5 Reasons Music Is Important For Kids
Music has been a big part of our children’s lives before they were even born. Trey would play Rockabye Baby! – Lullaby Renditions Of Guns N’ Roses via headphones over my pregnant belly. (If you’ve never heard of the Rockabye Baby! series.. it’s lullaby versions of your favorite music. Makes a really cool gift idea for expecting families too!)
Trey is in the music business and we hauled our babies (noise cancelling headphones on, of course) to shows starting at 6 weeks old.
We play lots of music around the house and always let them bang on instruments. It’s a big part of our lives, but luckily it’s SO great for kids too.
Exposing children to music early helps their emotional development, motor skills, literacy, language and more.
5 Reasons Music Is Important For Kids
- It helps them calm down. Playing soothing music helps cranky infants, tantrum ridden toddlers and kids naturally relax.
