During our Holiday Gift Guide and Giveaway Season I had a chance to work with Christy, a momprenuer that created a series of education learning tools for babies and toddlers. Teach My sounds like an amazing tool, but since I have no children in this age range we opted for a giveaway. I never heard how much the winner liked the product, but I did notice that many families rely on Teach My to help their young children learn. With this in mind, I contacted Christy one more time to see what she was up to and to ask her about the products that she created.
As a parent both the Teach My Baby and Toddler products are incredibly exciting. There is nothing that beats seeing your child learn something
new when they are that young. I am sure that had something to do with the decision to create these learning systems. Could you please tell us what convinced you that you needed to create the Teach My products?
I was at home with my 18 month old son and I wanted to teach him the basics. I went to lots of stores looking for an all-in-one solution. I
didn’t find anything, so I knew there was a gap in the market! Additionally, my son began to read at the age of 3 as a direct result of the box of teaching tools I had created. Parents began to ask me how I had taught him, so I knew an all-in-one learning kit would be a big success!
You created the first Teach My product in 2007, which led to the next product coming out in 2009. Do you have any other Teach My products in the works?
I’m currently in the final stages of creating Teach My Preschooler. I’m aiming for an August 2010 launch!
It has to feel great knowing that you’re helping kids to learn new things. How has the response been from the parents that use your products? Any
memorable responses you’d like to share?
I receive wonderful e-mails from parents all of the time raving about the virtues of Teach My Toddler & Teach My Baby. My favourite was a Youtube
video uploaded by a proud parent of her 15 month old son. It is really quite amazing how much he has learned just by using Teach My Toddler!
As a mompreneur are these the only products that you have created?
Teach My is my first run at being an inventor and a mompreneur.
What advice would you like to give to working mothers that want to educate their young children?
A healthy combination of reading aloud, trips to the library, educational cd-roms, educational DVD’s and of course, Teach My Baby, Teach My Toddler
and Teach My Preschooler (when it launches)!
If you could plug the Teach My products one more time, what would you want to remind my readers?
I have designed Teach My products to make life simpler for busy parents. I suggest just 20 minutes a day with Teach My Baby or Teach My Toddler. The
kits are a great way to spend focused one-on-one time doing something educational while having fun at the same time! www.teachmy.com
