As you’re putting your child to bed, rock them gently and sing softly to them. Pay attention to how they tell you they want more singing. Do they turn their head toward you? Smile? Move? What do they do to say “enough?” Cry? Turn away? Take note of how to respond to their cues now and in the future!

Singing to your child before bedtime is like a calming conversation using music. You sing, they respond, you respond etc. They’re learning how it feels to calm themself, which is an important life lesson.
