So I want to be perfectly clear that I do not doubt for one second that you read, talk and play with your baby. It is just those activities are much more beneficial for infants than the tv time. :)Inhaling Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10487999036810367535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18441704.post-78190560284452251812014-02-12T08:55:18.890-06:002014-02-12T08:55:18.890-06:00I started my college career in child development, ...I started my college career in child development, but later decided to switch gears and get a different degree, but also got my elementary teaching credential. I do believe parents with the right dedication, education level, resources, and drive can successfully homeschool. <br /><br />Where I do not think there is success is trying to teach infants from television based learning. All of the research points to movies like baby Einstein being more harmful (shortens attention span, does not teach depth perception, etc etc)than helpful. The baby Einstein corp is GREAT at marketing- I mean who doesn't want a mini-Einstein :)but that is all it is- marketing. You are much better off playing, reading, talking to baby. If you need to get something done is a great distraction, but not beneficial to the child. Check out this TED episode that explains why television in infants should not be considered beneficial :) <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoT7qH_uVNo <br /><br />(or google TED media and children)<br /><br />Sorry, things like Baby Einstein are my pet peeve because they trick so many parents into buying into their products by false advertising..
