Making Way For Baby: New Video from Amphion Communications Teaches Love in
the Womb
(Pompano Beach) Anxious mothers- and fathers-to-be received a helping hand today from
Florida-based Amphion Communications, which announced the release of its latest
educational video title, Make Way For Baby!. Based on the research of noted child
developmental psychologist Dr. Beatriz Manrique, this program teaches innovative prenatal
stimulation techniques that help parents establish early communication and build loving,
healthy relationships with their babies even before they are born.
Focus on Families Interest in prenatal stimulation has grown steadily as research results continue to
show that babies stimulated by methods such as singing and talking while still in the womb
tend to exhibit accelerated visual, linguistic, and motor development. Although most of
the attention has focused on results showing significantly higher intelligence and
creativity in stimulated infants, the developers of Make Way for Baby! emphasize the
benefits of prenatal stimulation for building healthy parent-child relationships. "We
are not out to create little Mozarts or Einsteins," said Amphion executive producer
Carlos Arenas. "Teaching parents how to communicate with their unborn child forms an
early bond of trust and love and provides the stable, supportive environment that every
child needs in order to learn and grow. We want to foster the kind of unconditionally
loving environment that makes children feel more secure exploring, learning, and
expressing themselves."
Recent studies have demonstrated the critical importance of proper child care during the
earliest stages of child development. According to experts such as Rene Van de Carr and
Thomas R. Verny the quality of care and level of stimulation in the first weeks and years
of life contributes directly to the child’s future health, happiness, and ability to
develop to his or her full potential. Additionally, babies who receive sufficient
stimulation grow up to have better relationships with parents and families and are much
less likely to suffer from neglect or abuse. "Prenatal stimulation is the first and
best gift a parent can give to a child," noted Anna Maria Ameli, a mother who
participated in Dr. Manrique’s prenatal program and collaborated on the Make Way for
Baby! project. "Providing a stimulating, safe environment before as well as after
birth gives kids the keys to success in the long term."
If you learn only one thing from this program, remember: The
more emotional and intellectual contact you have with your child during pregnancy, the
better your ability to communicate will be after the child is born. You will feel safer,
more confident, and more able to understand what she likes or dislikes; above all, you
will establish a continuous flow of affectionate communication that will make you feel
that you have always known your child.
Love and respect are the most important lessons your child will ever learn from you.
The potential benefits of prenatal stimulation may also
extend beyond the level of the individual or even the family. Amphion’s program
presents stimulation techniques first developed by Dr. Manrique for "Project
Family," a successful prenatal education outreach program designed to improve the
lives of at-risk children. "With today’s busy lifestyles, many things compete
with children for our attention," said Ameli. "This program reinforces parenting
skills and helps parents interact with their child early in an organized way."
According to Arenas, Amphion’s new program shares Dr. Manrique’s social vision
and interprets it for a general audience. "Hopefully, we can build a stronger, better
society, one child at a time."
A Complete Prenatal Educational Program
Make Way for Baby takes an innovative, comprehensive approach to prenatal parenting that
optimizes the emotional as well as physical well-being of both mother and child, preparing
them for birth and beyond. Parents are guided step-by-step through every stage of
pregnancy, and for each trimester they learn:
· How the fetus develops and when specific physical and sensory capabilities are
acquired.
· A range of techniques to stimulate the baby at every stage of development in order to
enhance mental ability and form a lasting bond of love and trust.
· Exercise routines to alleviate the physical discomforts of pregnancy, avoid injury, and
facilitate labor and delivery
· Relaxation exercises that promote emotional health for both mother and baby
Thanks to its chronological presentation, Make Way for Baby! grows with the baby to meet
rapidly changing needs. New stimulation techniques are introduced as soon as the fetus
develops the capacity to benefit from them, and new toning and strength exercises are
added to the mother’s routine as her pregnancy progresses. The program also
emphasizes proper nutrition and prenatal care.
Make Way for Baby! takes an interactive approach to prenatal stimulation. Rather than
simply piping pre-recorded sounds to the fetus, the video encourages parents to create
their own stimulation exercises following the examples given. "Parents have to be
actively involved, use their own voices, make up their own games. That way we optimize
bonding," explained Ameli. Arenas added, "The goal is to communicate love, not
just information".
