*Sighs* Parents............THIS IS WHY YOU CANNOT RELY ON TECHNOLOGY TO TEACH YOUR CHILDREN!!!!!!!!!

Buff Daddy

I can't believe people would think that by watching these DVD's their kid would be smarter.

Buff Jnr has one of the DVD's - he liked it because it was entertaining and had teddy bears and trains etc on it.

Buff Very Happy

Beagle On Stage

It's such an insult that the article claims this news "rocked the parenting world." The dumbshits that thought these products were anything more than fun videos with (at best) limited brain-enhancement value do not make up the "parenting world" as a whole.

There is no substitute for giving your children the attention and guidance they need. That's day one stuff.

SmallTownIngenue

Wow.

I think people need to take a test before they have children.

Although on the subject of Baby Enstein, one of their programs was on HBO Family once and I was kind of mesmerized by it. I'm 18 years old. Maybe they should refocus the age group to teenagers. Laughing

Pounce

It reminds me of our former governor Zell Miller who in 1998 provided to mothers of new borns a CD of classical music. He believed that it would boost the child's intelligence. So in another 7 years from now a wave of Georgia "super babies" with telekinetic powers will be entering our colleges and universities. 'Bout time

The Drama Queen

I use Baby Einstein videos all the time at the childcare where I work. It is an effective tool to calm down screaming kids- not always, but sometimes. The kids eyes definitely aren't glued to the TV when they watch it and I think that it's more the music that calms them then anything else.

I don't think it's completely un-brain-stimulating. I was watching a one-year-old just last night, and she began imitating the sounds she heard from the Baby Doolittle video. Not perfectly, but I definitely heard a distinct "at" from cat and "ah" from dog.
