Music and your child

Great article and advice.. and i found that my children when they were babies would pay attention to the music i played when i carried them . and settle them as well..

My kids just listened to whatever I had playing, and now have a very wide range of music appreciation. Some of their friends think they are wierd, and then end up copying a lot of it. I tended to play a lot of musicals and they have all grown up with them,

I also believe playing soothing  or classical music to an un-born baby or even once their born.....helps promote a better sleeping pattern....relaxation & in most cases a calmer child.

Great  advice!

I too am a big believer of soothing music, it was the only way my oldest went to sleep as a baby and even now it still relaxes him.

Great article

hi there

i agree with you with this!

im a big fan of playing classical music to my children and i used white noise ocean sounds to help my son establish a good sleep routine in the first 12 weeks. if the soundmaker was on he woudlnt wake up!

Hi honey,

Thanks so very much for this . . I am a firm believer in the use of music to help relax or stimulate your child . . All my children have responded to music and as Sumara was so ill inside my belly I used classical music to relax her. When she was born she still responded to classical music . .

I've always had music on while i was pregnant, and when i do now, it relaxes them. I would always put the dolphin relax cd's on and other relaxation one's too, and you get relaxed to the max with them on.

I never specifically played music to our girls in the womb, however I did and do play music in the background all the time. Both girls love all forms of music.  R 7yrs play's harp and fiddle and little Caty 3yrs has alway's been fascinated with the piano, she actually sits properly and holds her hands in the correct extension, all just by watching us play which is quite cute. I dont know if this works but I would definitely give it a try, with soothing sounds, if I had another child. Both our girls however like to go to sleep listening to story tapes and I read a lot  out loud during both pregnancy's so who knows, it may well be a help, it certainly cant hurt. Thank you for sharing.
