\nToday is Music Monday, a day to sing, dance, celebrate, and learn! Music\u2014especially active participation in music\u2014helps children learn and supports the development of the whole child: social and emotional development, language comprehension, motor skills, mathematical concepts, and much more.
\n
\nAnother advantage is that singing with your child helps the two of you bond! Even if you are not a great singer, your infant or toddler will benefit from hearing your voice. Incorporate songs into your everyday routines, and make up your own words to a familiar tune. For example, use this song while dressing your child, sung to the tune of \u201cThe Famer and the Dell.”
\n
\n\u201cThe socks go on the feet,
\nthe socks go on the feet,
\nthis is the way that we get dressed,
\nthe socks go on the feet.\u201d
\n
\nChange up the words for \u201cthe shirt goes over your head\u201d or \u201cthe pants go on the legs,\u201d etc. Head over to NAEYC.org for more Week of the Young Child Resources<\/a>.
