I've got the kit too. I found the reading material pdf files really useful, and will definately get DH to read the support person bits.

The info on breath, touch and language was HEAPS more useful than the 1-day antenatal class we did... that midwife covered breath in less than 5 minutes, and had gone the whole day forgetting it entirely until I asked about labour breathing at the end!!! (she wasn't the person who usually does the course though, just filling in!)

I found the video a little strange though... I've only have seen the first three chapters so far though.. and probably made the mistake of saving watching it until DH was with me, he wasn't in a terribly serious mood so didn't behave himself very well.. we weren't engaged enough with it to participate in the exercises... not really sure why... I think i might need to watch the whole thing myself, then just fast forward to the bits I want DH to watch. He's such a typical engineer - wants the practical stuff, nothing too airyfairy..

Also, I found the audio on perineal massage extremely confusing. I had NO IDEA what that woman was talking about, and I've got a background in human biology! I personally reckon it would have been easier to say "delve in, push out and down" and be done with it! I also haven't yet had the patience to listen to the entire birth breathing audio file... i listened for 5 minutes then started to lose interest ... bit hard to try and work out what's going on with just sound.. and it wasn't very good quality (which they explained).

It's still a great resource though because I can just tell him what to do, if he has read some basic parts of the new focus section we'll be well on our way.
