Movie Reviews of Brainy Baby: Left Brain - Inspires Logical Thinking
Movie Review: Brainy Baby: an exceptional video series
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently bought this DVD, as well as the Laugh and Learn, Peek-a-Boo, and Right Brain DVDs for my 2-month old. These DVDs are part of the 'Infant Learning Pack' which Brainy Baby also provides. My son LOVES them! Any time I put these DVDs on, he gets excited and starts smiling... he sits down, really focused on the videos. Not even his Father or Grandma can distract him when he's watching these videos.
In Left Brain, he seems to like watching the different shapes and colors shown, the ABCs and 123's as they dominate the screen in bold colors, and the pictures of other children playing and learning. He also seems to respond well to the brief exposure to foreign languages in this video. I love the way that many of the concepts, including ABCs and 123's, are weaved in throughout this series. I definitely plan on purchasing other Brainy Baby videos.
I sit with my son as he's watching these DVDs #which is highly recommended in the enclosed parent guide#, and repeat some of the concepts with him, and he loves this as well. I also read books to him, which he seems to enjoy. The one primary benefit I have noticed as a result of these videos is the increased level of focus he seems to have on everything. Whether he is listening to me read, watching the DVDs, listening to others speak to him, or just playing with his toys, he is very focused and concentrated on what he is doing.
Other great features of these DVDs are the Activities and Games section, as well as the Sneak Peeks, which show sizeable clips of other videos in the series. These are very helpful in deciding which DVDs to purchase next for your child.
All in all, in my humble opinion, the Brainy Baby series is well worth the purchase, or should I say, investment, in your child's education.
Summary of Brainy Baby: Left Brain - Inspires Logical Thinking
This video works together with the Right Brain video to present both creative and logical types of images and activities. Left Brain features classical music and gentle voices, and explores Logic, Patterns, Letters & Numbers, Sequencing, Analyzing details, and more! DVD includes special features such as: Baby Bloopers, Behind The Scenes, and Storybook. 45 minutesIt's called "whole brain thinking," the notion that if children are stimulated to use both sides of the brain--developing their abilities to think both logically and creatively--they will become more adept learners. Underscoring such research, the folks at Small Fry Productions (makers of Bilingual Baby) have produced Brainy Baby, which joins a host of worthy tapes designed to stimulate a baby's mind. This two-volume set is unique, however, in addressing specific left and right brain functions in distinct, 30-minute programs. "Left Brain," the second volume, picks up where volume one leaves off, engaging a child's analytical abilities. Bright visuals encourage growth in the areas of math, language, and logic. Patterns and shapes are introduced in colors of red, black, and white. Language is explored beginning with letters of the alphabet, followed by simple words and voice-overs offering the equivalent in Spanish and French. Numbers are presented in sequence using interactive questions (How many do you see?). Less clinical than the So Smart! approach, Brainy Baby provides enthusiastic narration and plenty of baby faces, familiar toys, and giggles. It also employs the so-called Mozart effect (the idea that classical music enhances a child's spatial intelligence), interspersing selections from baroque and classical era composers Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven. If parents are uncomfortable with the film's academic premise to "develop your child's analytical side for a smarter baby," they can be assured that, research aside, there is plenty of pure enjoyment here to delight a wee one, 6 to 36 months. And the melodies of the maestros make it palatable for parents too. --Lynn Gibson
