I've seen this before. It looks like torture. And the dunking in the water.... What purpose do either of these things serve? WHAT health benefits?? Can't people hear the babies crying and losing their breath?

What are the benefits supposed to be here?

Wow....wouldn't the constant swinging around cause or at least mimic shaken baby syndrome?

Crazy and very disturbing 
Leaves you wondering how many babies have been injured, or maybe even killed by people attempting this.

I would go to jail if I saw someone doing this to an infant

daycarediva 03:48 AM 07-31-2014

daycarediva 03:49 AM 07-31-2014

I thought at first the baby was a doll.

How did that not break the baby's bones? Arms and legs are not meant to be twisted like that! And the crying baby footage? If they are trying to convince people that this is good you would think they would have left that out

I stopped it too
realy bad for baby's arms and shoulders
I have a hard time watching parents let children walk up their legs and flip them
or just lifting by the arms
poor babies ...in the long run it is going to cause them problems
I cant believe this woman doing it doesn't know the issues to come of it

I googled the "guru" who supposedly invented this "technique".
http://www.anorak.co.uk/273838/stran...arkovsky.html/
LOTS of info about it out there. Supposedly it's been something parents in some countries/regions have been doing for over 30 years.
There was even a site dedicated to Russian children who "survived" this... (odd way to phrase it but okay...)
While I would never toss a baby around like that and certainly never condone others who do, you gotta wonder why some people believe so deeply in such odd practices.
But then again, our perception of odd is obviously different than others.

I gasped out loud. I cannot believe this is something people presumably pay her to do to their children. That looks so painful to their joints! I can't imagine the constant tossing is good for developing brains either.

I cant even watch that.
WTH?

Infants have died. I think I am going to be sick. An article about this method:

This is not Charkovsky's only comment concerning women's wimpiness. In the past he has defined women as "sheep who must obey their shepherds; women are incapable of thinking and do not want to understand anything." According to him, they "do not even know why they cannot grasp simple things, and this is why the man has to prepare everything for them in advance."
