About The Gesell Institute

The Gesell Institute of Human Development has been dedicated, for more than half a century, to understanding how children grow and learn. The Institute is a pioneer in the field of child growth and development. Through systematic observation and documentation of infant and child behaviors, the organization developed a standard of norms that illustrate a sequential and predictable pattern of growth and development.

Gesell's extensive longitudinal research of more than 10,000 children has provided fundamental knowledge of child behavior between birth and sixteen years for doctors, educators, and parents worldwide. The Gesell Institute is located in New Haven, CT.

About BAM Radio Network

The BAM Radio Network was launched to address the severe imbalance in parenting practices caused by the "commercialization of parenting" and the emphasis on intellectual development that excludes the critical role of the mind/body connection in early childhood. Created by leading early childhood experts, the programming challenges the popular genre of parenting notions that has given rise to commercial products like Baby Einstein, Brainy Baby and lapware, all of which claim to accelerate a child's mental development in the face of science that suggests otherwise. The network is a joint venture between New Hampshire-based Moving & Learning and Los Angeles-based Jackstreet Media Ventures LLC. The program is produced by Emmy Award-winning broadcaster Errol Smith and distributed through the Affiliate Nanocasting Network.
