Are there any standards for pronunciation.  The downloads I come across so far seem to all be well done, but my sound doesn't sound as good.  Any suggestions for helping me create a pronunciation that people will find useful?

So I found some other flash cards at Walmart that have a picture on one side and the word on the other.  I also saw the flash cards at Target that just have words. Anybody have thoughts on which is better and why?

I've been trying to get my little one to watch video's since about 3 months but he never seemed interested in watching the TV.  I let the video's play, but I'm not actually sure he's getting anything out of it.  We've been using the My baby can read for about 3 weeks now and he will only watch about a minute at the most and he only does the actions after I say them.  Anyone have any thoughts on getting him to be more involved in learning?  As a side note, he is very inquisitive about lots of things but not sitting and watching TV.

I'm surprised that there aren't more dads here.  I know lots of dads that are interested in their children's education.  Maybe it's just mom does most of the research and dad puts it into practice!

I too was concerned about letting my little one watch TV at such an early age, but I also was willing to let him watch educational videos.  However, I've found that now he isn't interested in watching the TV at all.  We have the my baby can read videos and he will watch maybe 20 seconds and then start playing with something else.  I feel like I shouldn't encourage TV watching but I'd like to at least know that he's getting something out of the video being on... he does do the actions that they say on the video, but not until I repeat it.  He does love playing with the computer when we use it so I'm hoping that maybe this program will get him interested in learning to read.

My sisters have been raving about this site for the past couple of days and all I can say is I wish I had made time earlier to check it out.  My little one doesn't really watch tv but he won't leave us alone when we are on the computer.  This is perferct!
