Well all the talk lately is about the Walt Disney Series called Baby Einstein and their videos.
Apparently there were issues brought up about whether or not the Baby Einstein videos were in fact educational or not.
Personally, I love the Baby Einstein videos and I would purchase them all over again for my daughter. However, please remember that is my personal point of view. My daughter loved the videos and honestly, I never thought when I purchased the videos that they would make my daughter a genius or anything of the sort! But that is just me. Everyone must form their own personal opinion of course.
I am not going to attempt to summarize the articles that have recently come out in the news. You can take a look at them yourself. Here is a link to one of the articles.
I personally think that it is a shame that Disney is offering people a refund for their videos. I am sure that many children enjoyed hours of enjoyment from the videos and honestly, if you are letting your child watch
television for the purpose of educating them and creating a genius, you are in my opinion off to the wrong start!
Here is a link to another news article from a Canadian perspective.
You can also take a look at our article where Expecting Mom Baby Blog previously blogged about the Baby Einstein videos.
Please read everything and leave us your comments for everyone to see. And please remember that comments whether they are ours or anyone who writes in to us are simply that one person's point of view. Everybody must form their own opinions.
I’m amazed that they are offering such a generous refund policy! I can’t believe that anyone is naive enough to think their baby will become a genius — we all know that it’s just clever marketing to call it Baby Einstein Videos and it was and is cute! Same can be said for Baby Genius. And they do offer quality viewing in my opinion — whether it’s educational or not is anyone’s guess and likewise as to if it’s harmful. We have the World of Animals DVD and he likes it. I don’t know what’s the difference between a baby looking at beautiful colorful images on the television or in a book — I can’t see a lot of harm in either. My grandson enjoys televison but he’s not glued to it and he’s 2 and has watched since 9 months old. He does prefer teletubbies because he loves the parts in between where they show real kids engaging in activities. Television is in every home in North America – a permanent part of our culture – love it or hate it — and in the end a personal choice!
Thanks for the comment. I agree with you totally.
