newsletter- May 2008
Leanne Cummins has brought
together a hand-picked team of contributors
(professional and lay people) to provide parents
with a comprehensive preparation for parenthood.
I must praise all the presenters for their clear
and genuine presentation skills which ensure
these DVDs are so much more than just a training
tool. It is obvious from the comprehensive
subject matter and attention to detail just how
much thought went into each segment.
The three DVDs could not fail to impress any new
parent looking for honest realistic commonsense
advice to guide them from pregnancy to
parenthood. The use of personal accounts to
highlight certain issues is compelling. This can
be tricky when covering subject matter that has
the potential to be ‘dry’, whereas, in this case
the opposite becomes true. These generous
individuals bring life to each new segment and
the viewer is left in no doubt about the
relevance of each person’s advice.
Not only was the information accurate and
evidence-based, it was presented with genuine
concern for the new parent which must be highly
commended.
I particularly liked the holistic approach to
care during pregnancy which runs through the
whole DVD. This is in contrast to the more
medical model of care that, too often, sees
pregnancy as a ‘problem’ waiting to happen!
The lovely idea to include ‘out-takes’ at the
end of each DVD is a delightful touch,
reinforcing the informal approach. You can also
skip from one section to another which means you
can dip into the advice as and when you need to.
This puts the viewer in control being both
useful and time-efficient.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this
set of DVDs to new parents who, for whatever
reason, cannot attend or do not live close
enough to a unit where antenatal classes are
offered.
