Balance the High and Low
High and low pitches are basic elements used by the speaking and singing voice. As we speak, the rise and fall in pitch or inflections can initiate different responses from Baby. Research has discovered that exposure to high sounds plays an important part in maintaining alertness and energy required for learning. There is a tendency to need more sleep, be less active, and get ill more often when high-pitched sounds are removed from the environment.

Use a wide variety of voice ranges as you talk to Baby. Notice the response between using a voice that is animated with wide ranges of high and low, and a speaking voice that stays in the lower reister. Your voice may determine the energy and level of interaction during playtime. Observe Baby at bedtime when your voice drops into a low soothing sound. The calming effect of the lower voice range can be effective when you are trying to relax your child.
