Fantastic Four: #3
Let’s move on to #3 in my fantastic four ways to boost your child’s speech and language development. Check out #1 and #2 if you haven’t read them already!
The third way to enhance your little one’s communication skills is to sing to them and play music for them. One of my favorite quotes about music is:
“Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul.”
The impact of music on a baby’s life and his or her overall development is profound. Music puts people of all ages in a good mood which makes learning easier. Studies have shown that we learn better and retain more information when we are in a happy emotional state!
Keep in mind that babies prefer high tones over low tones. They also prefer music in major keys versus minor keys. They also like simple, repetitive melodies. So, start singing!
Stay tuned tomorrow for #4!
