Here's what parents and professionals are saying about Wee Exercise!

 

“Two young women with good credentials are responsible for this charming video. They've wisely broken it up into the four segments mentioned above, while giving very practical advice in the process. The segments flow nicely from new infant to a year old. I'd highly recommend this video for any new mother!”

-Judy Mate,
Reviewer Dove Family Foundation

“After reviewing your video, I enthusiastically lend my endorsement! What a fabulous opportunity for parents to be able to work with their children through playful exercises.

This will promote quality interaction between parents and their babies. This video is a must-have for new parents. What a perfect gift for a new mother!

With my experience with critically ill infants, I believe this video will be essential for parents of infants born prematurely or critically ill. These infants require more interaction and developmental coaching to reach developmental milestones in timely manner.

Thank you for offering me the opportunity to view your video firsthand. I can’t wait to purchase a copy for all my friends that have little ones.”

-Rebecca Melancon, RN, MSN
Neonatal Nurse Practitioner


"Finally, A comprehensive child development program!"

“Finally, a comprehensive child development program that provides the viewer with an easy to follow format on a variety of levels. Parenting skills, developmental milestones, preventative health and wellness care and the obvious bonding outcomes between the parent and child are all present in one demonstration. The most beneficial aspect of these tapes is the initial simplicity of the practical instructions. Once viewed and mastered, parents can return again and again to gain the invaluable lessons on handling, communication and the shear enjoyment of playing with your child and seeing the obvious changes that take place”

Anthony C. Hollander, PH.D., OTA
Past President of New York College of Health Professors
Past Director of Occupational Therapy Programs, Touro College

These simle tapes offer parents some safe, developmetally appropriate ways of interacting with their children!

“These tapes promote the recently published guidelines from the National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) concerning the encouragement of motion in early childhood. Although it may appear that sitting up, rolling over, and crawling emerge naturally; these behaviors are clearly influenced by the parent or caregiver and the environmental stimulation available to the infant. These simple tapes offer parents some safe, developmentally appropriate ways of interacting with and strengthening their infant’s physical development.”

"A wonderful tool to use in educationg the parents of my little ones!"

"Congratulations! I am so thrilled to find such excellent videos and information available to use with "my babies." I am a developmental interventionist with Kentucky's First Steps program, early intervention for birth to three for developmentally delayed children. I work with a whole team of professionals (OT, PT, SLP, RN and social workers) to get these little ones up and going. My background is early childhood education with an emphasis on interdisciplinary interventions. You have given me a wonderful tool to use in educating the parents of my little ones. It is fun and easy to do. I was so excited to have an up-to-date tool to use on an every day basis. Congratulations for being brave enough to invest in the future of so many children who are not where they should be because Mom is not sure what to do and lacks training in even the basics of childcare. You are making a difference! Thank YOU! "

"I think we skipped over very important developmental areas that children sumply MUST experience"

"I never knew how important early activity was for infants until I adopted an 18 month old baby from China. My daughter (she is now almost 7 years old!) had spent her entire first 18 months of life confined inside a crib in an orphanage with very little stimulation or encouragement. She couldn't sit up or crawl or walk and she only had been given liquids from a bottle for nourishment. She was non-verbal. I do think the lack of stimulation early on still has its effects. I remember reading about sensory integration early on but our pediatrician dismissed it. However, I am convinced all of the stimulation and holding that a baby born into a family experiences from day one are vital. There are so many of us out here who adopted from the orphanages but once we brought our children home, very few professionals offered any advice except to catch them up quickly. In doing that, I think we skipped over very important developmental areas that children simply MUST experience. Thanks for your ideas."

"Excellent tools"

"Staff felt that they were excellent tools for helping parents understand infants' physical environment."

Great library resource!

"I was so excited to see the web site (www.weeexercise.com) of Wee Exercise videos. It came to my attention through an email to the Healthy Start. They look wonderful, interactive and fun. I run a Family Resource Center that provides parent support for families of children with disabilities. We offer parents the opportunity to borrow important resources, written, audio and video for their growth as parents. We would love to include your resource in our library as well as flyers to give to parents who may want to purchase the resource for their own home library. We will assure you that they will be viewed by parents of infants."

...head start

"The Video is an excellent tool for Early Head Start..as this program serves pregnant women and children from birth to age three. It is also not only good for child development but for setting the habit of exercise to prevent overweight children. We would welcome older ages..as the Regular Head Start children from 3 to school age are served in that program. Your exercise video can also be used as Prevention. I like the practical aspects of the video series such as no need for expensive equipment. I look forward to the next series. We have initiated a program to prevent and reduce childhood overweight in a Head Start program in Houston. I want to view them for use in our project."

Ms. Jerry Collier
Texas Department of Health
Health Advisory Committee Chairman

...healthy, nurturing relationship with their baby.

"I found the video to be a tool to work with mothers toward the goal of a healthy, nurturing relationship with their baby. I loved the obvious delight modeled by both the presenters and the babies in the video."

Marie Melton, R.N.
Florida Department of Health

...stimulation

"I've always provided lots of speech and language stimulation for my own children (as a speech pathologist) but I think your approach is innovative and probably overlooked by many harried parents who go to work and come home and put the child in a safe place. Thanks."

Ms. Bess Ellender
Houma, LA

...tummy time!

"I am the mother of a seven week old son. All the nurses in the hospital told us how important it was to spend "tummy time" with Henry but no one told us what to do with him when he was on his tummy or when he is on his back. I am so glad your video series came to my attention. Now I know Henry is getting the developmental exercises that he needs."

Elise Antrobus
Baton Rouge, Louisiana

...extreme gratitude

"I just wanted to take a moment to let you know of my extreme gratitude for the videos you have created. My daughter was born one month early (sept. 2001) and has been a bit behind in developing. We were referred to a physical therapist but I did not feel we were getting much out of it. I had continually been asking if there was a book or video of things I could do with Lillian at home and had been told no. I wish I had heard about your videos sooner. I am so excited and thankful for your videos that I am going to tell anyone who will listen about them. Even my daughter's pediatrician."
