   Really less than one star! Please people, don’t buy any more videos. Take your kids to the park, on a walk, read with them, play in the bathtub with them, anything. Talk to them and enjoy them and they will talk back. No more silly Baby Einstiens and the rest. How about crayons, and side walk chalk, and blocks. Just be with your kids. Give them your full attention when you are there. You don’t need these viedeos and “smart” products!

   I could do the same. This is boring for me. My baby has shown no interest in it either.

   Don’t waste your money.

   Poor quality both visually and with the sound. The exercises are beneficial though, especially if you incorporate other objects around your house.

   This video is more useful if you interact with it rather than just leave the video on it’s own. The facial expressions scared my son at first. I wish they had smiled more. I would really love this video if just a tad more effort had been put into the quality.

   I do recommend The Baby Society video. My son loved that!

   I bought this dvd thinking it would enhance my 5 month old daughter’s vocalization even though it seemed a bit expensive. She mostly just coos now with an occasional consonant. We had already begun signing for her since she was about 3 months old. I was really excited after reading all the reviews but this dvd just does not hold her attention at all. She would much rather watch her Brainy Baby video. I truly believe in signing to help babies communicate, though. I’ve seen it in action with my nieces. However, I recommend just getting a baby signs book and engaging in some conversation with your baby. Then, get a Brainy Baby video for entertainment. Please note that both were VERY cheaply made. It’s just people manipulating toys to some background music. But at least the Brainy Baby allows me to get some housework done.

   I am sorry I have to write this…but I followed the 5-star reviews (200+ of them) and bought this DVD and am very disappointed with it. My 7 month year old can’t even watch 5 minutes of it before looking somewhere else (She can watch Baby Einstein ALONE for 45 minute to 1 hour with FULL/impossible-to-interrupt attention). In fact, when the lady/teacher’s face is on the screen, my daughter starts crying. I even tried sitting down with her a couple times and try to get her excited to watch the video.

   From a parent perspective, the toys presented and the music presented is so outdated comparing to Baby Einstein. Also, if it is a speech DVD, why are most materials about toys? I forced myself finishing the DVD. There is not much materials being taught: in/out, up/down, a few different vows…many toys being video taped in an unattractive way.

   On top of that, if you return an open-box dvd, you don’t get full $ back. It’s a waste of time and money for me. I am surprised there is no other negative feedback about this product.
