Movie Reviews of Mommy & Me: Playgroup Favorites
Movie Review: My son learned so much from this DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars
I originally bought this DVD because I was starting some playgroups for the first time, and wanted to get reacquainted with some of the songs and fingerplays, etc. I played it a couple of times for myself, not realizing that my 14 mos old son was paying attention the whole time. Well, one day when I started singing the DVD theme song, my son hurried over to the tv and pointed to where I keep our DVDs. That was one of the first times that I realized he was making these mental connections. I think this is a great DVD for helping 12-24 month olds grow.
Within a month or two he recognized many of the songs, and often within the first 3 words that he would hear.
At 15-17 months he started imitating the finger plays to many of the songs as well as the more physical movements, like dancing or moving his arms. There were times when my husband and I would ask, WHERE did he get that move from? And then realized it was from the DVD! Now at 20 months he pretty much does everything on the DVD. The DVD is very movement-oriented so it encourages alot of parent-child interaction. In one of the songs the last line is "This is the way we hug our moms, hug our moms, hug our moms," and my son would run over to me to hug me.
I wanted to avoid exposing my son to too much tv but this is the one DVD whose benefits I can actually see. Who knows, maybe he's also learning alot from his Elmo DVDs (which he also loves, but he's often a vegetable in front of those), but if as a parent sometimes you feel like seeing some concrete results of whether or not your kids are getting anything out of what they're watching, in our case, this DVD offered that.
I like this DVD because my son doesn't just zone out into space when he's watching; he's up and moving and dancing the whole time and as he grows I can see how he's picking up more and more from the DVD. And he remembers the songs and the movements, so that anytime we say, "let's dance!" or any time he hears one of the songs from some other source, he'll start dancing. It's great, because right now we don't have him enrolled in any type of formal class and I certainly don't have the creativity to teach him all those moves. It's alot of fun for us to watch as parents too.
