Your neighbor tells you that she is going to buy her child the "Baby Einstein" videos, saying that, "even though they are really expensive, they are worth it." She asks you what you think. Provide a response based on research evidence
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: The data show that these products do not enhance cognitive development; one study even showed that infants who watched these DVDs did worse on language comprehension tasks than their counterparts who did not watch them. Save your money and spend the time interacting with your child instead. Babies learn more by actively interacting with their world and nothing can replace quality time with their caregivers.
