Baby Einstein

Just heard from a colleague about this product by Disney. She claimed that it is now a MUST HAVE for most young parents in Malaysia. Well, I was kiasu enough to check out what it was. Initially, it looked good to me ...

Apparently, there are some controversy over the effect that claimed by Disney. One of the articles by NewScientist.com claimed that these educational DVDs may "slow infant leaning"!?!?! Complaints was lodged against Disney and now Disney does not market it as an educational materials.

But well, my research did not end here. I found something else - sign language. Seems to be a better option for early childhood education. Here is some free resources for sign language. Will revisit these material when I have time...
