[QUOTE="Ome, post: 52912, member: 2"] It was a horrible show - however it was also pretty genius. Tenn Ome born in 1998 and Teletubbies was still the number one show, so it's what she watched and loved. When I say genius I'm talking about how clever the show was at gaining attention of a baby. As a parent you try all kinds of things to grab their attention and it starts off with colours and then sounds. You play with your baby, you do things to make your baby smile and giggle and if this programme came on the TV your baby is instantly drawn to the sound and colours on screen. It doesn't matter about speech at that age, it's more about communicating with the baby and it will never work if you start having a real conversation. You're helping them to make their own sounds and you find yourself mimicking their sounds (even if you don't agree with that, it's hard not to) to get a reaction from them. There are times when you're changing their nappy or trying to feed them and they are trying to wriggle away from you, next thing you find yourself saying [I]"eh-ho!"[/I] and you've cracked it, you've got their attention. I only think the Teletubbies can be damaging if you find your child is still watching and trying to talk like them at the age of 6,7,8.... [/QUOTE]
