I couldn't believe how focused he became every time it would come on. I knew without a doubt that this was my childs favorite show! He is now 11 months old and he repeats the pronounciation of words when red is saying them. Sometimes he'll even say the word before her!! It's a great show. I can't say enough about it.

My son, who will be three at the end of this month, didn't even try to speak. It was like he didn't hear me when I would talk to him. I had his hearing checked numerous times. They all told me that he could hear me fine and was just "stubborn". I believed them, for a while. I did some research on Autism. I felt my heart sink. I thought, "OMG! Could my son be Autistic? If he is, how did it seem to escape the doctors and my attention for two and a half years?" I took him back to the doctor who told me that "He doesn't have a lick of Autism in his body. He's way too social." I'm not sure I'm believing that yet either. He wouldn't pretend in play, talk, feed himself, nothing interested him. We tried tv. a little. We tried Sesame Street, nothing could hold his attention. Then, we found Super Why. You couldn't pull that child from the T.V. when Super Why's on. Normally, I think people in general think it's a bad thing for kids to be that engrossed in television. I don't think that. This is one helluva show for kids. And, untill they've lived in the circumstances that revolve around a particular house, I think they should keep their judgements to themselves. Just about a month ago, we were watching Super Why and my son looked at me and said, "Why". clear as day. I cried. Since then, his vocabulary continues to grow by the day. And, the little turn the characters in the show do when they "transform" to their super reader selves, yeah, my son now pretends to "transform" with them. Again, I could cry. It's a great show that I recommend to everyone. Dave, one could say the same thing, and then some, about the internet. But, obviously, you have no issues with that. Don't judge what you don't understand. I, too, feel the need to thank the creators of Super Why. My son, who will be three at the end of this month, didn’t even try to speak.

I said quite a bit the first time, this time I'll just say.... I wish shows like Super Why would leave out the letter 'and' when they are saying the alphabet. It is 'y' 'z' on the path, not 'y' 'and' 'z'. This seems minor, but to a 3 year old, it turns the word 'and' into the 26th letter of the alphabet and 'z' into the 27th....
