She stopped using the rigid principles of Doman's technique and reworked it, creatively adapting it to her needs, adding her non-recklessness and emotionality. The woman described the methods of development of children and the results she had obtained with their help in her book "Practical Guide" Believe in Your Child ". Also in France, she founded the community with the same name. At the moment, a lot of people around the world use your method.
At the very beginning of the period of motherhood, Cecil heard about the technique of GlenDoman and was very interested in her, even visited his weekly seminar in America. The methodology suited her and, infected with Doman's enthusiasm, Lupanstal deal with her daughter, who at that time was eight months old, using mathematical cards with points drawn on them. However, on this path she encountered certain difficulties, and although she succeeded in some success, her daughter was not particularly interested in this. After some time, Cecile departed from this technique, but retained those principles that worked:
The best teachers for the child are always his parents;
Teaching should be given in the form of a game and stop it before the child gets tired of it;
Do not check the child;
To maintain curiosity, you should use the novelty and speed.
Using these four principles, as well as the techniques that Lupan subtracted from various books and suggested by her theatrical training, she eventually formed a system of games and exercises for children from the youngest age, which are based on the formation of their personal traits and the disclosure of the potential built into them.
The woman trusted her intuition and concluded that the child is not a vessel that the teacher should fill, but the fire that the teacher must ignite. It is not necessary to train a child according to a strict schedule, as is done in Doman's method, but to try to develop the child's innate talents, sensitively catching, than at this particular moment the child is interested and, at the top of this interest, conduct classes that will be devoted to this topic (which is basic, say , in the Montessori method). Contrary to what Doman says, the child's brain should not be loaded with information, but it is necessary to teach him how to process this information and generalize it. That is, you should not just tell the kid that it's carrots, and in the form of an account to beat the story about how this vegetable is grown, what can be taken and so on.
The fundamental principle of the Lupan method is that learning should be fun, both for the kid and for his parents. Children should learn with interest and ease.
The main idea is that in reality the child requires inattention in the form of guardianship, and attention in the form of interest. If you are too intrusive to the child, it prevents him from expressing himself creatively, and too-compulsive help can be perceived as a violation of the boundaries of personal space. Lupine argues that one should not use any means to achieve maximum efficiency and try to use every second to derive maximum benefit from it. The child should often be left alone with him, so that he can independently do what he is interested in.
And of course, trying to develop the child's intelligence as fully as possible, you should not do this, forgetting about his feelings. You need to give him your love, hugs and kisses. If a child is firmly convinced that his parents love him and have a positive idea, then his development goes much faster than other children, he is happy to learn the world, seeks as much as possible and easily finds a common language with others, easily adapting to any social conditions .
Moreover, Cecil says in his book, we must not forget that the education of a child is a heavy daily, and that there is one-second hard work.
The birth of the second child showed Lupan that children may be unlikely to be different from each other, and that in their education it should be as flexible and sensible as what is great for teaching a single child may be completely unacceptable when teaching another. For this reason, Cecil warns parents that it is not necessary to follow blindly all the Soviets and perform all the exercises that were developed by her.
