Preschoolers not only get most of the words to favorite songs right, they like to make up their own. Have you ever caught your child singing her own tune when she's playing alone? The song may have nothing to do with her play--she'll be singing about little birds while putting together a train puzzle--but it's her own accompaniment to her game. Preschoolers also like to narrate their play. Sometimes they narrate out loud, and then suddenly the soundtrack goes silent as the narration becomes internal, on to emerge out loud again a few minutes later. Your child may just be the star of her own little opera! And even if she's pretty much unaware of such subtleties as staying on key, she takes great pleasure in singing to her heart's content-and she loves it when you join in. Enjoy it while you can-at this tender age your child still prefers your voice to anything on the radio, so don't be embarrassed to sing along!
