Good decision.

And i also have heard about an institute called Kathalaya - which is also giving training and placements globally.

Hi ,

Even i am interested in this field. I am searching to know details in this field for quite some time. There is a popular person in this field in chennai who will not help you in this regard unfortunately. Until recently i had very high regards for her. only when i started analysing in net ,i came to know the method she uses to make money is not hers,but is available for free over the internet.The cleverest thing is that she does not print the materials and everything is hand written. U got my point? If it is printed would be caught in copy rigts act!

But my best suggestion would be to do some diploma in child psychology from reputed university. Read lot of articles available on net. Let me know if you want to proceed this as a career or its for your kid's sake. If it is for personal benifit i will let you know the various sites giving lot of tips.

Yes montessori is a good methodology even if u don't aspire to be a teacher. This deals with child pshycology too.You need to learn a lot.

Plz let me know if you get any useful info from any source. Mail me at poomeena@gmail.com as i don't usually visit this site often
