Is there any evidence that the "Little Einstein" products increase intellect?

I hear things about how it makes kids smarter, but what proof is there?

No there isn't any proof for the long term. The age they're at they may be advanced with some trivial knowledge. There's also been studies that show it decreases intelligence performance in the long run. Children may get fed up with learning faster than peers that just ended up going to the park instead.

Any such "evidence" is generally short lived. These products will not increase raw intelligence, but can assist with the cognitive development of the child. Any interaction, attention, thought invoking toys, etc. will do the same. Children become smarter based on long term habits and their long term upbringing. Nutrition plays a big role.

There is actually little proof, if any at all. The University of Washington actually found that it does not help learning. I learned that in my psychology college classes.

My grandchildren have been introduced to "Little Einstein" products and several other products that say they would increase the intelligence of children. If your child is interactive with the product, they are learning from it. The proof is in the results that you see in your child.
