In addition to spiritual development, music also contributes to the development of the intellectual. In Japan, an experiment was carried out, during which music classes were conducted in one of the groups of the kindergarten, and in the other group, parallel to the group, no.
Later it turned out that those children who were engaged in music had the best concentration of attention, that they memorized new material much faster and learned it much better than children who did not have music lessons. Such miracles, created by musical melodies, are explained by the fact that due to its positive effect on the brain, connections between nerve cells are activated.
The most important period for the development of the brain and nervous system is the first six years of life of the young. That is why it is necessary to start the musical development of the child as soon as possible.
Scientists have long proven that if you hum or just listen to melodies, when the crumb is still in the mother's tummy, then after the birth the baby will recognize them and rather calm down.
It is best for a carapuse to perceive music before falling asleep or immediately after awakening. The point is that at such moments the children are in great need of emotional support. Then they come to the aid of familiar and close melodies and voices: they calm and give a sense of security and security.
Even our great-great-grandmothers knew that if you sing a lullaby to a child - he will calm down more quickly and fall asleep. And the music has the ability to help the crumb in the most difficult moments, for example, when the colic is tortured in the tummy, the tooth is bothering, which is about to cut through the other.
Of course, lullaby songs in my mother's performance are the best that you can give your baby. But singing will have a positive effect only if it gives you pleasure. If you are annoyed by something, then the karapuz immediately feels insincerity. Sing always when you want it and sing what you like: when you bathe, change clothes, feed the child. Not necessarily at the same time to ensure that the attention of the crumbs was focused solely on your singing. The kid can just play at that moment.
For sure you are interested, what style of music will have the most positive effect on your karapuza. Classics, jazz, popular or something else? Specialists in this regard say that it will be best for a child if you become acquainted with a variety of styles. Of course, this does not mean that the crumb should include heavy rock and metal - everything is fine in moderation. The main thing is to listen to music and delivered to mom and baby the maximum pleasure.
Do not forget about the music toys, which are now on the market a lot. Since the birth, you can hang a musical mobile over the crib of the child. He will move slowly around his axis to a pleasant, lulling melody. A crumb with great pleasure will watch the bright little animals. As the baby grows up, it will be possible to pick up other toys appropriate to age: soft "singing" toys, music boxes and instruments, and others.
Many karapuzy very much like to dance in time with the music. If your child is among them, then this is very cool and you should give the crumb the opportunity to move under the melody as often as possible. If the kid already knows how to walk and dance, then dance next to him, showing new movements, and if the child is still very small, then take it in your arms and dance with him. Such exercises not only raise the mood and charge positively, but also develop hearing, memory and coordination of movements.
