Children can start the DOORS Method as long as they can:
pay attention and let Tutors keep their concentration in a 30-minute class,
respond to a Tutor’s instructions in a disciplined manner, and
spend a total of 45 to 60 minutes daily in a few short sessions playing with DOORS materials at home.
For mothers-to-be or parents with younger children, consultation for coaching toddlers can be arranged separately upon request. Auntie Dora can teach parents, in a single seminar, everything they need to learn in various Reflex Card Games and explain how any adult can launch toddlers to learn more than 24 skills, that include practice the reading of vocabulary word-cards.
Here is a mother’s feedback: "I took one DOORSToddler Class on how to coach newborns in 24+ ways when Alexandra was 6 months old. Following Auntie Dora’s instructions, I succeeded in teaching my girl to learn 200+ picture-wordcards before starting Alexandra’s first DOORSclass on 20th May 2022 when she was 23 months old. I took the clip to document the DOORS Method effectiveness as Alexandra can read new sentences on 2nd June 2022, merely 12 days later." - Mom Hedy.
Parents should not miss their children’s super learning power before age 5 or 6. A few mothers successfully coached their daughters under age 2 before they could speak properly to visually 'read' the word-cards without prompting any pictures using the DOORS Magic Finger Game, as shown in the attached video links.
