Rating:  - Pediatric WarningYour child would love watching this video, but she'd also love eating cotton candy and drinking grape soda. Many pediatric and psychological studies have shown that young children know FEWER words for every hour they spend watching videos like this one. Why? Because they aren't spending time with YOU, practicing their language and social skills. There's also evidence that young children who watch TV have a greater risk of developing ADHD. Last, toddlers who grow up in homes with the TV always on in the background literally seem to have more trouble hearing themselves think. This hurts their developing linguistic abilities and consequently their abilities to engage silent reasoning. Please protect your child -- don't let her watch any TV during her early, crucial, developmental years. We only watch TV when our little girl is asleep. Update: France just banned TV programming directed at infants. From the Associated Press: updated 3:35 p.m. ET, Wed., Aug. 20, 2008 PARIS - France's broadcast authority has banned French channels from airing TV shows aimed at children under 3 years old, to shield them from developmental risks it says television viewing poses at that age. The High Audiovisual Council, in a ruling published Wednesday, said it wanted to "protect children under 3 from the effects of television." France's minister for culture and communication, Christine Albanel, issued a "cry of alarm" to parents in June about channels dedicated 24 hours a day to baby-targeted programming. In a newspaper interview, she called them "a danger" and urged parents not to use them to help their children get to sleep. Story continues below advertisement She was referring to two foreign channels that can be seen in France on cable television, BabyFirstTV and Baby TV. The council's ruling aims to prevent the development of such programming on French channels. It also orders French cable operators that air foreign channels with programs for babies to broadcast warning messages to parents. The messages will read: "Watching television can slow the development of children under 3, even when it involves channels aimed specifically at them." The ruling cites health experts as saying that interaction with other people is crucial to early child development. "Television viewing hurts the development of children under 3 years old and poses a certain number of risks, encouraging passivity, slow language acquisition, over-excitedness, troubles with sleep and concentration as well as dependence on screens," the ruling said.

With Backyardigans, Dora, Blues Clues, Little Einsteins, and other interactive cartoons, Baby Einstein doesn't really offer anything. With today's technology and computers for families, I almost feel I could make a video of the same caliber that would offer more images for my children to relate to. Rating:  - Good but marred by adsThe video itself is great, but I find it abhorrent that it begins and ends with ads (for other products by the Baby Einstein company). If some beancounter at Disney felt that they really had to include ads, they could easily have added a menu choice offering information on their other related products. But no, they placed a video announcement for these products right within the play -- as the first thing you see after selecting play, and the last thing after the video itself ends. So you'll get to hear those ads each and every single time you play the DVD. Rating:  - Actually soothes my infant into a nap!My baby is not a great napper. When she'd come home from "daycare" and needed to unwind I've put this on to try to get some stuff done in the kitchen for dinner just to keep her occupied. Instead of it keeping her occupied it actually puts her in a trance and she's usually asleep by the 12 min marker. For this reason alone I will take it! She just sometimes needs something calm and soothing to get her to come down from her busy day. This also helps because i dont have to feel bad that she's watching too much tv if it actually puts her to sleep. I have to add that it doesn't put her to sleep because its boring, but because its so soothing. I love it. The Lullaby Time DVD hasn't even worked as good as this one. Rating: - works wonders!!!My 8 month old son loves this dvd!!! We have a few of the Baby Einstein dvds and this is by far his favorite! It is constant music with colors and shapes and toys!! |
