Hi,
my son is 9 mths now and we just started the Shichida program this term. Was hoping to start a thread for Shichida mums to share ideas and resources on home practices. I know there is a forum dedicated to Shichida and Glenn Doman method but that forum is not as active as SMH.
I have yet to purchase any Shichida resources but have bought some flash cards from Popular as well as made some alphabet flash cards to flash to my son. Anyone care to share what they do for home practice? |

Hi,
I started sending my elder daugther to SM when she was 1 yrs old. I guess she was too young to pay attention to the activities in class, very heart pain as it cost almost S$80 for 1 lesson. But I do spend a lot of time with her on home practices, including flash cards, linking memory, eye training, speed reading, maths program and ESP.
The younger one is 1 year plus now but not too sure if I should send her to SM also. Heard lots of bad remarks about the school being very commercialize. |

You can also try Trio (search the web, I forgot the full name). I heard that the people from Shichida came out and started trio and they are quite good. |

received letter from shichida tat they are taking legal action against trio,
shichida is a very reputable school,my aunt married a japanese sp she's there for almost 20 overs years,she told me they are very reputable school
i like their concept,"they dun fill up yr child's brain with knwoledge but stimulate or teach them how to use their brain"
my soon been there since 5 mths ,been ther for almost 2.5 years
so far so good la..
can consider |

I signed my children at Little Neuro Tree now, am happy there too. Y? cos i am no longer have to put up with rude staff, cancellation of class without notice etc.

Mamijoan
its a good start to put your child is a brain stimulation school. My experience, do not be eager for results. ALwaYS stay positive, motivated. Other than Flashcards, exposure your child to foreign languages like playing them foreign CD or DVD etc. get them fix puzzles, do lots of hand eye co-ordination stuff..speed reading... actually, u will know wht i mean after one term.  |

Hi Blessing,
Little Neuro tree conduct their class in 3 diff languages. Chinese , Japanese and Eng. It depands on what you are looking for your child. For my children, i am looking for Language exposure, Brain stimulation and ..the teachers must have good diction.
Its ok you have bad experience with SM, cos you are not alone... |

Hi all
Calling all Shichida Parents! Let's discuss Home Practice
My daughter has been at Shichida for half a term now. She's 16 months old. I'm curious to find out what sort of Home Practice everyone is doing.
Maybe we can share:
- How often do you manage to do Home Practice? Are you a SAHM or FTWM?
- What components do you do during Home Practice - flashcards? dots? linking memory?
- How often do you change flashcards and introduce new flashcards? (I've been told we should not flash the same card more than twice!)
- Do you make your own materials or purchase from Tensai?
- Which are good materials to obtain?
- Do you think all this really helps?
Would be very interested to hear your feedback. Think we can start an informal Shichida support group here! |

Hi Yolk,
My daughter is not with Schichida. She is with Right Brain Ctr located in Bishan. However, she will be with Little Neuro Tree in Jan09 becos i would prefer to expose her to language, especially Chinese.
With regards to Home Practice:
- I do home practice with her from Monday to Saturday (six days a week). I am a FTWM.
- I use flashcards (both English & Chinese) + reading storybooks (again, both English & Chinese)
- I will change one new flashcard every week.
- No. Bought from the stores.
- Not sure leh...
- Sigh...despite what i have been doing for the past six months or so...my girl still refuses to talk. She is now coming to 18mths. |

Hi Wendy
Thanks for your reply! My daughter doesn't say much either - she's born in July 07 so roughly the same age as your girl. Not to worry, I think some kids are just late talkers but they'll all catch up eventually.
I've only just heard about Little Neuro Tree. How is their programme different from/similar to Shichida and the Right Brain Ctr? You mention an emphasis on foreign languages?
How many cards do you flash to your daughter each day? You change just one card (or one category?) each week? |

Hi Yolk,
My daughter will only say words like 'ball', 'door', 'apple' and some other easy words. She tried to say 'balloon' and 'umbrella', but end up saying something else which is really cute..keke...
My daughter has not started with Little Neuro Tree yet. I went to the Toa Payoh Centre and got time to mingle with the teachers. The teachers who are teaching in Chinese and Japanese are really native born. The emphasis is not really on the languages, rather it is to expose the kids with different langauges.
I will flash 4 cards to my daughter each day. Will change one card each week. |

Is that the recommended number at LNT? At Shichida, they tell us to aim for 10 sets of 10 flashcards (100!). |

hi Yolk
My girl is still not with LNT. The one at Bishan did not tell us to flash cards at home. I do it on my own.
I bought the cards from Kiddy Palace - letter, numbers, colors and words. I flash 4 cards from each box. Now, i will change one card everyday. I also bought wo hui do - Chinese and English flashcards + book. This one requires us to change one card every week. All in all i flash 28 cards everyday. On top of this, i read English and Chinese books to her everyday too.
I will change this routine when my girl is with LNT. They need us to do revision 3 times a week. |

Wendy, at least yours can say simple words. Mine still can't! Only can say yaya papa hiahia, sigh..
Regarding Shichida, I brought my elder girl there when she was 2 and gave up after a year. For my 2nd one, we havent done any brain stimulation for her at all, sigh. Think she is getting short-charged being the younger child  |

i flash 2oo- 400 cards a day. Including dot cards too. I will also play the Japanese CD i got from Little Neuro Tree. I play as much foreign language as possible for language stimulation.
I incorporate Baby can REad.... you might want to try it... i see amazing results!!! |

Hi everyone!
LC! Wow that's a lot of cards, well done! How old are your kids?
Wendy: You certainly have a good range of cards. Great that you are exposing her to different languages too. I've bought flashcards too, but I cut and paste the pictures onto the blank cards at Shichida - all A5 size. I like the standard size and find them easier to flash. But it takes a lot of time. Maybe I should just give up and use store bought ones!
Luanee: Why did you give up after one year? Can you share your feedback on the programme? I'm still thinking abt whether to keep my girl in the programme. It is really so so expensive and a lot of it seems kinda crazy to me, eg: the ESP stuff.
LC: My girl hates Your Baby Can Read; she finds the pace too slow, I think, and she only wants to listen to the songs. What amazing results do you see? |

Besides flashing cards, i think reading is good too. My girl has been 'trained' by me to sit and listen while i read to her. For her Sunday class, she is the only kid (total 4 kids and all around her age +- two months difference) who can sit for one hour. |

Hi YS
for BCR, u know they always show the intro with the dad showing word cards to a baby and the baby could do the action? eg.... belly... the baby says belly and point to the belly? i followed the dad... write down some of these words and show to them... at 11 mths, my kids can do tht too.... i could also get any pen and paper or book, they can recognise most of the words that i have written and say it.... of course certain words their diction is nt very clear. But its good enough for me.
However, if your girl do not like it.. better do not force it on her... try another time or do something else...PLAY is the best thats what i was taught
I bot lots of cards for my eldest child when she was in SM for abt 3 years...i even purchased 1000 cards from a lady online.
Wendy,
i agree with you, reading is very important. And of course with ability to sit down and listen, she can certainly progress very fast. Well done for the "training".
On my experience with LNT, i think you have made a good decision. Like i said in my earlier post, it also depands on wht you are looking for. Please see my earlier post, if you want more input i could email you. |

Hi,
My dd has been with LNT for 6 months now and she really love the teachers there. However, I just found out that LNT does not teach Linking memory and speed reading until 4 years old when Shichida start at 1 plus.
Does anyone know if there is other program teach linking memory and speed reading ?
Thanks |

Dear Stakka, LC and other mummies,
I am with Shichida for almost a year and is considering transfer my child to Little Neuro Tree. Can you share with me on LNT programme and will it be a gd decision for the switch. As I know, LNT is in the market for almost 1.5 yrs whereas Shichida is in the market for more than 20years. Please share more with me on your experiences for the switch and also the result you can see. Does LNT focus lots on home practises? YOu may email to me at rosabel22@gmail.com |

Hi Bel,
LNT is less commercialize and I like the teachers there. The pace is slower and the content is easier as compare to Shichida but just right for my girl. She really enjoyed her lessons and will focus for almost the entire lesson. The only draw back is they do not start linking memory and speed reading at very young age. But anyway, my dd does not enjoyed these two activities.
You can go for the trial lessons to see if it is suitable for your child. I go to TP branch and teachers are OK. |

Hi Stakka,
Thanks for your feedback and update!
In fact my son also don't really enjoy linking memory and speed reading! But ... after so many months with them, he slowly can accept a bit on these 2 activities as what I have observed!
Yes I will go for the trial lesso. Me will go to TP branch too as it is nearer to my house. Is there any T&C or so if after I GO FOR THE TRIAL and did not sign up for the class?
What time slot you take when you go to TP branch?
Looking forward to your reply! |

Hi, Bel,
LNT is very flexible with their trial lessons. You can go for the standard 3 lessons so your child can try out all 3 languages, otherwise, they are fine with 1 lesson.
My dd is 20 months now and they put her in the 2 years old class. Every lesson, they start with wheather, eye training, flash card, photo memory. Then follow by various games to cover hands eye coordination, languages, music and etc. In terms of home practise, there is a handbook with the words and songs for each sememster and they encourage you to buy ready made flash cards for home practise. The flash cards are cheaper as well.
Compare to Shichida, it is more relaxing and manageable so I am less stressful in trying to keep up with the pace. So far, my girl is able to concentrate and improve during both lessons and home practise.
I go to the Friday class. |

Hi Stakka,
Thanks for your input! Appreciate it!
Some of the activities eg eye training, flash card, weather is similiar to Shichida hor!
Yes I will go for the trial lesson and see how my boy behave so that I can make a comparision. It is so nice to have the trial!
Your friday class? What time is that? After work, you bring your girl there? |

hi,
my boy is 3 & i'm keen to start him on shichida but i'm hesitant after reading so many negatives reviews on them.
does little neuro tree focus a lot on language only?
how much is the fees?
in comparision shichida seems to be an "all rounder". |

Hi, my dd is with LNT PP branch. In Year 2, second term now. I personally find it good, but I cannot comment on SM, coz I have never sent my dd there.
I must say that the 3 teachers my dd has at LNT PP branch are great! Easy to tell that they are very caring and love working with children. Besides curriculum, to me, rapport is impt too. At PP branch, I believe only the JP teacher is native, not the Chinese teacher (which is ok by me, coz I wld like to expose my dd to mandarin that at least I can understand too from the diction...heh).
There are 12 lessons in total in 1 term. Conducted in 3 languages on a rotational basis...meaning one lesson in English, next lesson in Mandarin and the next in Japanese.
I think the main focus is to have an early start in exposing the kids to the 3 languages. It never fails to amaze me on the variety of activities they have for each lesson (the concept of the activity may repeat but never using the exact same activity materials - which goes to show the efforts put in to prepare the teaching materials).
Fees wise, it's $600 per term at PP branch, which works out to be $50 per lesson (each term comprising of 12 weeks).
Just for sharing.. |

Hi
My dd is about two years. Have been showing her flashcards since less than a year. Wondering if any of you mummies who have been flashing cards with your children would like to have an exchange of cards so that we can expand our repertoire without killing more trees? |

My 13 months-old dd is currently in LNT (TPY) and had attended 4 lessons so far. We wanted to enrol her to SM but classes are full until Jan 2010, so we tot can try LNT for 2 terms and then switch to SM next year. We hope to make some comparisons between the two before coming to a decision.
So far LNT has been enjoyable as dd loves flashing cards together with songs. Heard SM is more 'stressful' cos it is results-oriented. So maybe they are more confident in promising results than LNT.
Anyway, for mums who are doing or are intending to start home practices, I've a few topics to share. They are available on my blog for downloading. Feel free to click and leave your comments.

hi magdelene,
I've sent my boy to LNT @ Upper Serangoon branch end last year for 1 term. reason for stopping the class is because I dun find it very useful.
Key reasons being inexperienced teachers and the activities are too repetitive that it does not stimulate the brain. Even for supposedly right brain training activities, they are fairly simple, unlike SM, GD or any other right brain training methods/ schools etc... so overall, I find it's not really very brain stimulating for the price I paid. I regretted for not going for trial classes to see if it's good and signed up blindly coz heard good reviews about LNT.
A gf of mine also stopped after a term @ the same outlet. She also felt the teachers were not very experienced.
Overall, I think teachers play an impt role.. so LNT may be good, but different outlets may have varying standards. |

Hi Magdelene,
I have been sending my son to Shichida classes in KL, and I find the teacher are also not so experienced.
But I have been told by senior shichida mothers, that
as parents we must do our part, because classes are only once a week. So all the "homework" must be done by parents.
I normally buy my flash cards, mandala, and others online coz I don't have much time to make my own flash cards.
I get my stuff from www.homeeducation.sg and www.rightbraineducation.com. |

hi, my son and i have just started shichida, he's 1yr old.
i'm wondering if there are any sahm moms with babies around the same age group, who would be interested in getting together on a weekday "shichida" themed playdate. Well, sort of like a home practice session.
i'll be happy to host at my place, i live near central area.
please PM me. thanks! |

Hi Can anyone please remind me what the deposit was for the Shichida class? I informed the management that I didn't want to continue and they refunded me $300. Is this correct? I lost my receipt and can't remember what I paid for the deposit. Thanks for any input. |

I heard Springleaf is better.
My son has been there since Oct'10, he has a very patient and passionate Teacher, Muhammed Natasha.
I'm thinking of withdrawing my son out of SM but not sure if i should do so as i read from a source that the left brain dominance kick in around 3.5yrs old to 4yrs old. |

Hi,
I am new to this forum. I have a 16 mths old boy and I am keen in getting 2nd hand schichida materials like the memory link cards, etc to do it at home on my own. Will be good if it comes with instructions. It's really over my budget to send my boy for the class....:p |
