Our Favourite Kids Music That's Enjoyable for Adults Too

2 min read

There are tons of studies showing the benefits of music for young children.A quick Google Scholar search pulls up thousands of journal articles showing links to improved:

literacy
creativity
social development
language skills

And not only is listening to and learning music beneficial for children, there's also the wonderful gross motor benefits of dancing.You can even use music to reset the mood at home, something I talked about a couple months ago here.

The only funny thing about listening to music with children is their enjoyment of repetition. If your child is like most, they'll happily listen to the same song 8-800X in a row.But it's this repetition that helps build a child's confidence. The predictability appeals to their sense of order and helps them feel more secure, knowing what will happen next.Knowing that, we've put together our current favourite kids music that's more enjoyable for adults...... So you'll mind a little less when you've heard the same song for the 14th time in a row.

And if you have suggestions, I'd love to hear them! I'll add them to the post when we put this email up on the website.
