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.

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.

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.

Truly amazing information. Forget all the fancy toys and games for our babies and children. Let's give them what they really need. This DVD explains child development in easy to understand terms.

I found a copy of this video in the public library in the $1 sale bid. Surprised to see that it was produced by WGBH Boston I was anxious to see the work.

The material is great and provides a great resource for expectant parents. In great detail the commentator explains ways to help your child develop and meet their full potential.

During the ten segments one can learn questions to ask of potential day care facilities. As well, there is even information regarding language impairment. Worth buying and sharing with friends.

This is a nice resource for parenting classes. Dr. Brazelton is pretty cool. It has a lot of information.

Ten Things Every Child Needs did not meet MY needs! I had hoped to share it with young, inexperienced or less well-educated parents whose infants I treat, to improve their parenting skills. The tape was much too long and more oriented to educated and professional people. The VHS format was the only format available. If it were on DVD, it would have helped: a parent might watch selected sections that were most pertinent.

This is a beautiful tape that highlights the key things adults need to know about children. I strongly recommend viewing it. The photos of the children are priceless in the emotion and cognition that they express. My only negative comment is how it is narrated - I would have preferred a voice over and all attention focused on the activities of the children to give a full, mental impact of what shildren nedd from adults!

what are the last two things they need? i watched most of the video but i missed the last two

This wonderful DVD is one every new parent should view and seasoned parents can enjoy reviewing as well. Leaders in the early childhood field share in an education and enjoyable way, the importance of the early years and easy ways parents can support their children's optimal development.
