If there is an award for great content this article should win the blue ribbon. I haven’t read such wonderful content in quite a while.

My kid love the DVDs. We use them with moderation and guidance. I do believe that this has helped him developed quicker.

Your videos were an excellent part of our newborn’s early education. She’s 7 now and in an accelerated program. You owe apologies — and refunds — to no one.

My husband is quite ill, has been in the hospita for 2 months now. As pre-occupied as I am, I just had to speak up and ‘defend’ your product.
My sister notified me of ‘the refund available’ for all Baby Einstein DVDs/videos. I replied to her email stating: “I am actually one of the Baby Einstein fans. I swear by them! I think they are a wonderful teaching tool (as are your books and cards!!)- they are the root of Katerina’s (our 4 1/2 year old daughter’s) level of intelligence. Truly. She began to learn about the planets, art, musicians/music (classical), seasons, numbers, animals and their sounds (and where in the world they live), shapes, ALL the musical instruments she knows, she picked up from their tapes… I may have taken things to the next level, but, Baby Einstein gave me the point in the right direction. Katerina still asks to see them a number of times a week. I must admit, I do have them hidden. There are only a handful of them which I continue to show her. I have always said: Baby Einstein (or any TV for that matter) is not intended to be a babysitter. If the parent sits, and uses them appropriately, as with any program, children can learn so much more!”
Keep doing what you do best!!!

i am so disappointed to hear this news…

Please stop showing Baby Einstein to your kids. Do the research — University of Washing did and they discovered that watching these DVDs inhibited language development. The Amercian Academy of Pediatrics recommends no screen time for kids under the age of two for a reason! Turn off the screen and play with your kids — it’s the best way to help your child. Disney is all about making money, they’re not in this to help our children.

I have purchased many Baby Einstein DVDs, CDs and other toy products for my daughter. She has loved and enjoyed every single one. The music, colors and animals have made such an impression on her. She is now 20 months and still giggles when I play one for her. Although I never intended for her to learn from the DVDs, she actually learned sign language from the “my first signs” video. We love your products and will continue to buy them. If people don’t like them, then they don’t have to buy them. It is too bad that sometimes “free country” means that people sometimes take advantage of their right to talk and try to derail what they don’t like. I certainly hope you weather this unpleasant storm.

Children from my daycare participated in the filming of educational videos in the mid-90’s. We then used the videos in conjunction with teacher interaction and saw marked improvement in language skills development in the boys and an increase in curiosity in the girls. As a mother I am proud to say my daughters are both now certified teachers. Baby Einstein product made learning fun. My three year old grandson is reading fluently and loves numbers and explores advanced concepts all of the time. Over the past two decades I have defended educational products when used with the proper adult interaction and will continue to do so. I think it is shameful to ask for a refund that has yielded such phenomenal results. When used as advised I believe these products are great and enhance a child’s visual and auditory discrimination skills. I think the proof is in the pudding. Its too bad that some parents think you can buy a video and expect it to babysit your child (teaching them in the process).

My now 4 year old daughter has been a fan from about 6 mo. I love the movies, cd’s, and toys! my now 6 month old will watch,play, and listen also! The videos were a great source for my daughter to be introduced to words, colors, and sounds, and it was a great tool for me to teacher her some sign language! Thank you for great products and i will also not be returning my videos but using them for my new baby!
