Book excerpt: Inspirational Baby is a series of two new video tapes (and DVDs) presenting positive, life-enriching experiences for infants and toddlers (ages 0 to 3 years). The video tapes are designed to stimulate and enrich a young child's heart, mind, and body, while providing entertaining, engaging experiences. Certain songs contain stories - stories designed to reinforce positive messages for young, growing minds. Many of these "story songs" tell the story of Jesus arriving on Earth to bring peace and love to all of God's children. Songs like "What a Friend We Have in Jesus," or "Amazing Grace," provide the reinforcement kids need to the "good news" stories they are hearing at church or at home. As a child grows, his or her ability to comprehend these stories grows as well. Music and visual images play a big role in helping a child remember stories, supporting early language development. And "story songs" are fun too, because most of them feature "characters," other people (usually children) acting out the stories, helping to communicate the message found in the stories. In this way, the "story songs" also help to prepare children for preschool, focusing on early language arts experiences, as well as music and art. As in all Inspirational Baby videos, the songs and images will reinforce God's love for the child, and the life-affirming messages of the Bible.
