De som känner mej, vet minsann att jag inte är någon vän av s.k. mycket pedagogiska videon, typ Baby Einstein & liknande crap. Nu har de, dvs några forskare, då kommit fram till vad jag har påstått hela tiden... Har tyvärr bekanta som placerar sin unge framför TV:n timtals varje dag. Det är ju så enkelt! Personligen tycker jag att det är helt vidrigt. Stackars barn! Inte undra på att han är gnällig & krävande för det mesta annars. Ungen vet ju inte hur det är att vara tillsammans med andra människor.

NOT BOOSTING BRAIN POWER
Videos may not help babies - Researchers tie educational videos to smaller vocabularies
AMBER DANCE (Los Angeles Times)
Parents hoping to raise baby Einsteins by using infant educational videos instead might be creating baby Homer Simpsons, according to researchers. In a study published today in the Journal of Pediatrics, researchers found that, among babies ages 8 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.
The makers of the videos have sold hundreds of millions of dollars' worth to parents aiming to put their babies on the fast track.Unfortunately it's all money down the tubes, according to Dr. Dmitri Christakis, a professor of pediatrics at the University of Washington in Seattle.
Christakis and colleagues surveyed 1,000 parents in Washington and Minnesota. They determined the babies' vocabularies using 90 common baby words, including mommy.
The researchers found that 32 percent of the babies watched the videos; of those, 17 percent watched more than an hour a day, according to the study.
The videos, designed to engage a baby's attention, hop from scene to scene with minimal dialogue and include mesmerizing images. Christakis said children whose parents read to them or told them stories instead had bigger vocabularies."I would rather babies watch `American Idol' than these videos," Christakis said, explaining that there was at least a chance that the parents would watch with them, giving the babies contact and perhaps interaction that would have developmental benefits.The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no television for children younger than 24 months.
The Brainy Baby and Walt Disney, which markets the "Baby Einstein" videos, did not return calls Monday.
