That's the first time many of the children have ever heard the word. They're hearing it for the very first time and also seeing the word and the orangutan itself at the same time they're hearing it, so they should have a very elaborate idea of what an orangutan is. The video has received good responses from both children and parents, Titzer said. Hundreds of kids have watched and we've received positive results. Even with very young babies, as young as three months old, we get reports from parents that every time the word 'clap' comes on the video, they try to clap.
Babies watch the video because they get to participate.
Of course there are times when a baby will be distracted from watching, especially when they first learn to walk or crawl. We've also gone to daycare centers and shown this video. I showed this at my daughter's school where I was a guest speaker for career week for a group of six to nine year olds. They enjoyed it very much. It was also shown in my younger daughter's class, the two to five year old group.
