DESCRIPTION:From the moment babies are born, they use their developing senses to discover the world. In terms of sight, bold patterns in contrasting colors or black and white are initially preferred. As for sounds, Mother s gentle voice, in any language, is music to baby's ears. Language Nursery: Voices From Many Lands acquaints your baby with the sounds of foreign language by presenting delightful, visually stimulating images accompanied by spoken passages, natural sounds and music -- including nursery rhymes sung by mothers in their native languages of English, French, German, Hebrew, Japanese, Russian and Spanish. It's a rich, multicultural experience you and your baby can share as you watch, listen and play together! END

Why would you use all the languages in one track?
Too confusing. I thought this dvd would have a spanish track where it woul go through all the attractions in that language and not just combine the whole thing. I would not recommend this dvd, there are better dvds that baby einstein has. Don't buy this one.

I don't understand what is this Video all about
What is this video suppose to be? Images and text don't even connect, it does not catches babies interest... If you want to start your baby with a foreign language you should better try Little Pim series which both catches the baby's attention and is of great educational quality.Little Pim: 3-Disc Gift Set (Spanish)Little Pim: 3-Disc Gift Set (Mandarin Chinese)Little Pim: 3-Disc Gift Set (French)

Bad for the developing mind
Your child would love watching this video, but she'd also love eating cotton candy and drinking grape soda. Many pediatric and psychological studies have shown that young children know FEWER words for every hour they spend watching videos like this one. Why? Because they aren't spending time with YOU, practicing their language and social skills. There's also evidence that young children who watch TV have a greater risk of developing ADHD. Last, toddlers who grow up in homes with the TV always on in the background literally seem to have more trouble hearing themselves think. This hurts their developing linguistic abilities and consequently their abilities to engage silent reasoning.
Please protect your child -- don't let her watch any TV during her early, crucial, developmental years. We only watch TV when our little girl is asleep.
Do a little research on this and you'll be glad you didn't buy this video.

Help make bathtime more fun!
My 6 month old son has been watching this video on and off for 2 months and LOVES it. I honestly think he loves bathtime more since his introduction to water on the video.
There is a good balance of puppets, real video and animation. Another good Baby Einstein video!

Baby Neptune
Both of my kids love this video. I am not a big believer in TV so this is pretty much all they get. On an 8 hour road trip it kept my 11month from screaming. I am not even sure how many times he watched this!

Another disappointed parent
Like some of the other reviewers I've been reading I was also disappointed in this video. I think this would have been much better if the visuals related to the audio. Really this might as well be a bunch of random sounds and pictures. I believe it would have been much more enriching if the audio and visual matched so that baby could put the sounds in context.

A Very Calming Video for Kids & Adults
My son loves this video but I think I love it more. It is so calming and wonderful that we use it as a night time video for all of us to relax before we go to sleep. It is so nice with the beautiful calming music and the water and little animals. I would definitely recommend this video for people who want to calm their children or themselves down at night before bedtime.

Love Baby Enstein!!!
My Granddaughter loves this movie. I think it could use more kids and baby faces in it, but it is a great movie.

TV and videos are not good for babies under 2
The name "Baby Einstein" can lull you into thinking it's okay or even good for babies to watch t.v., but the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no television at all to children under 2 because so many studies have proven its harmful effects on children. Studies have shown that:
- for every hour of television a baby watches a day, their chances of acquiring an attention deficit disorder increases by 10%.
- among babies ages 8 months to 16 months, every hour spent daily watching programs such as 'Brainy Baby' or 'Baby Einstein' translated into six to eight fewer words in their vocabularies as compared with other children their age."
- brain wave activity in babies is slower when watching television than when sleeping.
I believe television should be used SPARINGLY and with caution, and without any delusions of it increasing baby's intelligence. As for making them more intelligent, Dr. William Sears says, "relationships, not things, make babies smarter." The easiest way to make babies smarter and calmer is to carry them a lot. Slings, pouches and carriers help make this more manageable. Studies have shown that:
- carrying babies an extra 3 hours a day resulted in 40% less crying.
Babies who are frequently carried are proven to pick up verbal skills faster, and develop better core muscle strength and balance. My Listmania list "Natural Parenting for Baby's First Year" has more information on babywearing, or you can google "babywearing" or "television and baby studies" for your own research.
Crown Crafts The Original NoJo BabySling by Dr. Sears - Black Chambray is a great starter sling.
Finally, I'd suggest "SIGNING TIME" videos - not to be confused with "Baby Signing Time" - as a last resort instead of other baby videos because at least baby can learn sign language. Sign language is proven to:
- reduce frustration and tantrums
- accelerate language development
- promote parent-child bonding
I found the entire series at my local library. I especially liked Signing Time! Volume 4: Family, Feelings & Fun DVD and 'naming' feelings also increases emotional intelligence in babies.
