Doman-Manichenko's methodology: feedback on effectiveness

From birth, the child begins to absorb all the information surrounding it as a sponge. The children's brain is unique in its mechanisms of imitation, identifying itself with a significant adult. Repetition of habits and habits, words and actions, intonations of the voice of the beloved adult - all this gives the kids an excellent base for creating their unique way of interacting with the world around them.

Using such absorption and active development, specialists began to develop various methods and methods of early development. These programs and techniques are aimed at the fact that a small researcher in a game form knows all the concepts and patterns of our world. It activates the brain centers responsible for the harmonious work of mental processes, and as a result the child learns without straining. One of the most well-known methods of early development is the transformed method of Doman-Manichenko.

History of the transformation of the Doman method

Working with children of early age who had deviations in the work of the nervous system, an American Doman (a neurosurgeon by profession) came to the conclusion: if you can not use all the mechanisms of the central nervous system and the psyche, then you need to use compensatory functions of the brain. Based on this, he developed a method that compensates for missing functions by stimulating other organs or functions. For example, through the organs of vision, hearing loss can be made up, and so on. Children were given cards with different images, most often the lessons started with cards on which red dots were drawn. As workers noticed, such cards attract attention well. The experiments carried out have surpassed all expectations - children, lagging behind in development, after a while already outstripped their peers.

Glen Doman did not stop at the achieved results. He continued to develop his method, replacing the former cards with others. Thus, children who have lagged behind in development develop almost any material. After experiments with children who have various deviations in mental development, Doman decided to try the method on healthy kids who do not have brain lesions. The results were also shocking: if you start from 6-9 months, to 2-3 years old the child will be able to read.

After such discoveries, the method began to be actively used in various institutions for the early development of children. But, as in any theory, Doman's method also had shortcomings and inaccuracies. After 20 years of studying the methodology, which developed Doman, Manichenko Andrew slightly corrected it. First, he, being an experienced psychologist, perfected it. After all, Manichenko tested her on 3 of his sons, he certainly knew all its minuses and pluses. Secondly, the specialist adapted the method for studying with children in Russian.

What is the development of the child according to the method of Doman-Manichenko?

The Doman-Manichenko method refers to the section of methods for early development. Since it involves very young children, the duration of the lesson is also small - up to 1 minute. But on the day of such lessons there should be not less than 50.

How does the lesson pass? The child sits, and his mother shows him the cards and loudly names what is depicted on them. Doman-Manichenko's cards deserve special attention. They are divided into series, for example, 10 cards with animals, plants, figures. For each lesson, different series are prepared. It is interesting that by showing the child one of them, the mother should not show it again within a month. In addition to the fact that the child sees the image, he also hears how the title of this picture is pronounced. In this study, mnemonic mechanisms develop (visual memory, auditory memory ), orientation in space, emotional connections.

Doman-Manichenko's methodology assumes further development, the cards are made not only for the study of concepts and names, but also they show a certain fact about the subject. For example, information about potatoes, where it grows, what it is used for, and so on. Together with this, the task of the mother is to stimulate the child to active movement.

Advantages of this method

There are many methods for the development of the child, developed by different specialists, they all differ. Doman, Manichenko, Zankov, Montessori, some other psychologists, teachers and doctors say that the best time to teach a child is up to 3 years. Some focus on physical development, some on building self-learning skills. But not all methods comprehensively consider the formation of the child's personality.

Doman-Manichenko's method refers to such ways of developing the baby, which cover different areas of environmental studies. If a day by the method can hold up to 50 lessons, which within a month should not be repeated, then the child is given a huge amount of information.

With such a presentation of information as presented in this method, the results will please the most skeptical parents.

• Studying with the kid on this method, many parents note that in his older age he has encyclopedic knowledge.
• In addition to mental activity, the child acquires the skills of physical emancipation. After all, one of the main requirements for parents in this method is to encourage the child to actively move.
• From the youngest age, the baby will develop a phenomenal memory. By absorbing all the information and repeating it after a certain period of time, he will learn to remember the smallest details of objects and events.
• Over time, the skill of speed reading is acquired. It is very useful in adult life, and fast reading for many years is preserved.
• Gradually, the child becomes a leader, because he is confident in his knowledge and abilities.

Basic postulates

1. The kid is the center of all activities, everything around him, mobile. This means that the mother should adjust to his individual pace of study, encourage his activity and try not to tire him with visual material.
2. The game is the main way of learning, development and recreation. A child at this age is the most likely to perceive information in gaming activities, so showing and reading cards should also take place in a playful form.
3. Consistent development of the child. Doman-Manichenko's methodology in his arsenal has a large number of series of cards. All of them are arranged in such a way that the child studies the concepts and objects of the surrounding world according to the growing. You can not show the kid first light cards, and then images to teach reading. Training should be phased.

The role of play in the methodology

At an early age, the crumb understands the world around only through play. Account, reading, development of logic, memory, thinking, the child learns through active pastime. In the first three years the crumb develops not by the days, but by the hour in the literal sense. Each month, he has new achievements, which pleases both the baby and parents. With pleasure and ease the kid learns any information. Therefore, the game - the main activity of the child in the period from 0 to 3 years.

Main directions in development

Manichenko's method, adapted for Russian-speaking children, is aimed at the development of the falcon in the following areas:

• Development of speech (listening to the names of images, studying letters, the baby learns to speak and make phrases, sentences);
• Acquaintance with the environment (study of professions, products, transport, etc.);
• Creative development (through the viewing of images in the child develops the imagination);
• Teaching reading (viewing and learning letters, syllables, words, perception of names through photographic memory on letters);
• The study of mathematics (the development of logic, thinking, mastering the account, elementary tasks);
• Education of positive traits of character (with the help of a fairy tale).

Why do we need Doman-Manichenko cards?

In any methodology there is a tool. In some, these are some types of sports equipment, others are based on working with sand, paints, plasticine. The method of Manichenko (as an addition to the scientific data of Doman) assumes only work with cards. These are identical sheets of paper (cardboard) on which the object is depicted, a word is written, a task is indicated, everything that has somehow the property to develop the child's brain.

Most often, moms prepare them for their babies, as getting them in full is problematic. Every mother knows what information her child needs, and teaches knowledge in game form through cards. Super-cards using the Doman-Manichenko technique do not have any magical effect, they are only shown in a certain order and in the right amount.

Combining upbringing and development

Any development or formation of skills in a child lays a mark on his personal qualities. The kid learns to be active, but at the same time disciplined, purposeful, kind and responsive, quickly grasp information. All the skills acquired through training by this technique, at a more adult age for him, will be indispensable.

Is this method miraculous? Parents' comments

For many parents, the first method of teaching children is the Doman-Manichenko method. Reviews about it are mostly positive. But there are some points that should not be forgotten:

1. The child develops according to the individual scenario, and not as specialists have determined, you do not need to demand the impossible from the crumbs.
2. Without fanaticism - a child needs sleep, food and walks as well as development, one should not downplay anything in significance.
3. The child in itself is a value, not its achievements.
