SINGING
-
Young children love to sing, so sing everywhere - in the car, in the bathtub, at the store and at the table.
-
Make music with things you have in the house - pots, pans, spoons, boxes, cups. Crawl around on the floor with your child to the beat of the music.
-
Songs have a note for each part of a word, so when you sing you’re helping your child hear that words have smaller parts. Clap or tap along to better hear these smaller parts.
-
Sing the same quiet song at bedtime. Repetition and routine is good for young children and they will know it’s time for sleep.
-
Sing a song you remember learning as a child. A song that was special to you can become special to your child, too!
