About the show:
Parents want their babies to be super smart, super talented and super successful… and there is a multi-billion dollar industry of products and services promising all that. How do we navigate this confusing landscape of scientific claims and conflicting fads to find out what claims actually deliver?

Peter Davis – MMA fighter with two young kids – is a father who is ‘tough’ to convince. But armed with surprising insight into a baby’s development, he is going to dive deep and sort out what works and what’s just hype.

So basically just play with your child and don’t be lazy and just get them to settle down with an iPad or tv or something.

As an early childhood educator, I have so much to say about this video. #1- this way of learning encourages an increase in hyper stimulation of the brain. #2- SwingI got children up into the air can cause an increased risk of shaken baby syndrome and even possible brain damage. These methods are extreme and may be effective in the area of brain muscle memory at the risk of so many possible long term side effects. The brain, much like all other muscles takes time to develop and needs to be nurtured and properly taken care of in a way that promotes the greatest possible outcome for healthy development. Children should have a balanced routine that encourages natural growth at a pace that is unique to the individual 😊.

Imagine going to school since you were 5 days old

I want to know their story 20 years later

I actually tried this and now my daughter is 3 and has such an extensive vocabulary! She’s so intelligent! She amazes everyone she encounters !!

Ok before that I should work to get higher salary to afford my kids first of all

"How to Train Your Baby". Sounds like a Sheldon Cooper video.

Love it. Basically teaching parents to go back to the basics of playing, being attentive to your child, and being encouraging in order for them to learn.

There's no problem to teach your children being a memorisation experts, there's a real challenge to help your child be kind and compassionate. Parents do all these things for swanking around how smart their kid is afterwards, but kids are usually the hostages of their parents' ambitions. There's nothing to envy. Raise your child to be the person of a kind heart void of top-loftiness!

I don’t have kids but I want this for them

Also I’m 17

Infants at this age don't really need to be exposed to these kinds of flashcards to learn or to make them smart. Instead through letting them naturally explore their surroundings and be exposed to different textures and sensorial stimuli that's how their brain can develop.

[ariefnoorrahman]

smart is the capability to make good analysis of the situation, make the decision of the next action, and execute the plan accordingly, capability to remember doesnt make anyone any smarter

[sleepyearthling]

My parents never sent me to these classes, probably why I'm so dumb now tbh ._.

[FaiGal]

I was a lil skeptical about this study but infants do tend to learn a lot faster and easier than adults, so it it does make sense to train your babies at an early age like this. I mean these kids are bilingual on top of learning flash memory! I wish they'd teach preschools in the US like this, I'd wanna invest in it.

What was I doing before I entered primary school ? I was watching Chinese drama with my grandparents . No where close to having classes / tuition

My friend.. this business owner is the greatest Con man. I approve!

I don't know about the babies eyes during the 5 day old class but the parents are.definitely getting some. Exercise

[KimberleyAndIngrid]

The creativity just takes time and a lot of self-exploration. Training a kid to be what parents want them to be does not always work, we are human not machine.

And after that they grow up wear glasses and do overtime hours at work!

This is why parents who choose to carry their babies (carrying culture) through infancy have smart babies. The babies see/experience more when they are strapped to you, therefore, are smarter than the average baby.
