As parents you'll be educating your child from day
one, even if you aren't truly aware of it. Every instruction you give
your child, and every action you make which they copy, are lessons
they're learning for themselves. At such an early age, babies and
toddlers are interested and keen. They naturally want to discover new
things, so it makes sense that when parents give their children
educational toys, books and games to play with, they choose the right
ones.
Infant
education is not about forcing your child to become a genius
overnight. Instead, it's about giving them the opportunity to make use
of their own naturally inquisitive personalities and allowing them to
discover new senses and abilities through the medium of play.
Scientific Research Proves That Pre-school
Educational Products Make a Difference
Research conducted in America has proven that
infant education really does make a difference to a child's ability
later in life. Encouraging them, by reading them stories and showing
them pictures in infant books, playing with educational toys, using
flashcards, Educational toddlers DVD's and familiarising them with
simple things like the alphabet, shapes and colours allows a toddlers
brain to develop in much the same way that a body builder would develop
his muscles with regular workouts. The more they exercise their brains,
the easier they find it to learn and understand.
In the UK, the BBC discussed the issue of early infant
education in it's Dispatches: Kids Don't Count programme,
which can still be viewed online. It highlighted a group of children's
lack of comprehension when presented with a simple fraction, but it was
the views of the teachers interviewed in the programme which shed the
light on the problem. Children, they agreed, were not introduced to
learning at an early enough age to find it interesting, and this lack
of early education left older children confronted with a harder task.
The solution? Introduce the right educational games and infant books
early enough to capture and harness their natural interest.
The Brainy Baby® company an online 'Early Learning
Centre', specialise in educational toys with proven success
in enhancing toddlers' learning experiences. They recently commissioned
a study through the University of Texas which showed that a group of
toddlers using their educational Brainy Baby's® Shapes &
Colours DVD were 22 times more successful in learning and recognising a
new and unfamiliar shape than a group of toddlers who didn't see the
DVD. They've proven that the earlier children are encouraged to educate
themselves by using tools like educational toddlers DVDs, infant books
and children's flashcards, the better and easier they will learn.
Brands of Educational Children's Products in the
UK
Educational toys and games for infants and babies
is a huge industry in the UK, with big-name manufacturers like V-Tech,
Chicco and Leapfrog recognising the importance of early toddler
education. Everything from flashcards, books and toys have been
designed to teach babies to recognise their ABC's, and one of the
biggest companies was the Baby Einstein group who had a huge share of
the market with their educational children's products. However, the
Baby Einstein group, owned by Disney since 2001, has suffered recent
bad publicity, opening the door for newer companies like
brainybaby.co.uk to step forward and claim their share of the UK market
with their well researched educational merchandise.
Baby Einstein Suffers in the US
Recent problems for Baby Einstein were heavily
publicised at the end of 2009 when Disney was threatened with a
class-action lawsuit by a group of public health lawyers who complained
that Disney had marketed their educational babies' DVD's in a manner
which implied they could make children more intelligent, but parents
have been arguing against the suggestion that using their toddler's
educational DVD's as a virtual babysitter is an appropriate, or
effective, method of learning. What parents want is to be part of their
children's learning experience and to help them by sharing time playing
with educational toys together.
This desire is encompassed in the Brainy Baby®
range of products which are sold online in the UK. They have researched
and developed a superior range of educational toys, infant learning
flashcards, educational games and infant books designed to promote a
positive learning experience through parent-child interaction and at a
fraction of the cost of some of the larger retailers. Testimonials for
the company and their products can be found on their site at
brainybaby.co.uk and brainybaby.com, but here are a few of the reasons
why the Brainy Baby® products are the informed parents choice:
