WHAT PARENTS SAY - PART TWO

Even more feedback from our parents ....

	From Christine Truter Ek is self ‘n onderwyseres en weet dat ‘n mens nie die waarde van vroeë en genoegsame stimulasie moet onderskat nie. Practica is ‘n ongelooflike maklike en prêt manier om jou kind toepaslik te stimuleer en die resultate is ongelooflik! Die hele program is uitgelê vir jou. Jy hoef niks ekstra te doen nie – net dit wat hul sê! Ek doen Practica vandat my tweeling 4 maande oud is en kan met sekerheid sê dat hul op geen ontwikkelingsgebeid agter is nie. Inteendeel, my kinders is voor sommige eenling babas. My tweeling (en ek) put baie genot uit die aktiwiteite en ek vind dit baie bevredigend om te sien hoe hul daagliks ontwikkel AL hul mylpale bereik. PRACTICA is elke liewe pennie werd! Christine Truter (Leon en Ina se mama)

	From Amanda Campbell My daughter, Caera, is now 13 months old and more often than not I get comments on how she is capable of doing so much more than other babies of similar ages. While I am not a great believer in comparing kids, it does make me smile every time she surprises someone with what she is capable of at her age. She is an absolute pleasure and I firmly believe that Practica played an integral part in her development to date. She’s confident, she’s independent, loves interacting with people and it is just great watching her to see how her little mind is working to resolve the next challenge! Our new baby boy was born 10 Jan 2008 his name is Keagan. My other daughter, Nittaya, (11 years) is also on the photo Regards Amanda Campbell
	From Helga Coetzer Ma, Pa en Luca geniet Practica baie. Wonderlik om so baie idees te hê as hy verveeld raak vir sy speletjies. Ek heg n fototjie aan. Beste wense Helga Coetzer
	From Vash Pillay Thanks once again for making time to take us through the program again this morning I've attached pictures of my kids, Mikeya is 2.5yrs and Nirav is going on 4 months. I'm blown away by how easy this program makes my life!! Stimulating my kids on a level appropriate to their abilities is of huge significance...Especially for my daughter, who's already at a challenging age, and has had many changes to cope with as well- with the new baby and change of nanny etc. It makes the worry of returning to work less burdensome for me knowing that my nanny, with proper guidance, will be able to use it effectively in my absence. We've already started the activities with her and are enjoying ALL of it!! And I can already see advances my little boy is making in his interaction and responsiveness. Thanks and regards Vash Pillay
	From Vidette Koffinas Age: 4 1/2 months He is loving the game where you bounce him on your lap - This is the way the ladies ride, etc! Huge smiles from this activity. The Xylophone is also a firm favourite. We invested in Practica when he was 3 months old and it was well worth it as my domestic looks after him and she really enjoys the games and the smiles she gets from him! Regards VIDETTE KOFFINAS
	From Santie and John Theron I would like to introduce you to my twins Jeandrè and Adrian. They were born on the 01st of June 2006. They turn 17 months on the 1st of November 2007. We invested in the Practica program when they were 3months. What an amazing program. Jeandrè could clap his hands at 6 months. Both of them could High 5 at 7 months. At the age of 15 months when they should have pointed to 5 different parts of their body, they could do 9. I am not here though to tell you how clever they are, I am here to tell you that Practica does work, but only when you use it. They are at home and we’ve got someone to look after them. The person is also trained in using the Practica manual. It is nice coming home in the evening and see what they have learned. It is also great to know what I can do with them with limited time. Practica however helped us in other ways as well. The first was when one of them did not want to go to sleep and Vanessa suggested that I tell them a story. I followed her advice and problem solved. The second was when one of them woke up at 3:00 in the morning and started crying. As you know, this created a nightmare since they sleep in the same room. Once again I called in the help of the Practica specialists – Solution: Controlled Crying. Within 3 night’s problem solved. However the one thing where Practica made an amazing difference was the fact that they had continuous ear ache. Practica kept on advising you to not let it just slide because this can cause a speech impairment. We read, listened and took action. Thank you for telling us about these things. It makes parenting so much more understanding. Especially if it is you’re first born. Santie and John Theron
	From Louise Rohner Hi there, Jayden Rohner born 23 April 2007 Dad Martin Rohner, Mom Louise Rohner and big sister Justine. Jayden is a practica baby only 5 and half months but it is amazing to see the difference between him and other non practica babies. He loves our bath time activities which was suggested by Practica the peek a boo game and the piggy one to make him aware of his body where it starts and finish. The goodies basket of various texture things to play with that also keeps him busy for a while. We bought it from Vanessa 0212 9137376. Great buy!!!! Kind regards Louise Rohner
	From Jelena Bozek Hi there Vanessa My family invested in the Practica programme in early 2006 which is roughly the time my son Luka was born. Luka is now 20 months old and a day never goes bye in which we do not use some part of the Practica programme. We just love your programme and always recommend it to new parents. Thanks for the great ideas and the invaluable advice. With Kind Regards Jelena Bozek
	From Mandy Vermaak Hi Vanessa, Skyler Rowan Vermaak is now almost 7 months and doing really well. As you can see he loves his Practica shapes and homemade rattles. He started his Practica programme in July. I am still very happy with the programme. Kindest Regards Mandy Vermaak
	From Marilize van Tonder Hi Vanessa. My boy is Divan van Tonder. He is almost 5months old, We joined Practica when he was 3.5months. He enjoys the physical exercises. It's amazing how one can see the improvement at the end of the month. Marilize van Tonder
	From Melanie van Heerden Here are two photos of Nika and Shana van Heerden. Nika is now two years old and Shana is 9 months. We got Practica shortly after Shana’s birth after finding that it’s hard to keep Nika stimulated with no tools to know when to do what type of games. Practica has helped a lot in that respect with Shana. Nika enjoys books and pictures the most – she already has an extended vocabulary. Shana loves playing peek-a-boo and wants to feed everybody! Kind regards Melanie van Heerden
	From Adele Le Roux This is a recent photo of Tyler. He loves practica and talks all the time in baby language to us which is just toooo cute... Regards Adele Le Roux
	From Celesté Smith Hi Vanessa, Here's some photos and detail from George and Celesté Smith of our daughter Danelle. She joined Practica in February 2007. The photo's were taken on her first Birthday - 5th October 2007.Regards, Celesté Smith
	From Annette Mouton Hallo Vanessa Ek hoop dit gaan baie goed met jou! Jy moet ons pragtige Annabelle kom ontmoet wanneer jy 'n tydjie het. Ek het Practica gekoop toe Simon 3 maande oud was en vir my is die leêr met inligting soos 'n Bybel en dis baie gerustellend om sulke goeie riglyne te hê oor hoe jy kind moet vorder. Simon geniet die diertjies wat hy in die vormplaatjies moet pas, baie. Aangesien hy 'n volbloed seuntjie is, verskaf balle en die tuin op die oomblik vir hom sy grootste vreugde. (hy is nou 2 jaar 4 maande) Hy praat ook baie goed vir sy ouderdom en kan instruksies om take uit te voer, baie goed volg, en ek dink dis te dankie aan Practica. (en sy ma wat so baie met hom praat) O ja, die Practica CD speel ons in die motor en sodra ons inklim, vra hy ek moet die eendjies vir hom speel, dan sing ek lustig saam todat hy my stilmaak met: "Moenie sing nie! Moenie sing nie" Duidelik dink hy nie sy mamma het talent in daar die rigting nie! Klein Annabelle is nou 3 maande met wakker ogies wat alles inneem en jou met kwylbekglimlaggies beloon vir 'n bietjie aandag. (Gebore 19 Julie 2007 - Annabelle Janke Mouton) Jy moet lekker bly en laat weet wanneer jy tyd het om 'n teetjie te kom drink. Groete Annette Mouton
	From Anthony & Donna Montagu-Fryer Hi Vanessa Here are a couple of photies of our boys. The toddler's name is Liam and the babies name is Jethro. I have only had Practica for the past week so need to still knuckle down and get reading. Many thanks and kinds regards Anthony & Donna Montagu-Fryer
	From Clare Dodd Vanessa In 2 weeks Emma has grasped 98% of the games and I must say, I am seeing a difference in her alertness and interaction. When I start her on 3 months now over the weekend, can I continue with a few of the 2 month old games as she has only been on the 2 month program for 2 weeks exactly, today. Regards Clare Dodd
	From Danette Higgo. Daniel (05-10-2007), well he is only just over one week old, but his eyes are wide open and ready to start learning. Danette Higgo.
	From Karen Baker Hi Vanessa This is Isabella Rose Baker. We bought Practica in May 2007 (I think). Bella loves the games that involve a little bit of daredevil - anything which means bouncing or falling or "dropping" between knees :-) Kind regards Karen Baker
	From Lisa Ryser Attached is the latest picture of Aurora getting big very quickly, and enjoying Practica! Thanks Lisa Ryser
	From Antonet Van Reenen-Knoetze Hi Vanessa, I’ve only been using Practica for a month now. She’s 2 months old. But I must say, I thoroughly enjoy the games. I’m happy to report that so far she’s met all the milestones. I’m looking forward to each month. I’m a bit sleep deprived and not too proactive at this stage…but I’m trying my best to make use of most of the activities. Having difficulty choosing the correct time for bath, and massages, and when to feed etc, hopefully that will improve in the future. My husband Hates reading, so I’ve been giving him a summery each month. As for our little girl…she started smiling at us recently, so she’s becoming more of a person each day. We love her to bits. Especially when she smiles…it melts my heart. Her name is Duané, (Doe-a-ny) a combination of both our names. (Dad: Dupré & Mom: Antonet) At this stage in her life her favourite thing is eating and chatting with her new friend (the Black & white ‘practica’ face), she also loves to look around and listening to her xylophone and other sounds. But I’m glad to say that her favourite sound is still the sound of my voice. Ha, ha Please take care. Kind Regards Antonet Van Reenen-Knoetze
	From Patricia Bunyan My son, Zach, 6 months old, enjoys the singing and the rhymes. He also enjoys games played on the floor, i.e. where he is learning to crawl with my assistance. He especially likes ball games, watching the ball roll, and noisy games as well. He like riding on my knees and standing up on my lap, he likes being held upside down Regards, Patricia Bunyan
