 A Very Calming Video for Kids & Adults January 27, 2008
My son loves this video but I think I love it more. It is so calming and wonderful that we use it as a night time video for all of us to relax before we go to sleep. It is so nice with the beautiful calming music and the water and little animals. I would definitely recommend this video for people who want to calm their children or themselves down at night before bedtime.
Love Baby Enstein!!! January 18, 2008
My Granddaughter loves this movie. I think it could use more kids and baby faces in it, but it is a great movie.
 TV and videos are not good for babies under 2 January 15, 2008
1 out of 8 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.
confusing January 11, 2008
This dvd was very confusing. My three kids are big fans of baby eistein. It has way too many languages. Doesn't make sence.
VERY disappointing November 19, 2007
We have couple of baby Einstein videos and my son loves them - except for this one. I was very disappointed, unlike the other BE videos, this one is boring and he won't pay attention to it. Using of so many languages in this video is confusing for kids {if they actually watched it} and I don't get what is the point of it. Don't waste your money on this one.
