‘Make Baby Laugh!’ provides fun and helps parents interact with young children

By Eric Henrickson / The Detroit News

Nothing makes parents smile like the sound of their child’s laughter. Peekaboo can get old, though, so in steps “Make Baby Laugh!” (Make Baby Laugh! Co.) with some pointers.

The video purports to be for child and parent. While it’s true that children enjoy watching other children, “Make Baby Laugh!” is much more than a video for dropping the toddler in front of the television and doing other things. In the end, it’s a nice how-to guide for parents, full of ideas for, and actively encouraging, interaction with their babies.

Clinical child psychologist Dr. Kori Levos Skidmore says even if the games (called “Discovery Insights” on the video) don’t make a child laugh, the interaction is still important. To emphasize that point, the video comes with a “Giggle Together! Insights Guide,” which explains what it is about each activity that tickles a baby’s developing funnybone. The video also includes an interview with Skidmore and many of the parents featured in the program.

The video segments listed in the guide don’t match the DVD chapters, though, so if you’ve got a favorite, you’ll have to manually fast-forward through the chapters to find it. Available at www.makebabylaugh.com or 866-444-2487.

How touching to see one dad prop his daughter upon his belly and play “Kiss Daddy.” Each time the child pops her head out of the blanket to give a kiss, the daddy makes a silly face and covers her head with the blanket again. There are 20 such comedy segments and about as many songs, some of which are in Spanish. This is a perfect baby-shower gift.
