The Importance of Singing to Your Baby or Young Child

There’s nothing more enlightening for your baby than to see you sing to him. Singing not only brings a joy to your child, but it helps him develop his language skills. Use your hands, your arms and your whole body to sing a song. Be interactive with your child by touching him and having him do the gestures of the song with you. Singing with your child is a wonderful bonding moment. Of course, if you don’t like to sing, you can always put on some catchy tunes. Just be sure your baby is exposed to music. Music makes your kids play for longer periods of time and playing music during playtime actually makes them happier.
