Out of the many that can be used perfectly to illustrate traits that a family has, we’ll only go over three. The first one is “hush little baby”. The creator is unknown but this particular song has been around for a very long time and has been used in the infancy’s and childhood of many children who’ve come and will come for years to come. Throughout the song, the child/infant is promised many present if the child is lax and tranquil. This can show a child that if they behave, they can gain a lot in life and can serve as a great conversation started where the parent dives further into how hard work is needed though and other topics.
Next is the popular nursery rhyme “ Three Little Kittens “. The three kittens are siblings who are looked after by their mother. This nursery rhyme in particular serves as a great way to teach your children an important lesson. It teaches children to be observant. As a parent, you can explain this to your child. To learn from the mistakes of others so they won’t have to go through them themselves. As for the responsible parent role, the mother cat didn’t seemingly notice the mittens which resulted in the kittens soiling their mittens. These aren’t only for children to learn from, but also parents and those children will one day be parents themselves.They’ll be very observant of their future children so those kind of mistakes don’t occur. Taking the future of the kittens into consideration, one can say t may be grim and those kittens may grow up with problems that they acquired during their youth. That’s what happens often time in real life. So it’s also a reminder to the parents that their child’s education and future is in their hands at the start, just like a child learning how to ride a bike.
