It’s that time of year again—the period during
which we resolve to lose weight, save money and live life to the fullest. Yet
how does your baby benefit from this time of year? While infants and toddlers
are too young to make their own New Year’s resolutions, the good news is, you
can focus on a few ways to boost their development. A fun and extremely beneficial
way is through the use of baby music!
We know that music affects a child’s
mental, physical, social and emotional growth; something few toys can do on their
own. Why not come up with some ways to integrate music into family’s activities
and to spice up ordinary activities, such as bath time or meals? The great thing
about children’s music is that it’s very low cost, and sometimes even free. How
hard is it to sing a song to your child or along with them? It makes for a fun
and bonding experience that de-stresses the adults involved as well.
Incorporating songs and children's music into your infant or toddler’s
life is also as easy as popping in a baby DVD or CD for them to watch or listen
to. Watch what happens—they’ll be wiggling around in no time, giggling and
smiling to no end. Plus, they’ll simultaneously be improving and developing
their coordination, vocabulary, language skills and rhythm—all of which will
benefit their academic learning.
In our next post, we’ll pose some ideas for
resolutions involving the use of baby music. In the meantime, come up with some
ideas of your own and send them to us. We love hearing the different ways that
parents everywhere augment their children’s learning and development.
