Top 10 Things I LOVE About the BrillKids
1. It only takes 5 minutes a day. Now this may sound crazy, but it really is all the time it would take for your child to learn 500 words in 6 months! This gets rid of the whole "I have not time" or "I'm too busy" excuses. Even the busiest parent or caretaker can spare 5 minutes to dedicate to your child's future.
2. No need to be a genius.The program provides an easy way to bring the world to your baby without you having to be a know-it-all. Your baby wants to learn so why not encourage it by letting them explore as much as they can.
3. Expand you child's learning opportunities. Let's face the facts: your baby is going to learn whether you encourage it or not. The difference that you make on your child's brain development is that by pursuing these opportunities for you child to learn your will be opening doors that your child might no have otherwise had the chance to. Or they may get exposed to ideas and concepts that may not hold their attention if they are presented later in life. By starting now, your baby will be better prepared and comfortable in his world because he will understand it.
4. Boost your baby's confidence and self-esteem. If your child never knows the feeling of frustration because he can communicate and understand his surroundings, he will be more sure of himself. Children that begin learning early combine the best of children and adults because they are kind and happy, but they also comprehend their actions and those around them making them natural born leaders of tomorrow.
5. Instill a passion for life long learning. We are all born with a thirst for knowledge, but somewhere along the way we lose that driving curiosity and we begin turning down opportunities to learn. Is it because we just don't care? Actually it stems more from a wondering what strings are attached. Our love of learning is tested time and again until we reach a point where we say no more. By handing your child the opportunity to simply learn, no strings attached, you will allow your child to retain that remarkable curiosity that has always sparked human achievement and progress.
6. Bond with your child. The ease of having lessons all planned out with no need of spending hours making flashcards lets you to spend more quality time with your baby instead of making flashcards. Also the bond created from learning together with your child is something that lasts even after the lesson is over.
7. User-friendly interface that not only gets you up and running in no time, but it's also easy to store and take wherever you are going. The program does come with a manual and online support, but it is design so well you probably won't even need to look at it. You can simply get going right off the bat. All you really need is a computer and that's it. And there's no need to carry a bunch of cards everywhere or find a place to store them, it all fits neatly in your computer. It also keeps a lesson planner that keeps track of what you have covered and what comes next to keep you right on track.
For those of you that do want the actual flashcard system, never fear, BrillKids has got you covered as they provide an actual package with their tangible flashcard system that can be mailed right to your house.
8. Constantly expanding Library. This means that your child will never run out of things to learn. While you can not expect to teach your child all there is to know under the sun, you will have an endless supply of material to feed your child's active curiosity and thirst for learning.
9. Add you own Lessons. Although there is an endless supply of material for your child, you also have the option of easily adding your own content as well. Your child will be delighted to learn about things that are in his usual environment and what could be better than having your child learn with daddy's voice recorded even while daddy is away at work! Or maybe you want to teach your child a second language? With its user-friendly interface there is no more fumbling or toiling with flashcards. It is also fully customizable to your child by having control over how fast it flashes, the color and size of the display as well as sounds, etc. This all ensures that the program will move at a pace that is just right for your child.
10. Community! Now this is a big one. We all want our children to start off with their best foot forward and as the saying goes, "It takes a village to raise a child." And the BrillKids village has over 30,00 members providing you with a strong network of parents just like you all trying to give their child the best start possible. Not only can you share your experiences and get help, but you can also download the lessons that members have made and add those to your baby's lessons, even if it's in another language! Basically, having a support group let's you stop worrying about doing it all alone and let's get back to more important things like giving your child the gift of learning.
All in all, it is a great program that allows you to get your child off on the right foot. And there are two ways you can test this. If you just want to get your feet wet, then check out the free sample lessons or simply join the community and see what people are talking about. If you're ready to jump in and start swimming, then you are still try out their 14-day FREE trial! So in the end you have nothing to lose, but your child has everything to gain!
