Customer reviews for 'Child Development: The First Two Years'

Disappointed

As a nutritionist and a postpartum doula, I was very disappointed with this video. It shows babies drinking juice both from cup and a bottle and gives out-dated information for starting solids. Breastfeeding is not held up as the "gold standard" as it should be. Some of the other information is good, but you can find it elsewhere.

Basic info set in old style 'video'

Offers pretty basic information on the development of infants and looks to be from the 80's though the copyright says 1993. Although I'm sure infant development hasn't changed that much over the years, the whole thing seemed a bit outdated. I much preferred The Baby Human and hope they come out with more from that series.

Key Ingredients...Information, Compassion and Humor

With the many obligations in parents' daily lives, plus so many short- and long-term decisions to make, moms and dads can become confused, short-tempered, and completely stessed out. And that leads to feelings of anxiety, guilt and incompetence. This DVD Video Guide is supportive and informative without talking down to you and helped give me the confidence I was looking for to face some of the common challenges that arise in the first 2 years. The information is clearly presented and is organized into the following developmental periods: 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-12 months and 12-24 months. For the next age group...toddlers-preschoolers (ages 2, 3, 4 and 5), I highly recommend a small pocket guide called THE POCKET PARENT offering hundreds of sanity saving suggestions to try. Set up as a quick-read A-Z guide...it covers every challenging behavior you can think of such as anger, bad words, biting, hitting, the gimmes, morning crazies, tantrums, bedtime and mealtime refusals, separation anxiety and whining. CHILD DEVELOPMENT: The First 2 Years and THE POCKET PARENT are supportive easy reference guides for the home or daycare setting to revisit again and again.
