Aimee Ketchum's
Baby Massage
and Developmental DVD
is much
more than just
a baby massage DVD! Aimee not only gives complete,
easy-to-follow instructions on how to massage your baby,
but
also explains the reason for each stroke and the
positive
effects it has on your baby's growth and development.
Her
interactive program is SENSORY BASED to stimulate ALL of
your baby's senses, not just touch. Aimee Ketchum's
extensive
knowledge of your baby's brain development becomes
apparent as she explains dozens of easy exercises and
simple
techniques to stimulate baby's sense of touch, vision,
hearing,
balance, movement, and position in space.
In only a few
minutes per day, you can aid your baby's development and
stimulate your baby's senses while having fun! Aimee's
tips
and techniques can be used any time, any place,
including bath
time, mealtime, playtime, bonding time, travel time, and
even
while standing in line at the supermarket.
A Note from Aimee:
As a Pediatric Occupational
Therapist (OT),
I worked for many years with school-age children with
developmental
delays. Again and again I found that delays in
development, such as
poor coordination, poor reading skills, and poor
handwriting, were the
result of missed or under-developed milestones in the
first year of
life.
I made it my mission to help by combining my research in
early
childhood development with my experience working with
children. My
goal was to teach parents to build a foundation for
their babies' future
skills, and the idea for the baby massage and
developmental DVD
was born. The program is currently
helping new
parents across the country provide the best possible
start to a lifetime
of new beginnings. Enjoy!
The
Aimee's Babies Baby Massage and Developmental DVD
provides an
abundance
of information to new parents who want to give their
baby the best
start possible in life.
Babies learn about the world from their senses. This
sensory-based
60-minute DVD is
divided into seven segments: one segment for each of the
senses below,
plus an additional
segment with detailed baby massage instructions. Your
new baby will
take in a tremendous
amount of information through her senses during her
first year of life.
In fact, if a baby's
senses are adequately stimulated, the weight of his
brain actually
DOUBLES by the end
of the first year!
Touch/Massage
This segment explains why the sense of touch is so
important. It
includes baby "stretches"
that improve overall coordination and agility, and
techniques to
improve body awareness,
spatial skills, and sensory processing. Also included
in this segment
are complete, detailed,
easy-to-follow instructions on the safe techniques of
infant and baby
massage. At the end of
the DVD is a separate 5-minute Baby Massage summary
segment, which can
be viewed in
real time while you massage your baby. The drumming
music during the
massage mimics the
sounds of utero and helps to relax your baby.
Vision
During this crucial period of visual development, learn
how to help
your baby develop visual acuity
(clear sight), as well as visual motor skills (eye
movements), with
structured exercises that will help
make her a better reader in the future for better
performance in school.
Hearing
Babies are born with a very acute sense of hearing.
Learn how to use
this sense to optimize your
baby's brain development and lifetime learning
potential.
Balance/Movement
A finely-tuned sense of balance will help your baby sit,
crawl, and
walk. In the future, it will help
him have better overall coordination skills to become a
better athlete,
dancer, and gymnast. Learn
exercises and tips to stimulate your baby's inner ear
and build a
strong foundation of balance.
Position in Space
An infant has no idea whether she is right-side-up or
upside-down. He
doesn't know where his body
stops and where Mommy's body starts. Position in space
is a learned
skill, which you can promote in
your baby by using the exercises in this segment.
Taste and Smell
Scents can actually improve your baby's brain function
and help your
baby be more relaxed
or more alert. Different foods can help your baby's
speech
development. Learn more in this
segment on taste and smell.
