Guidelines for Viewing Child Development Videos
While young children may appear to enjoy watching video after video in one sitting, experts caution against exceeding the recommended amount. According to Claire Lerner, director of parenting resources for Zero to Three in Washington, D.C., children older than two should watch no more than 30 minutes of videos a day. "You don't want the video to replace the parent," she said.
Children who benefit most from the screen are those who interact with the parent simultaneously. "The more interactive they are, the more of a likelihood that learning will take place," Lerner said.
Watching together is also beneficial for the parent, who might otherwise be hard-pressed to find a creative way to extend the learning process. "Being part of the process will enable them to become part of the solution and better focus their discussions and selections of play materials," said Dr. Helen Boehm, a child development specialist and the author of The Official Guide to the Right Toys.
Dr. Dorothy Singer, senior research scientist at Yale University, also advises that parents talk about the video while viewing it together. "Point out similarities in real life, and ask questions even if you don't get real answers." This is something to keep in mind, especially for parents of babies who might otherwise think that their child won't be able to understand them.
"Whatever the video is doing, repeat it and make it a point that you explain what is happening," she said. That might be anything from singing to dancing along. Don't worry if you're not Ginger Rogers; your child will enjoy the fact that it's you who's doing the fancy footwork.
Dr. Gilliam seconds this notion, stressing how the interaction between parent and child is the best way to helping them learn. "Play with your baby -- and play often," he said. "Use lots of language, age-appropriate books and toys, and share fun and enjoyment."
Dr. Ari Brown, a pediatrician based in Austin, Texas, and a spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics, suggests that parents preview what their child will watch beforehand and then watch it together. "Talking about the show afterwards help the child think about it," she said.
