Only buy if you want your little one to be afraid of monsters and the dark!!! July 9, 2010 M. Cratin (Whitemarsh, PA) Until watching this video my son thought monsters were all good and friendly, like Elmo and Grover. That was until Ernie starts talking about being afraid of monsters and the dark. For days now all our son keeps saying is that he is afraid of monsters and the dark. WHY would Sesame Street introduce the concept of being afraid of monsters and dark?????? This make me very angry and has now affected our son. We love Sesame Street, and have every elmo DVD available, but this one should be changed. It is just not healthy for kids with the introduction of fear! Only buy this video if you want your child afraid of monsters and the dark. Awful!!!
This is the best Elmo DVD for toddlers. April 23, 2010 Hubble Hugger (Balimore) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Like many other 2 year olds, my daughter is in love with Elmo. She especially loves this video. It's perfectly targeted to toddlers. We watch it almost every night as part of her bedtime routine with milk and a cookie. It has cute and catchy songs, really clever use of characters and language, and best of all - it has a calming effect on her, so she goes to bed without any drama. I can't decide which section of the dvd I like the best - the outer space world section is very amusing, the baby bear and cousin bear section is adorable - and helps kids understand there's nothing to fear about shadows in their room at night. Elmo's Dad figures prominently in this dvd - great for fostering good family bonds. The short cartoons about children in Haiti and India are especially nice, too, as they show bedtime routines for children in other parts of the world, and are told in a child's voice. We have watched this dvd for almost a year now and I still find it to be very clever and interesting how it effectively appeals to children's best qualities at an early developmental stage... Highly recommended!
Storytime about Potty training April 20, 2010 Tabitha Madill (Mililani, HI) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is Elmos dad telling the story of Elmos Potty training. A little modeling, encouragement, and saying mistakes are ok. Didnt seem to effect my daughter's potty training much, but cant hurt.
A Huge Disappointment February 12, 2010 Cleat C. Roberts (USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Normally Seasame Street products are terrific, but this one fails miserably. There are 3 reasons why: 1. too much emphasis on fun, 2. Elmo models horrible behavior, and 3. the music is too upbeat.
Fun is fine and dandy when it's time to be awake or to be learning about cool stuff but fun doesn't work well when it's time to get sleepy and relaxed. Fun is about excitement which is the opposite of relaxation.
This was the first time I ever saw Elmo's dad shown and Elmo acts terribly towards his father. At first, the pair are having a pleasant time reading and getting ready for bed with smiles and laughter, but Elmo decides he doesn't want to goto bed and suddenly engages in a power struggle with his father. Eventually, Elmo wins with his exhausted father giving up and dropping his head onto Elmo's bed with Elmo proudly smiling over his victory. This is a major offensive problem. It isn't fun. It isn't funny. And it is certainly appalling. It is even worse when you consider that Elmo is a hero to little kids. And when toddlers see Elmo acting like this they are going to mimic it as well. Our bedtime ritual before this DVD was pleasant and happy and now it's a nightmare!
Lastly, there's a reason why lullabies are sung to children to help them sleep. It's because they're melodic, slow, and help the body to relax. Almost, all of the music in the DvD is fast paced and "fun." How do you sleep when you've been all wound up?
I recommend that you get a nice lullaby cd and do some reading with your child before bedtime instead of having them watch this dvd. You'll have some quality time with your child and you'll both be happier for it.
