compared to his older brother. And also because of how he has struggled with math. So I don’t even want to imagine the disaster I would have seen had I followed the advice of many Western educators and waited until school age to teach him to read. 

While every child is different, what you should learn from this is that you don’t know exactly how your baby or toddler is going to respond to being taught. They will get there, I can assure you of that, as long as you teach them properly and don’t give up on them. However, please don’t risk delaying teaching them when you know the importance of starting early.

Then come back and learn about the results killer that you must avoid.  

Before I tell you about the results killer that you must avoid, I  want to use this opportunity to manage your expectations about what teaching early can and cannot do. For your child to get top grades in primary and secondary school, they must study. Despite my first son’s strong academic abilities, he worked hard to get good grades. My second child, now 15, seems to have decided he does not want to study.  

If a child does not study, they are unlikely to get top grades. Developing strong academic abilities gives a child the ability to get top grades. However, it doesn’t prevent children from exercising their will not to study. How my husband and I are dealing with my second child is beyond the scope of this book. He is slowly exercising his will to return to his studies, and we are noticing how quickly he is advancing. Because he can read quickly, he can get through study material quickly.

This is something that another student without those abilities would not be able to do. So, even in this challenging situation, I still find that teaching him to read early has been a great benefit.    

Next, I will warn you about one results killer you must avoid when teaching your baby or toddler.
