I played it and as usual he's not very interested. He still doesnt like to watch tv despite me introducing to him when he was a baby. hmm...

:? most parents will be happy that their kids are not interested in watching tv....

[dozalot]

well, I guess I’d rather him watch some TV so that I can have a breather at times.

Saw http://www.amazon.co.uk/Numberjacks-Are-Their-Way/dp/B000MV835G at Popular. Amazon's review seems good. Any parents tried this dvd before?

I guess the problem with educational DVDs is some kids truly enjoyed them while others may find it boring. My kid didn't enjoyed the \"Numberjacks\", so far he only watched it twice and most time he was not watching but playing with his \"trucks trucks\" toys in his hands.

Frankly, I wished that I had not get it because I personally didn't like it too. \"Boring\" is too mild a word to describe it.

Ok, my kid's favorite DVDs now are:-
(a) Leapfrog DVD - \"Letter Factory\" and \"Word Factory\",
(b) \"I'm an animal\" DVD (vol. 1 & 2).

For the \"I'm an animal\" DVD, he would shout out the name of some of the animals too.

Hi all,


This learning programme adopts the concept of the Shichida method and Glenn Doman flash cards methodology of right brain training.

Seems quite useful.... maybe can give this a try.
