Baby Einsteins Are they Smarter?

The claim always seemed too good to be true: park your infant in front of a video and, in no time, he or she will be talking and getting smarter than the neighbor's kid.
Researchers find that these products may be doing more harm than good. Forty Percent of babies are regular viewers of DVDs, videos or television; by the time they are two years old, almost 90% are spending two to three hours each day in front of a screen. We know that watching television delays language development while children who got daily reading or storytelling time with their parents showed an increase in language skills.
Keep in mind though, the popular baby videos and DVDs were designed to stimulate infants' brains, not necessarily to promote language development the one thing that babies need in the first months of life — face time with human beings. "Every interaction with your child is meaningful, time is precious in those early years, and the newborn is watching you, and learning from everything you do." So just talk to them; they're listening.
