Teach your child to do a happy dance. Dance to fast music and to slow music. Hold hands and dance together. Clap your hands to music or use large wooden spoons or beat on something that makes a nice noise. Show your little one how to keep the rhythm and play along with the beat.
Children grow up to like the kind of music they hear when they are little.
Play different kinds of music and your child will learn to like many kinds. Remember, this booklet describes a typical child at each age. Each child is special and each child develops at his or her own pace. Perfectly normal children may do things earlier or later than those described in this booklet. If you are concerned about your child s development, see your doctor.
