DVD Baby Guard – Is it Okay to Let My Baby Watch TV?

howbabylearns — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 09:02:33 +0000

DVD Baby Guard - There are two schools of thought on this. One says that babies under two years of age should not be allowed to watch any TV; the other says that limited amounts of high-quality educational TV accompanied by adult interaction are fine - and may even be beneficial. When DVDs are used correctly, the repetition and familiarity they provide can actually aid learning.

However, no TV at all is better than unsupervised watching. No TV at all is also better than any watching of entertainment-based programs - and that includes shows such as cartoons, which may be designed for kids, but are really not suitable for babies.

What can happen to babies who watch the wrong sort of TV, or watch TV unsupervised?
Child experts in the US have noted a correlation between high TV exposure in babies and toddlers, and the incidence of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. It's possible that watching TV's rapidly shifting images could have a negative impact on brain development in the very young (high-quality educational programs should not have rapidly shifting images though).

Parents should note that even DVDs marketed as educational may be harmful to babies; if they are watched without supervision, that harm is multiplied. In August 2007 Dr Dimitri Christakis and Frederick Zimmerman of the University of Washington published a report on the effects of popular programs such as Baby Einstein and Brainy Baby. They found that for every hour per day spent watching the DVDs, babies learnt six to eight fewer new vocabulary words than babies who had never watched TV. Many of the programs were devoid of language content. But even when it came to shows designed to enhance language acquisition, Christakis says, "Videos of native speakers of languages fail to teach children as well as live speakers do." That's why it's important for an adult to speak or sing along to the DVD being shown.

In October 2007 the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) - which advises that the under-two's not be allowed to watch any TV - published a report on the effects of TV exposure in early childhood. Consistent exposure to two or more hours of TV per day, the academy found, was correlated with a greater incidence of sleep and behavioral problems, as well as less developed social skills. Notes the AAP, "Under age two, talking, singing, reading, listening to music or playing are far more important to a child's development than any TV show."

Shouldn't I follow the advice of the American Academy of Pediatrics to the letter?
Yes - if that's the decision you're most comfortable with. It's worth noting, though, that the type of exposure the academy looked at in its study was unsupervised exposure to entertainment-based programs. We, like the academy, would advise you to spare your baby this sort of TV exposure for at least the first two years.

Many parents and teachers find, however, that high-quality educational TV programs complement interactions with their babies and facilitate learning. Robert Titzer's Your Baby Can Read! and Rachel de Azevedo Coleman's Baby Signing Time! are good examples. The Titzer DVDs show parents the best way to read, repeat and talk about words; parents can also read along with the narrator and talk to their baby about the pictures onscreen. For parents teaching sign language to their baby, Coleman clearly demonstrates how to model signs - a big help and confidence boost to parents learning sign language along with their baby. The songs that accompany the lessons are fun and catchy, with babies' enjoyment of the DVDs increasing as they get to know the music.

How can I be sure I'm getting the balance right?
Interacting with your baby while watching is key. Besides that, you should ensure your baby watches no more than one hour of TV per day. To start off with, you might like to keep it to 15 minutes at a time - your baby will probably find it hard to pay attention for any longer. You can increase the duration later, when your baby starts to recognize and understand the program - and especially, when interactions become a two-way affair.

Any ideas?

My Baby DVD – Make DVDs of My Lovely Baby

howbabylearns — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 09:02:28 +0000

My Baby DVD - What a good news! Our lovely baby will come into the world. How to welcome her?

In fact I have thought this from time to time. Acting on a sudden impulse, my plan is to record her everyday time in growth, then make DVDs and treasure them. Just imagine how warmness it should be when I watch these DVDs with my grown daughter.

Immediately, a problem pops up. How to make DVD from the DVD videos?

After surf for days on the Internet, I have found one software "Any Video to DVD Converter and Burner". I have tried it for times, it works very well. The sound and picture seems good, they are highly synchronized. And I can also add the subtitles which made by myself.

What's the topic of my DVD?
Record her birth;
Record how we feed her, how to teach her to smile, to talk, to walk on the ground;
Record her first smile, first cry, first tumble, first standing up;
And always, we are together with her.

Wonderful idea! It's us to keep her life full. When she replay that DVD, I think she can strongly feel our love. About the software, you can get it from avi to dvd Topviewsoft site. It may bring light to your life, too. Wish you goof luck.

Baby DVD 2009 – Baby Box Office

howbabylearns — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 09:02:21 +0000

Baby DVD 2009 - Every weekend in America movies are rated by the millions of dollars they bring into the box office. Even with the high costs of tickets, 31 millions dollars is a lot of people in the seats. We are a movie culture.

Many people thirty and over remember the very first movie they saw. Children of the next generation aren't as likely to remember that first one though, because they will see it when they were babies.

DVDs for babies seems like a silly idea, but researchers are discovering the added color, movement, lights and sounds introduced to a baby's environment can actually have very positive effects of neurological development. Plug in and watch your child learn and grow.

Make A Genius

For decades it was thought that some kids were born geniuses and some kids weren't. You either came out of the womb as Einstein or as Joe. With vast improvements in understand both babies and intelligence, researchers now know that many children can attain a high IQ and ability simply by the learning and experiences they develop in their primary years.

To further that, the Disney Company has come out with a line of videos and products called Baby Einstein. The Baby Einstein DVDs feature music, sounds, nature, and babies as they explore things like a child's first movements, and sound recognition. Encouraging babies to clap, jump and move help begin the kinesthetic process at a very young age. It doesn't mean your child will do quantum mechanics at 4, but it will add a set of experiences and abilities to their repertoire.

Be Global

With the globalization of both business and education the more languages any person speaks the better off they are. Many schools are developing dual language programs where children can learn in two languages at the same time to make them more fluent in the global village. When is the best time to learn a second language? When you are learning the first one.

Many website features a full line of DVDs for babies that teach language acquisition. Among the languages represented are American Sign Language, Italian, French and Spanish. Using songs and visual word associations these DVDs help a child and the parents learn together.

Speak Local

Language is made of words and the key to development for babies along with the physical abilities is vocabulary development. DVDs have been show to highly improve a baby's ability to form and speak words early. Bee Smart Baby is a DVD vocabulary builder that teaches words with music, games, visuals and repetition.

A testimonial on the website claims their baby had learned 10 words by nine months of age. By using the DVD along with the constant communication parents have with children, new words (that a parent might not think to teach) can be added to the child's vocabulary.

None of these DVDs are ever going to win an Academy Award, but it does appear that the movies, our tried and trusted escape, may actually be helping our children after all.

Baby DVD Reviews – South Park (DVD) Review

howbabylearns — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 09:04:34 +0000

Baby DVD Reviews - Premiering in the late summer of 1997, South Park took American pop culture by storm with its no-holds-barred examination of social and political issues and its lewd yet unique brand of cartoon humor. Created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, South Park is the lynchpin of cable network Comedy Central's original programming lineup. Centered around the lives of several kids in the small Colorado town of South Park (a place prone to odd and paranormal occurrences), the series presents itself in the form of crude animated drawings, yet the concept works, playing home to innumerable well-written shows filled with boundless wit, well-timed one-liners, and an endless array of politically-incorrect humor. Love it or hate it, South Park is a truly original animated series with relentlessly off-the-wall plot twists and comic relief. If you love oddball humor, then this is the show for you...

South Park mostly follows the exploits of four elementary school kids - Cartman (who's overweight and sarcastic), Kyle (who dreams of eliminating his little brother Ike), Stan (who throws up at the sight of a girl he likes), and Kenny (who manages to get killed in every episode). All four attend South Park Elementary School where third grade teacher Mr. Garrison educates them with the use of a hand-puppet named "Mr. Hat" and cafeteria employee "Chef" McElroy (Isaac Hayes) dispenses his advice while periodically breaking into 70's love songs about making love to women. South Park is the setting for numerous oddities such as alien visitors, a monster with a hand of celery and the leg of Patrick Duffy, and Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride. South Park also hosts a number famous people from time to time, such as the Devil, Saddam Hussein, the Antichrist, Kathy Lee Gifford, Scott Baio, Tina Yothers, Elton John, and Jesus Christ - who has his own cable access show.

The South Park DVD features a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe" in which Kyle tries to rid himself of his baby brother Ike by playing a game of "kick the baby" at the bus stop. Meanwhile, Cartman reveals to his friends that he had a nightmare in which he was abducted by aliens, leading Stan, Kyle, and Chef to the conclusion that aliens inserted an anal probe in Cartman. As cows are mutilated in South Park, Cartman continues to live in denial of the alien machine residing in his anus... Other notable episodes from Season 1 include "An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig" in which Kyle's science project to cross-breed an elephant with a pig is made possible when Chef and Elton John create the necessary atmosphere for proper loving-making, and "Pink Eye" in which Kenny dies early in the episode but is turned into a zombie by accident...

Baby DVD Learning – How to Make a Smart Baby

howbabylearns — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 09:03:36 +0000

Baby DVD Learning - If intelligence is the ability to learn, then babies are born geniuses! While babies' brains have the potential to learn just about anything, parents have an important part to play in determining just how much - and how easily - their baby learns. Here, we discuss the key issues to bear in mind when teaching your baby.

A unique window of opportunity: five months' gestation to five years of age
The younger the brain, the more malleable it is - that's why small children are like sponges. The brain builds itself by forming connections in response to the stimulation it receives. A baby begins responding to sound during month five in the womb, when her sense of hearing becomes fully developed. This means that learning begins before birth.

After birth, the brain continues wiring itself in response to the baby's experiences of the world. Learning is faster and more effortless than it will ever be again. Acquiring our native language from birth guarantees proficiency, regardless of how linguistically gifted we turn out to be as adults - and the same holds true for other subjects. Everyone can become proficient in reading, math or music, so long as they begin learning as babies.

- Babies love to learn!
Babies' brains are hardwired for learning, making babies the most avid students in the world. What's more, babies and small children carry none of the baggage that comes from being sent to school and being subjected to quizzes, tests and examinations. For babies, learning is pure enjoyment.

- Teaching should never be forced
Regular practice is important, but not to the point of forcing. Above all, your child should enjoy the learning process. Hold lessons only when he is receptive, and end them before he loses interest.

- Play is essential
Babies and children need time to explore the world around them, pick up objects and examine them, and get to grips with the laws of nature. Your baby should spend the majority of her waking hours engaged in hands-on play.

- Relax and have fun!
Avoid focusing on having your child achieve specific knowledge goals. Treat lesson time instead as an opportunity for strengthening the parent-child bond. Teaching your baby should never become a source of stress for either one of you. If you feel this is happening, reevaluate your approach or trim down the lesson program as necessary.

Help! I don't have time
Teaching babies used to be a time-heavy commitment, with parents having to make their own flash cards and other materials. These days, high-quality book-, DVD- and software-based programs mean that no lesson preparation is required. As for giving lessons, this takes as little as five minutes per day.

If you use DVD or software-based programs, be aware that babies should only look at a screen for short periods of time. In this article on TV + Computers, you can find out more on making TV and computer use safe and beneficial for babies.

Help! I don't know where to start
With so much information available, it can be tough to know where to begin. Working parents, don't despair - you can glean the basics of baby education in just 10 minutes from our Busy Parent's Guide. From there, getting going is a breeze - and don't be afraid to start small. It's the right program if it works for you and your baby!

Teaching Your Baby To Read
As increasing numbers of children are learning to read words by the age of one, and books by age three, the idea that children can only begin reading from age five or six has come into serious question. Children who've learnt to read as babies have a much easier time reading in the first and second grade. What's more, almost all babies love to read!

Baby DVD Learning – Why Teach Your Baby to Read

howbabylearns — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 09:03:12 +0000

Baby DVD Learning - It is important that you teach your baby to read as young as possible. Why? Because there is simply no better time in a child's life for learning than when they are between 3 months old and their 5th birthday. During this time, their brains are rapidly developing, and as a result, they are sponges for knowledge. Since being able to read is the cornerstone of any successful education, the earlier they start the better. All too often parents leave educating their children up to the public schools, which explains why the Unites States is currently ranked 18th in its literacy rate.

There are many reasons why you should teach your baby to read. It provides brain stimulation during the crucial time when his or her brain is developing. It has also been shown to increase the baby's IQ. Most importantly though, it gives your child a head start in life. The sooner they begin to read, the sooner they can begin to learn other subjects. This way, by the time your child begins school, he or she will already know what is being taught, and will be put on the fast track, maybe even skipping a grade down the road.

One of the cases which really began to bring the fact that babies can learn to read to the public's attention was 17 month old Elizabeth Barrett who appeared on the Today show. This was a fascinating story because she was given a series of words and even sentences that she read quite well. Her parents had been reading to her since she was born and had provided her with a very early education. There have also been various books written on the subject such as the excellent book How To Teach Your Baby To Read by Glenn and Janet Doman.

You want to give your child the best chance at succeeding in life, which is why it is so important to begin their education as early as possible. Reading is the most important thing to teach them at this age. It doesn't have to be stressful or difficult on your child though. Learning can be fun at such a young age, and it is accomplished so easily that they won't have to struggle in order to learn. In fact, when you use the proper materials, they will look forward to learning.

If you are interested in teaching your infant to read, then the best way to start is by spending just a few minutes a day. Flash cards are a very effective tool. Simply show your baby the word and then flip it over to show them the matching picture on the opposite side. There are videos as well that help teach babies to read. Although some parents may avoid these if they do not want their children watching television at such a young age.

There is no better time to teach your baby to read than the present. Begin looking for learning materials that your baby may enjoy. Such materials can be found on Web sites. This site offers a DVD, flash cards, toys, and more, all with the purpose of teaching your child to read. The Basic Starter Reading Kit that the site offers contains the DVD and 4 sets of flash cards, each covering a total of 40 words. The DVD, Monki See Monki Doo: Baby's First Words, provides an excellent starting place and covers the most important words, such as the parts of the body and familiar terms such as mommy, daddy, baby, and bottle.
