What professionals and parents are saying about the DVD:

"Beverly Stokes has captured in beautifully videotapes vignettes some of the major developmental sequences the baby shows in early life. At the same time, her narrative reviews the potential links between these developments in movement and the social, perceptual, cognitive, and emotional reorganizations that take place in the baby's mind and world. I strongly recommend the video for educators and laypersons alike."
Joseph J. Campos, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology
University of California, Berkeley

"AMAZING BABIES: Essential Movement for Your Baby in the First Year book and AMAZING BABIES: Moving in the first Year DVD are great resources for helping students and professionals working in the field of early intervention to get a handle on what typical development looks like as well as to understand the range of what is considered typical. The method the DVD uses following a group of children over time is great because you can really see how each child’s individual strengths and needs influence their overall development throughout the 1st Year. I would highly recommend these resources for all pre-service and in-service educators.”
Ted Burke, Director
Illinois Early Intervention Training Program

"Amazing Babies is an excellent teaching tool. Not only does it demonstrate the importance of movement in overall development, it very clearly demonstrates the involvement of vision in the developmental process."
Glen Steele, OD Chief of Pediatric Service
Southern College of Optometry

"AMAZING BABIES®: Moving in the First Year video seems to be best suited for new or expectant parents, students, and teachers in early childhood education fields, early interventionists from all disciplines who are just beginning pediatrics or those who wish to renew observation skills relating to babies in the first year of life. The video is enjoyable and easy to watch and serves to remind us how a baby’s developmental abilities work together to produce their behavior."

"Amazing Babies Moving in the First Year is an excellent video and I have been using it for years in my on campus course".

"I am happy to tell you how much I have appreciated your videos and book. You are to be congratulated on your patience and persistence in following the growth, development and activities of such a delightful group of youngsters. The longitudinal observation of the natural changes in behavior is a unique contribution to our understanding of ourselves, the way in which we may grow and even such optimal conditions as those provided by your collaborators, infant and adult."
Alexander Murray, Professor Emeritus School of Music, University of Illinois,
co-director Urbana Center for the Alexander Technique.

"This thought-provoking, magnificently beautiful video reveals to the viewer the manner in which babies, newborn to walking, become aware of themselves, develop physical prowess, explore and interact through the conscious and purposeful medium of movement."
Sandra Jamrog, past President of Childbirth Education Assoc. Metropolitan New York, parent and childbirth educator

"What a breath of fresh air! Beverly Stokes has displayed normal babies developing through their first 12 months. She demonstrates exquisitely the importance of motor, visual, and social stimulation as the child builds skills month by month. This is a powerful but gentle teaching tool for all new parents or child care personnel."
Judy Jennings, MA Special Education, Pediatric Physical Therapist

"This video has some of the most illuminating video footage of babies that you are likely to see. Stokes' explanations are enlightening. It's hard to imagine parents ever watching their baby in the same way after seeing this video."
