Spencer Doman: Raising Smarter, Happier Kids—The Doman Method Explained

Spencer Doman joins me to share the life-changing philosophy behind The Doman Method, a globally respected approach to child brain development that’s helped thousands of children, including those with autism and developmental delays, reach their fullest potential.

We talk about the real science of early learning, why the first three years of life are the most important for brain growth, and how everyday parents can shape their child’s cognitive, physical, and emotional foundation—no degree or fancy preschool required.

Spencer explains why movement is brain-building, how screens affect speech and social skills, and what parents can do to nurture strong language, balance, coordination, and curiosity from birth. He also opens up about his grandfather Glenn Doman’s pioneering work, his family’s legacy, and how The Doman Method continues to transform lives today.

Whether you’re a new parent, a soon-to-be parent, or raising a neurodivergent child, this conversation will inspire you to rethink everything you’ve been told about learning—and rediscover your power as your child’s first and most important teacher.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The six pillars of early development: vision, hearing, movement, manual skills, balance, and language
• The link between tummy time, crawling, and reading
• Why real human connection—not screens—builds the strongest brains
• How parents can naturally boost their child’s learning in just 10 minutes a day
• Hope and healing for children with autism and developmental delays
