He had to learn the old fashioned way... by following mom and dad and asking, "Whazzat?" a lot.Traci Dolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04310878923054327141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659346512371488571.post-72479851570256452112007-08-09T06:34:00.000-07:002007-08-09T06:34:00.000-07:00To me, there has always been something a bit icky ...To me, there has always been something a bit icky about parents who want their kids to be "Baby Einsteins". I am not for dumbing down or placing the kid in front of Cartoon Planet either but the idea of attempting to make a savant out of a 1 year old just seems a bit self absorbed on the parental level. <BR/><BR/>My daughter in law has bought some of the CDs that you talk about and rather than use them as baby sitters, she uses them as aids to help my granddaughter learn as they watch them TOGETHER, instead of the mindless drivel that is most of broadcast tv. <BR/><BR/>Will my granddaughter get those additional 6 words added to her vocabulary? Don't know, don't really care. I am just glad that she is getting a lot of love, support, guidance and FACE TIME from her mom.<BR/><BR/>You know. The things you were suggesting a child really needs.<BR/><BR/>Now if we could end the war and pay down the deficit and let her not grow up in a world that is far poorer, far dirtier, far meaner and far more dangerous than the one we grew up in.furryriverrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02275713193535182240noreply@blogger.com
