Music's Power

Take full advantage of music's power for learning, delight, and bonding. Nurturing a true music lover begins at birth (and probably even before).

Try following this prescription (begin practicing during pregnancy):

. Sing EVERY night at bedtime. (You don't have to be a singer...the child hears the heart behind the voice.)
. Enjoy dancing with abandon every day to favorite recording. (You don't have to be a dancer...all movement supports growth and development.)
. Accompany every diaper change with a nursery rhyme.
. Play calming music at naptime(s) or meltdowns.
. Incorporate a time to bounce to a beat. (Just bouncing steadily and stopping will evoke spontaneous giggles.)
. Rock, rock, rock.

Security

Babies who have warm, responsive care are more resilient later in life. By following your instincts to cuddle Baby, you are providing the security and safety necessary for Baby's healthy development.
