5.0 out of 5 stars Great for new parents and daycare providers, early educators, July 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Ten Things Every Child Needs [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is an extrememly concise, but informativeand entertaining video about how crucial it is that early on children get interaction with adults that can aid their brain development. I teach high risk parents of infants, some of whom have been neglectful and abusive. The video says volumes in a clear way how if children don't get the right stimulation, it can be devestating.

5.0 out of 5 stars Even more than I expected, August 14, 2002

This review is from: Ten Things Every Child Needs [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I thought this might be a run of the mill parenting video, but was pleasantly surprised at the quality of information, the way it was presented and the fact that it seems appropriate for mothers and professionals working with families alike. I also use this video to do parent training for teen boys and girls so that they can understand that babies and children need far more than to have their basic physical needs met.
I am a children's mental health therapist and do training for therapeutic foster parents, in addition to working with the families of our program's foster children. I would highly recommend it for parents and for professionals working in the field of child development for training purposes for families and staff alike.

This review is from: Ten Things Every Child Needs For the Best Start In Life! (DVD)

I used this DVD with college students learning about human development. Using experts in the field, such as Brazelton and trained teachers working directly with children in an inner city day care center, this DVD gives specific examples of what helps and what hinders healthy development. My only reservation about the content was the implication of dire consequences if a child did not receive these opportunities at a given age. Adults have similar needs and it is never too late to heal and learn the value of self esteem, music, play, care, touch, etc. That said, care givers of young children will benefit from the ideas presented in this well-scripted and interesting DVD.
