2.0 out of 5 stars Adequate -- but too expensive for what it offers, September 1, 2004

This review is from: Child Development: First Two Years [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video is instantly dated by the fuzzy look, the late 80s/early 90s fashions, and the presenter's stilted, infomercial speaking style.

The information given is very basic. I got as much if not more information and specifics from an article in a baby magazine.

The presenter speaks at a rapid-fire pace, so you have to hit the pause button if you want to make a comment to your husband or partner.

What bothered me most is that each stage or aspect covered was given barely more than a sentence or two -- for instance, potty training is covered with a statement about not chastising the child's actions during this stage, then we see a 3 min interlude of a cute kid throwing toys and paper into a toilet then flushing. That's about it.

I wanted much more for the money. Much more....

This review is from: Child Development: First Two Years [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Theorist have pointed to concepts that highlight the importance of providing consistent, stable, authoritative parenting during the first three years of life to set a solid foundation for development in children. Understanding what children are experiencing and how it contributes to cognitive and emotional development, learning about safe environments, and knowing how to parent and nurture a child will help create the best possible way to help children learn, grow, and develop. This tape does a beautiful job of quickly toching on the key emphasis areas through the first two years. I would strongly recommend this film to new mothers and anyone who needs an understanding of what children need!

This review is from: Child Development: First Two Years [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This was an excellent video. I used it for a parenting class for young mothers and they too found it very helpful. The format was easy to follow and the wording was easy to understand. The pictures were of real situations and were easy to relate to. The content was excellent showing the stages of development well in the time period of the video. There was some multicultural content as one of the children and his parents were oriental but I would have liked to have seen a little more as the audience was from a variety of cultures. A great review for second time parents and a valuable resourse for new parents. Well done!
