PHILADELPHIA, PA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/11/08 -- Earth Day 2008 will have a specialsignificance for tens of thousands of young children and their parents thisyear. In addition to attending concerts and exhibitions in citiesthroughout North America and globally, mothers and fathers will bemultiplying their children's intelligence with exciting, beautiful andmeaningful information about the planet their children will soon inherit.Long after most of Earth Day's littlest attendees have forgotten thecoloring and crafting, the balloons and buttons, some fortunate little kidswill have gained something vastly more valuable: knowledge and a love oflearning that will serve them for the rest of their lives.

These are the little children of parents using the innovative earlydevelopment program of The Institutes for the Achievement of HumanPotential (www.iahp.org). Founded by author and educator Glenn Doman, theworld-renowned, nonprofit organization in the rolling hills of Wyndmoor,outside Philadelphia, has given generations of babies the enrichedenvironment that they need and the opportunity that they want to learnabout anything and everything right now -- including planet earth! TheInstitutes' unique perspective is that tiny kids can learn absolutelyanything that can be presented in an honest, factual and joyous way andthat parents are the best teachers.

"New parents discover that they are untrained and unprepared for the mostimportant job they will ever have -- teaching their children. That'sprobably why parents come from all over the world to attend our courses. Bythe end of the course, they have the confidence and the enthusiasm theyneed to give their child the best start in life," says Janet Doman, thedirector of The Institutes. "As Earth Day 2008 approaches, we encourageall who love children to learn more about their tremendous potential.Respect for our earth should include respect for our children. Love andrespect have the power to change the world. This will give our children thelove and respect they need for helping planet earth. This will change theworld."

Parents quickly discover that their children love to learn and that it iseasy to teach a child when the parent knows how. Learning is the highestform of play and little children want to learn everything right now. Theonly real problem is keeping up with the tiny child who learns at anastonishing rate. The cry of "More Mommy!" and "What's next Mommy?" keepsmothers busy creating new materials to feed their children's happy hunger.The Institutes provide reading words, early reading books, Bit ofIntelligence cards, Math cards, Picture Dictionary CDs, and other materialsto help make the adventure easier and faster for parents and kids.

"Of course our children learn and become more capable, more curious andmore creative as a result of learning more about the world around them --this is an inevitable consequence of providing stimulation and opportunity.They are more competent, more capable and more confident as they grown-up.This was our original intention when we began over 50 years ago, but thereis a side effect which we have come to see is even more significant -- itis happiness. It turns out when parents teach their children when they areyoung they love and respect each other more deeply. Parents and childrenlove to learn, they enjoy their lives together, they appreciate each othermore. They develop an intimate, life-long relationship. We see this as themost important outcome of parents teaching their children," says JanetDoman.

The Institutes presents courses and lectures in the U.S.A, Japan, Italy,Mexico, Singapore, Indonesia, China and India. "The best-selling parentingseries ever" was created by Glenn Doman and the staff of The Institutes toensure that all parents would be able to provide an enriched environmentfor their children at home. The Gentle Revolution Series consists of theground-breaking books on early reading, math, encyclopedic knowledge, andphysical excellence and DVDs providing lectures in each of these areas.The most recent additions to the series are "How Smart is Your Baby? aninvaluable guide to the development of the newborn and "How To Teach YourBaby to Swim".
