The DVD also includes animated nursery rhymes, entertaining characters, and stimulating games that parents can replicate at home with their children.

Founded in 2002, by stay at home Mom turned entrepreneur Barbara Candiano-Marcus, Baby Prodigy® products were created while Candiano-Marcus was caring for her first born child, Samantha. She took some time out of her busy schedule to share a bit about this terrific new title and her company.
CP: Where did you get the idea for this type of DVD?
BC: I have wanted to produce a DVD like this for a long time. I had two colicky babies and my inspiration to start Baby Prodigy originally came from my experiences with my colicky baby. I also wanted to create a DVD that would be for BOTH parent and child. By providing R.E.S.T (Relaxation, Entertainment and Sensory stimulation for your Tot) parents can get some relaxation while their child is being stimulated with entertaining visuals, music, nursery rhymes and playful puppet scenes which show activities parents can replicate at home with their child.
CP: What, in your opinion, makes your DVD stand out from other titles for this genre/age group?
BC: There is no other DVD like it on the market that is for both the parent and their child.
CP: What is the most surprising feedback you have received from viewers?
BC: One of the most surprising things I was told from a viewer was that her five year old loved “30 Minutes to a Quiet Baby.” When she first played the video for her baby, her 5 year old son watched it with her. When the video was over, he wanted to watch it over and over again!
CP: What have you learned as a producer while making this DVD?
BC: It is very important that parents get REST when taking care of their children. This DVD can help moms and dads get some rest while their little one is entertained even if it’s just for 30 minutes.
CP: What is your next project we can look for?
BC: I am working on an entertainment and educational DVD for preschoolers.
CP: Is there anything you would like to add?
BC: This is a DVD the whole family can enjoy.
