What Parents Need to Know
About Sesame Beginnings: Beginning Together
Parents need to know that this program is expressly designed for children as young as six months. Both Common Sense Media and the American Academy of Pediatrics advise against allowing children younger than 2 to watch television and other screen media. Studies have raised concerns that early exposure to television could be detrimental to attention span and cognitive development.
That issue aside, Make Music Together is a high quality production teaching positive skills to parents of young children while presenting engaging images and characters that young children will enjoy watching. As you'd expect from Sesame Street, the DVD portrays a variety of family situations and makes an effort to be culturally diverse.
Families Can Talk About
Families can talk about how they can integrate music into regular routines, like household chore-time and naptime. And caregivers can use the technique of adding songs to their normal interaction with their children to encourage communication and ease transitions from one activity to another.
