When you think about the way most babies and preschoolers are learning now days, what is the first thing you think about.? In my case for example I relate most younger kids learning habits with the adult or caretaker they are usually with. It has been studied that babies are constantly trying to follow someone’s footsteps. By doing this most families are always creating some kind of pattern to be able to teach their baby something. As babies we have the tendency to watch and observe in a way that our brains try to follow what they see. In most babies newborns you won’t really see a baby moving a lot but you can be sure they are looking and observing all their surroundings. As they get a little but older around three months even six months all babies do is constantly trying to replicate what they see. This is the gap that most parents should be taking advantage by introducing as much learning things are they can.
Let’s face it most teaching methods for this younger age has not changed all that much. Teachers, and parents have been using patterns, children songs, and nursery rhymes for the last decade or so to improve their childrens development. All songs have a pattern to them, especially when it comes to children songs the rhythm and repetition words as well as the story to it, can be an amazing tool for any kid to learn something out of it. As younger babies nursery rhymes can lead to finger development, words, eye and hands coordinations, clap your hands, word developments, etc. For preescholers who attend school and other activities like story time at the library. It has been studied that any kind of activity that has children interacting with these kinds of rhymes can be extremely beneficial to them. Ultimately a rhyme has the possibility to even teach your child how to write, read, and open a whole new world to them. By simply repeating a few words and having your child go along with the sound, and follow their teachers instructions can teach them a variety of things.
If your a new parent you might be wondering what the best rhyme for my child might be.? However there is no right rhyme for one child, it is just usually the one the child seems to gravitate the most too. Maybe it is the one they sing along to, or dance to the most, or maybe is the one they constantly clap your hands too. Remember they are so many rhymes to choose from it is hard, there is Johnny Johnny yes papa, The Finger Family, The Itsy-Bitsy spider, and even Learning How To Play Basketball. The basketball is uike others in the sense that they introduce sports especially in kids ages 0-5 excercise is an incredible activity for them to be aware off.
