The name "Baby Einstein" can trick parents into believing it's okay or even good for their babies to watch it, but the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no television AT ALL to children under 2 because so many studies have proven its harmful effects on children. Studies have shown that: - for every hour of television a baby watches a day, their chances of acquiring an attention deficit disorder increases by 10%. - among babies ages 8 months to 16 months, every hour spent daily watching programs such as 'Brainy Baby' or 'Baby Einstein' translated into six to eight fewer words in their vocabularies as compared with other children their age." - brain wave activity in babies is slower when watching television than when sleeping. "Signing Time" (Two Little Hands Productions) DVDs is an excellent option for OCCASIONAL video viewing because communicating in sign language with your child is proven to: - reduce frustration and tantrums - accelerate language development - promote parent-child bonding Last thing for new moms - carrying newborn babies (in arms or next to body) an extra 3 hours a day resulted in 40% less crying. So carrying baby in a carrier or sling can help calm fussy babies!Read full review
I like this video because it has basic sounds. "Ba-Ba", "Da-Da", etc...Things my 8 month old is saying, so he likes to watch it. There are lots of cute puppets and stories. Even my husband got a kick out of it. This video also has a nice mix of foreign language to get him used to the sounds of a different world. We really love watching this video together!!
Some parts of this dvd are great - the colors, sights and sounds are perfect...but it is MULTILINGUAL...that does not mean that you can listening to it in different languages - it means that the DVD changes from scene to scene to different languages. Since my daughter is just learning how to say the basics "mama, Uh-Oh, Dada" I think this DVD could be quite confusing for her. The rec age is 6 months - I don't believe this should be experienced until 1.5+...I don't want her to say Papa instead of dada...Not a great DVD:-(
I have never viewed this product. It was purchased as a Christmas present for my great nephew, therefore, I cannot leave an appropriate review. My neice is a school teacher and she requested a Baby Einstein DVD for my nephew. I've heard they are wonderful DVD's. I also bought another Baby Einsein DVD for my other great newphew & neice!!!
This is an exciting way for little one to learn!
