I'll be finished with a major job and have some free time in the next couple weeks. I'll do a complete AMA then if there is any interest. 'Til then, I'll give a pre-emptive TL;DR.

  • Two books generally guided my approach: Einstein Never Used Flashcards and Raise a Smarter Chld by Kindergarten. There is another of edition of 'Smarter Child' since this one that probably has more recent research.

  • No high sugar foods, except fruit until 2yrs and then only small amounts.

  • From age 6mo to 1yr My baby can talk and from 1yr on www.signingtime.com. No more than total 1 hour of video time per day. (Estimated +8-12 IQ points)

  • No PVC or other neuro-toxins in her enviroment (Anal about this.) (Estimated +3 IQ points)

  • Absolutely no trans-fats, hydrogenated fats or preservative rich food (Anal about this.)(Estimated +3 IQ points)

  • Omega-3s lowest in mercury (Estimated +3 IQ points)

  • Hours and hours of face-to-face time assisting with everything that she can almost do.

  • Lots and lots of books.

    People will be offended when you do not accept gifts of the above things, especially when their kids have them. We try to be as graceful as possible with that. Our approach to teaching is that we are playing and having fun--we stop immediately if she doesn't like something and no drilling.

    I taught her to use the computer very early with Cyberstart and that progressed to Reader Rabbit: Phonics and Starfall.com.

There is this interesting book called Einstein Never Used Flashcards about how kids need to play more and do acedemic drills less. Your situation just reminded me of the book.

I know I would not want to send my daughter to a school like that. I think too much structure and discipline at a young age can squash creativity. Kids can socialize at any pre-k/school, there is no need to force strict academics at such a young age. Just let them be kids.
