"Your Baby Can Read"...skeptical
Hi All
Yesterday I was at my parents house and my mum showed me a recording she'd saved for me on sky plus from the shopping channel for the DVDs "Your Baby Can Read". http://www.yourbabycan.co.uk/default.aspx
They reckon it's designed for babies between 3 months and 5 years and were showing clips of babies as young as 9 months reading words and pointing to body parts, or doing the action on the card etc etc.
I am incredibly skeptical...however also very intrigued!
Does anyone on here have any experience of it? If it actually works, then I'd love to give it a go. Not in a pushy parent high pressure way, but I think it would be amazing for LO if it does work?

Personally I don't see the need in spending all that money on some picture cards and a DVD. You can buy similar cards for much cheaper in the shops and just do your own version at home! Also, from what I remember the kid watches the DVD - personally, I'd much rather be interacting with my baby myself than plonking them in front of the TV.
I think it's pretty much common sense teaching them how to read and teaching them words and such things are over priced and a bit of a con! I don't see any reason why a child can't learn to the same ability with plenty of reading to them, interacting and talking and using similar (but much cheaper!) cards yourself.
