- 61% of babies under 2 years old spend time in front of a screen (and 14% of babies are in front of a television or computer for two or more hours a day).
- 19% of children 1 year or younger have a TV in the bedroom.
- Each hour of viewing baby DVDs/videos is associated with lower vocabulary development for infants.
"The programming is adorable. The packaging conjures up famous thinkers and composers. All of this baby media is part of a multimillion-dollar business — a good thing to think about when tempted to buy or use them. After all, you are your baby’s best teacher. So when it comes to trying new ways to help your child think, you may want to start by putting that baby program on pause.
Exchange is proud of its book, Being with Babies, a great resource for both beginning and experienced caregivers. Each chapter describes an issue that caregivers face daily, offers scenarios that illustrate the challenge, suggests solutions caregivers can use to address the issue, and concludes with a review of key points. Being with Babies teaches caregivers how to handle everyday challenges while learning about developmental stages. This hands-on resource is perfect for caregivers of children 6 weeks to 18 months old, as well as for staff development and resource libraries. Chapters include information on:- Developing relationships with babies
- Using observation to understand babies
- Communicating with babies
- Selecting appropriate toys
- Setting up safe and effective learning environments for babies

Thanks for this list - I haven't even read a review of any of them. My favorites for summer reading are three by Blue Balliett set in Chicago near the University and showing President Obama's street on the map that is in all 3 books. The names are
"Chasing Vermeer," "The Wright 3," and "The Calder Game." The heroes are 3 children about 11 or 12 years old. They are an inspiration for the future. --er

The statistics about Baby Media caught my attention. I checked the commonsense website and could not locate information on the study from which the statistics were generated. I would feel much more comfortable sharing this information if I could locate the study.
