Hello priatezeta, the one I liked the most is Busuu, its really complete. I like it a lot for those who speak another origin language and want to learn Spanish. To teach my 8 monts baby his own language its a little complicated. The other ones have many activities to reinforce that are great, I will use them when my son is older. Thank you! it is exactly what I was looking for... you've been so kind! Janette

It has also been a surprise for us, thank God we discover it on time and he's already under treatment. The doctors have told us that it will take some months to heal, and it is exactly now when he should begin to babble, that's why I don't want to stop supporting his language development. Although he listens, he has his ears blocked. I have seen your link and it is exactly what I was looking for! thank you so much... from now on I will practice everything.

Thank you both... my son has otitis and his audition is temporarily diminished, his dr recommended to give him language stimulation. He goes since his 4 months old to early stimulation (gymboree), but I want to work with him resources more specific to language. I'm already looking for a specialized center as well. Thank you again

Thank you all for your contributions... Indeed I believe that it’s necessary a much more structured investigation that can bases any result like TmS says. Meanwhile, I experience is our best ally in this, I wish more parents could share in this forum theirs, that would allow us to generate more references. For now I think we have: • TV (DVD's, computer, etc), is not harmful for children younger 2 years old. • To see programs of regular TV doesn't cause an improvement in infant's language. • Although they are not an alternative for language development, they do are a tool we can take advantage of. • Cartoons are not thought for little babies, it’s better to look for educational DVS and software. • The results in language development are outstanding if TV time is accompanied by parents. Am I right? Hypatia has very organized her TV time... ShenLi and TmS are more flexible, so... the most important thing is to observe and follow every baby’s reaction and keep it balanced, but definitively I believe there is no reason at all for not taking advantage of this tool. Thank you all, I feel more relaxed!

I'm not sure if I want to open a new topic (once this have not been posted in more than 120 days)... but I dont want to loose what you've said here. I am really concerned trying to investigate if there is a real damage that television can cause in babies younger than 3 years old. I have read several articles of the American Association of Pediatrics and, other than pointing out that the contact with other people benefits the baby more that the television, I cannot find information related to specific damages. I'm worried because up to now I put my 6 monts old baby in front of the TV at least 5 times per day (10 minutes each) to follow the routines of his programs of language development, and some cartoon that I consider of benefit. I follow my common sense, but I am not expert, do you have information of researches backed up scientifically about this, where I can learn about damages and/or benefits of television (and DVD's) in specific (talking about educational TV)? Besides the time that my son and I dedicate to his language programs (reading, signs), we distribute our time between games and walks. Another concern (following Karianne), is that I work from house (paid and not). This is sometimes a trap because if I don't watch over with attention the time that I dedicate to mi computer, it easily extends, limiting the time that I pass with my son (and I have to say I feel guilty). It is not easy, it's already known, to be a working (paid or not) mother (we mothers always work, but we are not always paid). Any one? Janette
