Music is something that we all love and enjoy. If your heartbeats, most likely you enjoy a certain kind of music. Studies have shown even animals do a little shake to certain types of beats and tunes. Just watch America’s funniest home videos and you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about. So what should you do when it comes to music and your kids? You should do absolutely nothing and just let kid be a kid. At this age, your kid is exploring and developing their own mind and taste regarding music.
If you study history and the role music has played in each culture, it’s phenomenal. Although critics say that music is just a pastime, I think it is a very big part of our development especially in the early stages as a kid. Music helps you understand emotion and emotion is power that can be transmuted through physical actions.
A kid’s brain is like a field where no matter what seeds you plow, they are going to grow into giant trees of information. Scientists have said that when a child is born, their mind is already ready for whatever information you can throw at them. Yes their brains are like a powerful computer that is just ready for all the information you can throw at them and as fast as you can.
It’s always the people that are closest to your kids like family and friends where they get their original music input from. Think about it, when that kid finally comes out, he or she is surrounded by most likely you (The parents) and other relatives. What ever you put in that kid’s brain, that is what the kid is going to know.
Just because you want your kid to be smart, don’t throw them into some fancy music lesson classes. If they don’t like it, you’ll only create unnecessary conflict and not to mention the harm you’ll do to your kid’s self esteem. A kid with good healthy self esteem is more happy and that is what it’s all about. Being happy, healthy and growing as a person.
