I attended the first course and very much enjoyed it. I felt SO enthused about it...SO ready to do it all...but in fact I didn't do much about it except tell everyone about it. :( Maybe overwhelmed with where to start? I did buy some materials-was excited about starting the physical program and the BITS of Intelligence-seemed like easy baby steps. But I did not...
In short, my daughter wasn't that interested after I finally got in gear to do the word strips again. I blame it on myself. It had been too long since I had done it-several months. I praised her quite a bit when she was doing well and she knew when she was doing well and felt good about it. Twice she guessed, (I never asked her to tell me the words-she just always like to say them). I just said the correct word--and she was not interested. The Doman's number 1 rule is to only do it if the child was interested. I didn't want to force it. I put it away and tried a few days later. She turned her head away. Sigh. I was sad because I DO believe in it. She KNEW she had forgotten material and was embarrassed about it, therefore not interested.
I'd highly recommend the course. For my next child I very much plan on implementing most if not all of it.
