Active Learning vs. Passive Exposure: What Parents and Caregivers Should Know

There’s been a lot in the news about babies and children watching TV, movies, and videos. You’ve probably noticed that there’s a new wave of movies and videos geared specifically to babies. Keep in mind that there’s a big difference between actively engaging your child in a learning experience and simply exposing them to it. There are a lot of great video programs on the market for babies and children. Some of these baby and children movies and videos encourage learning through ”passive exposure,” where children simply sit passively and watch images set to classical music. Experts agree that without tactile stimulation or adult’s physical involvement, there’s less sensory input and the risk of slower development.
