hi,

I got this for my 2 year old daughter who was just not speaking besides saying 2-3 words. She instantly LOVED the video and follows along really well before this, anything that i would put on, she would get bored...it really does captivate the mind of your two year old... Her vocab has improved a little and what i really like is that they focus on sounds instead of words....like the sounds of vowels..a e i o u...and they also make different facial expressions that my daughter imitates right away...so i highly recommend it,... i just wish they had a VHS version *YES* i know because she keeps on opening the DD player and playing with the disc and has put scratches on it.

I bought this video for my 11 month old, not because he is having any problems but rather to enhance what he is naturally developing in terms of speaking. I found the video Okay for him- he wasn't that interested. It was similar to a baby einstein video yet very cheaply made. The Speech pathologists come on the screen every once in awhile making vocal expressions which your child is supposed to imitate. The best part of the video is the quick parent tutorial going over signs and ways to enhance your childs speech (a quick segment at the end). Otherwise the actual part that your child is supposed to watch leaves something to be desired.

I thought that this video was a good idea but poorly made. I probably would not buy it again even if they lowered the price. For those who are still interested in buying the video I would wait until it falls below $10.

My son is 19 months old and he's not that verbal. I was hestiate to buy the dvd. I read several of the reviews and it seemed that so many parents were pleased with it. Well, I got the dvd a couple of days ago and my son has watched it 3-4 times. The video holds his attention and he actually mimic what's being done on the video. And he will say more, help, pop, bubble and will sign more and help. Also, he will make the sounds.I'm telling you he wasn't doing this last week. I am amazed. He just started saying mama, which I think is great. I was very happy to finally hear him say mama. Several reviews discuss the quality of the video and how poor it is. I'm not concerned with it. What I do know? My son has said more words in the last couple days prior to watching this video. And it was worth the money. I also bought baby babble 2.

Happy to hear my son words.

My friend's 24 month old son never sat and watched ANYTHING for more than 12 seconds... until I showed him this video. He is speech delayed so I thought this video "couldn't hurt." He loves making the mouth sounds and hand motions!

My son just turned 2 and has been diagnosed with a developmental and speech delay. After reading the reviews we decided to buy this video for him. Yes, it isn't as fancy as Baby Einstein, but my son doesn't care at all. He loves the toys, the music, and the women who make the "faces." In fact, some parts of the video make him totally crack up!! After a few days of watching it, he is already repeating the vowel sounds and attempting the sign language communication (help, more, eat). His therapist and I have already noticed a slight decrease in his frustration levels as he tries to tell us using more sounds what he wants.

I purchased my copy at clevershopper.com and went ahead and purchased Baby Babble 2 from there today. Shipping is only about $3 if you get regular first class mail, and the DVD, itself, is slightly discounted.

It's scary when professionals tell you that your child has a problem, but I'm confident these videos will be an aid to this coming year of therapy. If anything, just watching the parent tutorial section helped me become more aware of what I should be doing to help.
