• “This video came at just the right moment.  My husband brought it in with the mail just as my 5-year-old daughter and our 3-year-old neighbor were having a mini-meltdown in the driveway.  I thought it would be the perfect time to introduce your video about playing nicely.  Even my 17-month-old son enjoyed seeing other kids his age playing and tuned in and out.”

• “I especially like that they point out the few scenes of anger or frustration without judgment.  Some playtime videos tend to oversimplify or talk down to children.  I was pleased to find this video does neither.

• “As a teaching tool, I think this video works best with discussion.  It's a video children can watch over and over and also benefit from seeing other children playing well together and not fighting when things don't go just their way.  In a nutshell, this video presents playtime in a positive way, placing attention on the dos and steering clear of the don'ts.”

• “I would definitely recommend this video to parents of very young children.  I think this appeals more to 2- and 3-year-olds, but 4- and 5-year-olds can enjoy this video as well.”

• “This wonderful movie engages children.  It was thoughtfully and lovingly created, that is felt throughout the film.  I would recommend this film to parents of infants through 3 year olds.  The age of the children, the concepts discussed are appropriate for very young children.”

• “The video held the attention of all the kids who watched it, and they all had desires to watch it again.  My eight year old, Bryce giggled over the part when the toddler was trying to get into the blue car with the little girl who didn't want him there.  That toddler maintained his politeness even through his frustration.  That was an ideal example! “

• “The video was an excellent example of children playing well together.  My five year old daughter didn't say much, but she really wanted to watch the video a second time, right after we finished watching it together, so I know she liked it.”

• “I watched the video with my sons Ben 4 and Abraham 2.  It wasn't what I expected.  My boys really enjoyed watching the video.  Ben was getting bored near the end and got up to go play.  Abraham on the other hand was mesmerized.  He didn't move until it was over.  Abraham is a very active boy.  He doesn't play nice, doesn't stop moving,  doesn't watch TV.

• He picked up his special blanket, sat on the couch and didn't move until the movie was over.  He talked to me thru the whole movie about what the babies were doing and how they were feeling.  Both boys expressed an interest in watching the movie again.  They also both told me that they do play nicely just like those children.  Maybe a bit of wishful thinking there.    I would certainly suggest to other parents that it could be a good movie for younger children.”

• “I showed the video to not only my children, ages 3 and 7, but to my nieces as well, ages 3, 4, and 5.  The video held their attention and sparked a lot of discussion about who was playing nice and who wasn’t, it also got them talking about how it is okay to be mad, but not to be mean to somebody when you are mad.  I believe that this video can be a definite asset to parents and daycare personnel in helping children understand how to play with other children and how to show their emotions in an appropriate manner.  I would love to recommend this video to others and feel that it will be beneficial to all families with young children.  It is not often that you can find videos that show real children interacting with other children, many of the “teaching” videos on the market are cartoon characters that young children have a hard time relating to.  Thank you for creating this wonderful product.”

• “I watched "Toddler Takes" with my kids, Logan (3-1/2) and Amelia (6-1/2).  If I'd screened it without them, I would likely have deemed it below their level.  I would have been wrong.  The video had both children engaged from beginning to end, and served as the jumping-off point for a fruitful discussion about sharing.  As the credits rolled, I asked if they would want to watch the video again.  Both looked at me, shouted "YES!!” then spun back to the screen, and didn't look away again until it went dark.

• “I can't say for certain that "Toddler Takes" would be an effective teaching tool for all kinds of kids and adults, but it certainly made a difference in my house.  I would wholeheartedly recommend "Toddler Takes."If your children attend day care the video could be a nice addition to it.
