I love watching Hunter play imaginatively. I love the little worlds he creates with his toys, the dramas he acts out and the stories he tells. He's so creative, so spontaneous, so unhindered. His "imagination station" certainly is working in full fledge.
Learning every day

"We have succeeded in keeping our children carefully isolated from learning in a period of life when the desire to learn is at its peak. The human brain is unique in that it is the only container of which it can be said that the more you put into it, the more it will hold. Between nine months and four years the ability to absorb information is unparalleled, and the desire to do so is higher than it will ever be again. Yet during this period we keep the child clean, well fed, safe from the world about him - and in a learning vacuum."
-Glenn Doman
There is no child too young to learn. And the most curious learner in the world is the small child below six years of age. Babies and little children are natural learners and problems- solvers and they WANT to learn about everything there is to know, and they want to do so right now.

"Those who say we must not rob the child of his childhood by inflicting learning on him tell us nothing of the child's view on learning but a great deal about what he himself thinks of it."
– Glenn Doman
“We are born with the potential brain of all the human greats (and all the scoundrels); intelligence is a result of what we do with it. Intelligence is a result of thinking.”
- Glenn Doman
“In contrast to [the] patterns of modern society, all mothers know intuitively that the first six years of a child’s life are the most important. In this they are absolutely correct.”
-Janet Doman
“Every child has, at the instant of birth, a greater potential intelligence than Leonardo Di Vinci every used.”
- Glenn Doman
“The memory should be specially taxed in youth, since it is then that it is strongest and most tenacious. But in choosing the things that should be committed to memory the utmost care and forethought must be exercised; as lessons well learnt in youth are never forgotten.”
- Arthur Schopenhauer
“Children and genius have the same master organ in common —inquisitiveness. Let childhood have its way and as it began where genius begins, it may find what genius finds.”
—Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton
“The greatest gift a teacher can give his student is a love of the subject.”

- R. Buckminster Fuller
“Genius without education is like silver in the mine.”
- Benjamin Franklin
“If your child is to latter cherish you, you must cherish him every day, every hour of his development. There are no neutral moments in a child’s life. Every moment is a time of continuous need and development.”
- Debi Pearl
“The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world”
“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.”
-Arthur Schopenhauer
“Do not confine your children to your own learning, for they were born in another time.”
