Very good points from all of you but i think the fact of the matter still remains if you choose to use the tv as a babysitter the dvd is terrible for your baby BUT if you limit the time they watch it it WILL NOT HURT i let my baby watch it on those days when i just need to get dinner made then off goes the dvd and back to just chatting with my baby like the article states “THE OVER-USE” can hurt the baby

Absolutely agree with you Morgan, I think A good combination with brain and social brain could make the best balance for our child.

Goonie – There have been several studies and articles written on the negative effects of Baby Einstein as well as other DVD/VHS/CD series. Perhaps parents should revisit their thinking on this matter. Imagine a child who is miles ahead mentally and miles behind socially.
There are those who say that children raised w/ BG are advanced – however, could not the same be said of those children who weren’t raised the same?
In my opinion, we are pushing our children much to hard – could this be because some parents are trying to live their lives vicariously through their child’s achievements? It’s a fact that most killers have a high IQ – it’s their lack of social skills that send them over the edge.
Seung-Hui Cho is a prime example.

Really?
Do we really believe that Baby Genius isn’t leading children towards greater intelligence? Every child I know who was reared on BG is advanced, verbal and very intelligent.

I’m still a fan.
