Why Sing with Infants and Toddlers?

Developmental Benefits of Using Music With Babies This week, I’m bringing back the very first episode of the Learn With Less® podcast. We’ve been going strong for 5 and a half years now, and whether you’re brand new to Learn With Less or you’ve been in our community for a while, I want to bring this information to the forefront of your mind again. It’s so exciting to revisit content I created years ago, both because the heart of that content is still so very relevant today (which is of course why I’m sharing it with you again), and also because it helps me see how far I’ve come as a content creator, a parent educator, a business owner, and a human! I remember sitting down to record this episode originally, after having led my “caregiver & me” classes for several years, and thinking that it was time to experiment with form. You’ll see that in these early episodes, the podcast was really very much an extension of our classes. These days, I refer to the topic in today’s episode as related to third pillar of Learn With Less®, which is SING. If you don’t know yet, we have 4 pillars, which are play, talk, sing, and move! I’ll step aside for the actual episode in just a moment, but I do want to encourage you to explore all the resources on our website, which is now learnwithless.com. If you’re curious about our Learn With Less® “caregiver and me” classes, you are invited to head to learnwithless.com/democlass where you can sign up to watch a short pre-recorded version of that experience! I can’t wait to hear what you think. ** The information, songs, and ideas listed herein are protected by copyright.
