By 8 months, a baby's brain has about 1000 trillion cells connections. By the age 10, that number is reduced to 500 trillion. As the brain operates on a 'use it or loose it basis', early experiences are the defining factor affecting the rate of reduction in nerve connections.
Studies on neglected children, who had been deprived of phyical and mental stimulation, found that parts of their brain were underdeveloped and 20-30% smaller than most children their age.
"The Total Development Program has developed our children's reading habit! Our children can apply the knowledge that they have gained to everyday situations. They
are keen to point out things that they have learnt such as fire engines on the street. The best part of the program is because they enjoy learning and reading so much, they have developed the habit of reading and will now read pro-actively.
Mr and Mrs Choi
We purchased the Total Development Program for our daughter when she was 8 months old. Over the past two years she has learned so much about a wide range of topics, and her reading, math and knowledge skills are better than other children her age. These books have definitely given her a head start in life! . These are the most complete set of educational books and CDs I have come across. We are also pleased that the program caters to the growing needs of a child, and there is more detailed material for her to enjoy as she works her way through school. This program has made parenting so much easier.
