Baby Einstein Videos...  

I have always believed that TV should not be used as a babysitting tool. I can't imagine sitting my child in front of the TV for hours on end. I do let my small children watch TV in moderation. It is on in the background most of the time while they are playing and they watch it when something catches their eyes. I don't think it will hurt their intelligence or their attention span because I am a very active mother and am constantly challenging them in everyway possible. Sometimes I feel like parents are looking for something to blame other than themselves for a child's deficits. I do not think Disney should be sued for deceptive advertising. Buyer beware. Parents need to accept the responsibility of the outcome of their own children and stop blaming others.

In my opinion, I don't think it is good to have prolonged time on T.V. or videos. I left my children to watch educational CD when they were 1 year old. At 1 year old, I gave them the time spent on educational CD for maximum 15 minutes. When they were 2 years old onwards, I let them watch 15to 30 mins max. Eye break or relax after 30 minutes. I prefer to give flash card when they were young to train up their attention span and bond with your children.
