*1 of each exercise per session, for 15-45 sec each Caution: ALL of these activities should be done with the greatest gentleness, care, and foresight. Support baby’s head and neck at ALL times.

– Activities are done with baby lying horizontally, stomach down, on a firm pillow or small mat (on the floor or on the bed)

– Do these activities both clockwise & counterclockwise – While doing this carrying activity, move baby up & down, left & right, and forward & backward. Talk & name things as you pass them.

The crawler should wear: • T-shirt / onesie and diaper (arms/legs/feet should be bare for traction)

DomanMom.com Free for personal use only. Not to be sold, redistributed, or hosted on another site.

Note: It is a good idea to introduce the black & white checkerboard (and other black & white patterns) right from birth. Use the log on the stage II log to keep track of hours if you wish to do so.

This weekly log is for use with the program outlined in Glenn Doman’s “How Smart is Your Baby?” and/or “Fit Baby, Smart Baby, Your Baby” (previously titled “How to Teach Your Baby to Be Physically Superb”). Please see book(s) for more details. To learn how we use the program in our family, please visit DomanMom.com.

Day 1 (S M T W T F S) Day 2 (S M T W T F S) Day 3 (S M T W T F S) Day 4 (S M T W T F S) Day 5 (S M T W T F S) Day 6 (S M T W T F S) Day 7 (S M T W T F S) Summary of Week (Tip: weekly formal or informal evaluations are a good idea to determine what activities to progress to or focus more on) Reminders : 1. Every baby develops asynchronously – meaning they will be at different levels of development in different areas. For example, a baby could be at stage I in mobility development, stage II in tactile development, and stage III in visual development. Simply print out the logs that contain the activities for each of these stages and use only the portions needed. 2. During transitions, stages may sometimes overlap in a single area. For example, you may start to introduce stage III visual stimulation while still doing a few activities a day from stage II visual stimulation. This is ideal. Simply use two different logs as you gradually make the transition.

Reciting a poem while baby says some of the words Phase 1. Select a very simple nursery rhyme, poem, or Bible verse (just a few words long in the beginning).

2. Cradle baby in arms, facing you, and say the poem clearly & enthusiastically. Repeat this activity 5 times per day for five days.

Phase 3. On the sixth day drop the very last word of the poem. For example, if the poem is the phrase, “Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are” drop the word “are”.

4. The dropped word is now “baby’s word” that he can say if he chooses. Once you “give” a word to baby, do not ever “take” it back and say it in the poem again.

5. Say the poem with the exception of the last word. When you get to that part, pause and look at baby with anticipation and wait for him to say the word (if he chooses). Be patient and remember the choice is his. It may take up to thirty seconds for him to build up the respiration needed to say a sound (his version of the word).

6. If he says a sound (the sound he says will usually not sound like the actual word) celebrate profusely. If not, still thank him & ask him if he enjoyed the poem.

Phase 7. After he starts to consistently make a sound for “his” word (he will not always use the same sound), drop one more ending word for him to say.

8. When you see that this poem with two dropped words is very easy for him, introduce a new poem and repeat the process starting at phase 1.

Phase 9. Usually when baby begins crawling, his language will improve dramatically. At this point, baby will start interrupting you, and will want more words to say. Start using longer (more than a few words, but still brief) poems and giving baby more words to say, using the same process as above, except you may now also use words in the middle of sentences as well. Write Poem Here : Underline the word or words baby will say this week.

Phase baby is in this week (circle): Note: do this activity only at the best times of the day, when baby is fed, well rested, and in a good mood.

D e v e lD e v e l o p i n g R e s p i r a t i o no p i n g R e s p i r a t i o n w i t hw i t h m o b i l i t y p r o g r a mm o b i l i t y p r o g r a m Language development is dependent upon good, regular, mature breathing that a baby is able to control in order to produce the sounds he wants. To develop good respiration in your baby, he needs ample time on his tummy on the floor to move. Use the motor program logs available on DomanMom.com for this.

Mobility program used today?

Ch o i c e B o a r d sC h o i c e B o a r d s Fill in the blanks (triangles) with the different choices for a question you may ask your baby. I.e. for the question “What is wrong?” you could write: “hurt”, “hungry”, “tired”, and “none of these”. Note: for the actual choice boards, use a full piece of 8x11 paper per board.

To use: ask the question and then place baby’s hand on each possible answer as you say it (i.e. put baby’s hand on “yes” as you say “yes”, then “no” as you say “no). Then let go of your baby’s arm and wait, seeing if he either reaches for one answer, or looks at one. Start with only two choices, adding more as baby becomes more skilled.
