56_53	History of the line
56_54	Sherrie Westin, Executive Vice President comments: "Our own research showed that Sesame Street
56_55	videos were among those frequently viewed by the under two set, in spite of the fact that the
56_56	content and curriculum of Sesame Street is designed for ages 2-5. With the Sesame Beginnings DVDs,
56_57	we're providing parents and caregivers of children under two with content specifically designed to
56_58	use media as a tool to further adult/child interaction."
56_59	The same "underviewing" of Sesame Street is what had earlier inspired show producers to add in the
56_60	very young-targeted Elmo's World segment.
56_61	The concept of the Sesame Street cast as babies was not entirely new, as "baby-ized" versions of
56_62	characters were available as books since 2002. Many likened the line to previous series like Muppet
56_63	Babies.
56_64	Controversy and criticism
56_65	The production of DVDs and other screen-based media for children under the age of two is extremely
56_66	controversial. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children under two be kept away
56_67	from screen media and Sesame Beginnings has been criticized by a number of early childhood
56_68	development experts who point to research suggesting that television viewing by babies can harm
56_69	language development and sleep patterns. An April 23, 2006 article in The Washington Post quoted
56_70	Harvard Medical School psychologist Susan Linn as saying "There is no evidence that media is
56_71	beneficial for babies, and they are starting to find evidence that it may be harmful. Until we know
56_72	for sure, we shouldn't risk putting them in front of the television."
56_73	Sesame Street Kids’ Guide to Life has countered such criticism by pointing to their partnership
56_74	with Zero to Three, a respected American nonprofit child-development and advocacy organization, to
56_75	produce the DVDs and also that they were extensively researched and tested by respected experts in
56_76	childhood development. However, one of Zero to Three's original founders, noted pediatrian T. Berry
56_77	Brazelton, was among the signatories of a letter of protest that was submitted to Zero to Three
56_78	calling on the organization to disassociate itself with the project.
56_79	Advisory board
56_80	Beginnings, like all Sesame Workshop and Kids’ Guide to Life projects, included an advisory
56_81	committee of "national child development and media experts"
