Music and Children....

Wow....
Such a hectic day for me as a working mom. Moreover, my husband is working outstation and will only come home on the weekend. I have to manage the house by myself and of course looking after the little one alone....

How I wish the daddy is around everyday... (^,_,^)

What to do, he have to work for the family....

The little one of course is very active as usual...And what surprise me is that, she really enjoy listening to the music. Eventhough she can only pronounce very few words at the moment (of course if u are not used to hear her talk, u will not understand the language), but when it comes to music, she suddenly can pronounce the some of words in the lyrics very clear.... So, I made a conclusion that she can learn better through music. I did not have time to do my research about this thing but I did read one article (forgot which article already) that when we continually let our baby listen to the same song, they will remember the song and when they grow up, they sometimes can automatically sing the song eventhough we already stop playing the song to them..

I think it might be true since I suddenly realize that my little one give respond when I played the song I used to play during I was pregnant last time. When I was pregnant with her, I used to play few songs to her and put the earphone on my belly so she can hear the song.. After she was born, I continue to play the same song to her every night until she was about 4 months old. After that, I stop played the song because the sound of the music sometimes distract her and she will not want to go to sleep if there is a sound around. That's why I stop playing music to her during her bedtime.

Only just now after about 1 year, I download the song I used to play to her last time and play it. To my surprise, she was sooooo excited and she did not even move during I play the song.. But when I play another song that is not familiar to her, she start to walk around and do her own things but when I play the song again, she will stop playing and concentrate with the music and when the song finished, she will start to do her own thing again... It was like she can attach with the song eventhough its the first time I play the song after a year...

I think she already record the song in her brain and when I played the song again, it was like a playback to her..... hmmmmm

Good Day moms... Best of luck to all of you with your children!

See you soon....
