Help! I don’t have time!

Teaching babies used to be a time-heavy commitment, with parents having to make their own flash cards and other materials. These days, high-quality books, DVDs and software-based programs mean parents can start their babies learning with no lesson preparation. Meanwhile, the lessons themselves can take as little as five minutes per day.

While DVD-based programs can play a useful role in babies learning, you should resist the urge to use the TV as an "electronic babysitter." For more on making TV use safe and beneficial for babies, read our TV FAQs.
