Baby Einstein - Baby Mozart - Music Festival
It's called "the Mozart Effect," the notion that exposing youngsters to the melodies of the maestro can improve verbal ability, spatial intelligence, creativity, and memory. It's a pretty big leap of faith to understand that effect unless you personally see a toddler react to the stimulation. The Baby Einstein folks have a series of tapes (Baby Einstein, Baby Bach) that add visual stimulation to the bouncy recordings (using vibraphone, Rhodes electric piano, and even a glockenspiel). The melodies are heard against colorful imagery of spinning tops, wave machines, soft baby toys, mobiles, and the like. Several parenting groups and magazines have heralded the tapes for children 1 to 36 months, but the Orwellian aspect of introducing babes in arms to the TV screen may cause many to just pick up the CD. --Doug Thomas

(Tiera F. Betts, 2009-08-09) I have a very fussy baby and she loves this video. We put a DVD player in the car on the back of the seat and popped in this video and no more screaming! She is 4 months old.
(A. M. Bradley, 2009-05-19) These videos are FANTASTIC... if you're interested in a cheap mind-numbing babysitter and teaching your children nothing more than how to watch television. Please please, if you are a concerned parent, do your research about these videos! I received several of these videos when my daughter was 7 months old (she's two now) and I agree with several of the other reviews that they are nothing but a series of commercialized toys in a very cheaply made setting with synthesized music. What are babies going to learn from that? They did nothing for my daughter. I wrote a research paper on the topic of these videos and after examining several recently published studies as well as a good deal of other information pertaining to the topic, frankly, I agree that not only are babies just too young to process what they are seeing (especially in such a rapid secession) but that it can actually hinder their development in speech and attention span. PARENTS!!!! READ THIS BOOK: THE ELEPHANT IN YOUR LIVING ROOM: MAKE TELEVISION WORK FOR YOUR KIDS by DIMITRI CHRISTAKIS. This book compiles a great deal of research in one place and is laid out in a very cohesive and interesting manner geared towards parents which attempts to make sense of how you can actually make television an educational experience for your children.
