 Can't go wrong.... April 25, 2008
Can't go wrong if your child loves these videos. My grandson watches them over and over and over and over......
 There are better DVD's out there February 3, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
If you really want your child to learn sign language, this is not the greatest DVD. The "My Baby Can Talk" series is better (no, I don't work for them.)This BE DVD goes too fast to teach little ones signs, and is boring for both me and my little one! There's also "Baby Signing Time" (good but annoying songs, however the little guy likes it) and "Talking Hands" (looks a bit dated but has the best pace for learning).Wouldn''t buy this DVD again had I previewed it first.
 AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS RECOMMENDS NO TV FOR CHILDREN UNDER 2! January 15, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
The name "Baby Einstein" can lull you into thinking it's okay or even good for babies to watch t.v., 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.
I believe television should be used SPARINGLY and with caution, and without any delusions of it increasing baby's intelligence. As for making them more intelligent, Dr. William Sears says, "relationships, not things, make babies smarter." The easiest way to make babies smarter and calmer is to carry them a lot. Slings, pouches and carriers help make this more manageable. Studies have shown that:
- carrying babies an extra 3 hours a day resulted in 40% less crying.
Babies who are frequently carried are proven to pick up verbal skills faster, and develop better core muscle strength and balance. My Listmania list "Natural Parenting for Baby's First Year" has more information on babywearing, or you can google "babywearing" or "television and baby studies" for your own research.
Crown Crafts The Original NoJo BabySling by Dr. Sears - Black Chambray is a great starter sling.
Finally, I'd suggest "SIGNING TIME" videos - not to be confused with "Baby Signing Time" - as a last resort instead of other baby videos because at least baby can learn sign language. Sign language is proven to:
- reduce frustration and tantrums
- accelerate language development
- promote parent-child bonding
I found the entire series at my local library. I especially liked Signing Time! Volume 4: Family, Feelings & Fun DVD and 'naming' feelings also increases emotional intelligence in babies.
Great Product! December 28, 2007
Our son loves these DVDs. He's been signing since he was 8 or 9 months, before he was walking, and he learned a lot of signs from these DVDs.
Great for problem solving and alternative learning skills. Now he can communicate easily verbally and through signs at 18 months. Reduces frustration for both he and his parents!
We limit his TV time to these DVDs and a few other educational programs a day, and it has really seemed to help him develop.
We highly recommend any of the baby Einstein DVDs, especially the ones with signing!
Improved Communication! November 19, 2007
My daughter has always loved BE videos. I was excited when this one came out because she is speech impaired. I had already taught her some basic signs but this video (and all the other BE videos with sign) helped her gain some new signs and a new confidence in communication. Once my daughter learns a sign she soon tries to speak the word as well. We are now teaching my son signs even though he shows no impairment in speech. I would recomend any BE video and encourage parents to try signing with their children sppech impaired or not.
