Our play along from this week was from Mary Poppins. Enjoy playing along and dancing to this great upbeat song at home this week.
REMEMBER
Sing lullabies to your child! The sound of your voice is a comfort to them. Studies have even shown when someone who is close to a child (parent, grandparent, sibling, nanny, etc) sings them a lullaby their body releases a hormone that helps them calm down and fall asleep.
For more benefits of singing lullabies with your child check out this article:
The Effects of Lullabies on Children
from the International Journal of Business and Social Science.
Here are my favorite reasons to sing lullabies from the article.
"2. When babies are afraid of sudden movements and sudden voices their blood pressure and heartbeats rise
immediately. Lullaby draws this high blood pressure suffered by children into a normal level and this is
achieved in a very short time.
3. Lullabies provide for a healthier period of growing up
A child that grows up by listening to the lullabies of its mother will have a much healthier kind of
communication with her.
6. While the baby communicates with the mother through lullabies its mind becomes active. Because as long as
the mother keeps speaking or singing the related perception centres in the brain of the child remain
stimulated. And this contributes to a faster comprehension of the desired information the baby is supposed to
perceive.
7. Some expressions taking place in lullabies transfer children lots of subjects about life.
8. Lullabies take the tension present on the child and thus ease the baby’s falling asleep."
