🌟"I am loved." = I am safe, people care about me, and it's OK to be me. Positive affirmations can TRANSFORM your child's self-confidence and self-worth. Try it with them while they're little. It makes all the difference when they're BIG. #cmswebsteru #kindermusik #music

🌟Shape Vocab TIP🌟: ⚪️ Trace a clearly shaped object (like a non-breakable plate) with your finger. 🔈Say the shape out loud: "This is a circle!" 👆Take baby's finger, and trace and name the shape together.

Sometimes, little ones get stuck on certain tasks and have trouble shifting gears. 📚 Early activities that enhance cognitive flexibility can greatly improve your child's ability to handle multi-tasking and change later in life! @FoothillsAC #cmswebsteru #kindermusik #music

🌟Language Building TIP🌟: 1) Wait for your child to babble. 2) Then YOU imitate the sound. 3) Let them repeat it. 4) Change up the babble (like ""bah"" to ""boh"") 5) Let them repeat it. This promotes sound imitation AND serve-and-return! #cmswebsteru #kindermusik #music
