Try these 3 easy ways to pump up active listening skills:
1. A sound and nature based scavenger hunt 🌳🍂
2. Distraction-free music time 🎵
3. A classic game of telephone 📞

Group musical play in an age-appropriate setting is also a great way to help the learning stick!

"This instrument makes that sound when I tap it like this... but what if I tap it like this..." 💭
Improving analyzation skills through musical play is just one of the many benefits Kindermusik has to offer during early brain development! 🧠

100% normal: "My 3-year-old is not rockin' music lessons..." Here's the thing: championing musical CONCEPTS is a critical first step to championing instruments. That's where early group musical play comes in!

🌟"I am loved." = I am safe, people care about me, and it's OK to be me. Positive affirmations can TRANSFORM your child's self-confidence and self-worth. Try it with them while they're little. It makes all the difference when they're BIG.

Reading has rhythm. Songs have mathematical patterns. Music is intertwined into every part of learning!

Sometimes, little ones get stuck on certain tasks and have trouble shifting gears. 📚 Early activities that enhance cognitive flexibility can greatly improve your child's ability to handle multi-tasking and change later in life!

🌟Language Building TIP🌟:
1) Wait for your child to babble.
2) Then YOU imitate the sound.
3) Let them repeat it.
4) Change up the babble (like ""bah"" to ""boh"")
5) Let them repeat it.

This promotes sound imitation AND serve-and-return!
