This Blog Will Focus On...

The focus of this blog, is, as the name implies, early learning.
I hope to fill this blog with articles, quotes, reviews, posts and freebies of interests to those who are interested in early learning.

What is Early Learning?
---Early Learning or Baby Learning is the intentional, gradual and baby-centered education of infants and toddlers up to traditional school age. So typically teaching small babies between birth and 6 years skills, content and knowledge typically preserved for elementary aged children

Why do People Practice Early Learning?
---There are as many reasons as there are  families that practice early learning (EL). Many people do it to enrich and give focus to the time that they spend with their young children, for many families it is a bonding opportunity, EL sometimes grows out of the need to provide stimulation or therapy to children who are differently enabled than a typical child. Sometimes it is a way to train your child up for a better education than you could expect them to get at a typical public school in the USA. Others do it because they have an older child, or they were a child who struggled in elementary school and they want to spare their baby the same struggle or grief.

Who Invented Early Learning?
---There was no 'inventor'. If you look closely in history you can find that many great men and women were given an education starting from very early on with the intention of grooming those individuals for greatness. Some modern names that are well known on the Early Learning scene are Glenn Doman, Makoto Shichida, Winifred Sackville, and Sidney Ledson.

I will include links to more information about the above mentioned EL authors and pioneers. I will also include reviews of (and links to) their works as I am able.


Who Practices Early Learning?
---Early Learning, as many understand it, isn't something you practice. Its something you live. You light up the world for your young children in a very specific way but you relax yourself, you amuse your babies, you share joyfully and give knowledge and attention to your infants. You make it a habit to respect both your babies intelligence and potential. You teach your young ones to love learning and to share that love, the adventure with you every.single.day.
