| Bringing Joy to Your Child with Children Songs |
|
|
For very young children, often times one of the biggest highlights of
their day is music. Children respond magically to music. And as we all
know, that wide eyed innocence doesn't last forever. Unfortunately, it
will probably be lost to adulthood. The innocent child has a gift for
hearing children songs and allowing themselves to totally be immersed in what they are hearing.
For them, it can be an experience
like nothing they have ever had before. As we grow, we learn to worry
about what others think, but a child doesn’t care. They are free
spirits. When they hear the music play they give it everything they
have, and have a blast doing it.
You can see this for yourself if you go to a Wiggles concert. Watch the children as the Wiggles begin to sing their children songs. It is truly a sight to behold, and as you watch the children, you may understand why the Wiggles love what they do so much. To see that much joy and that much abandon in a child is truly a magical sight. The children songs that the Wiggles produce seem to bring this out in spades.
You don’t have to go to a concert or a show to find children songs for your child to enjoy. You can find CDs, DVDs, and television shows they can watch. Kids really do love holiday songs as well. We have a whole library of holiday music. It includes Christmas songs for kids, Halloween songs for kids, and believe it or not, even Thanksgiving songs for kids.
You'll want to find something full of children songs so that they aren’t planted on the floor passively watching the show. You want something full of music and interaction. Get them up. Get them dancing. It's great exercise. When my daughter watches the Wiggles, she is up on her feet and moving the whole time.
For a special gift for your child, you can get children songs personalized for your children. A keepsake they can give to their own kids when the time comes. You can find these CDs online and in the mall.
Your child’s name can be inserted into the CD to give your child a special thrill when they listen to the children songs. Keep in mind that children are egocentric under age five, and they think everything is about them anyway, so they may not go nuts when they hear their name, some children expect it.
If you have a talent for singing or playing guitar, don’t be afraid to play along with some of your kid’s favorite children songs. They will love the interaction and the special time with you, and will be impressed that you like what they are interested in.
Keyboarding songs for kids are always a big hit as well. If you are really talented, go ahead and write some of your own. You may be surprised with what you can come up with, as long as you learn to think as a child. Children songs are about them, so keep that in mind as you write.
