Summary

Glenn Doman has demonstrated for a half-century that very young children are far more capable of learning than we ever imagined. He has taken his remarkable work-work that explores why children from birth to age six learn better and faster than older children do-and given it practical application. As the founder of The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential, he has created home programs that any parent can follow.

Author Biography

Glenn Doman received his degree in physical therapy from the University of Pennsylvania in 1940, and began pioneering the field of child brain development. In 1955, he founded The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. By the early 1960's, The Institutes' world-renowned work with brain-injured children had led to vital discoveries regarding the growth and development of well children. The author has lived with, studied, and worked with children in more than one hundred nations, ranging from the most civilized to the most primitive. Doman is also the international best-selling author of six books, all part of the Gentle Revolution Series, including How To Teach Your Baby To Read, How To Teach Your Baby Math, and How To Multiply Your Baby's Intelligence.

Janet Doman is the director of The Institutes and Glenn's daughter. She grew up at The Institutes and was actively involved with helping brain-injured children by the time she was nine years old. After completing her studies at the University of Pennsylvania, Janet devoted herself to teaching "the best parents in the world," helping them to discover the vast potential of their babies and their own potential as teachers.
