The cradle - from the word "shake", "swing." Mom rocked the baby and sang, about the same way lullabies were born, which became one of the genres of Russian folklore and survived to this day.Lady for the kid: music for meditation and relaxation - all this in our article.
Origins of creativity
The measured creak of the pole to which the cradle with the baby was suspended, its measured rocking, the rustling of the fabric created a rhythm and cast a melody, echoing these sounds, - monotonous, constantly repeating, lulling. Lulling - from the word "beat", that is, "talk," "tell." The lullaby is not only a song, but also a story, a fairy tale, a bike, a pottery. Mom told the baby in the lullaby about the surrounding baby, about what the crumb could already see or see in the near future. Such simple songs carried the first information: about his family, neighbors, animals. Mom acknowledged a little man in love, dreamed of a good future for the baby. Bayu-bayushki-bai, There lives a man on the edge, He is not poor, not rich, He has many children. He has a lot of guys, Everyone's sitting on the bench, Everyone's sitting on the benches. Grain of oil is eaten.
Lullaby - this is the first acquaintance of the child with his native language. The kid heard and memorized the phrases, which contributed to the earlier development of speech. Affectionate, full of love and care mother's voice acted soothingly. A quiet monotonous melody was lulling, and the kid quickly fell asleep. But, falling asleep, simultaneously unconsciously comprehended the people's wisdom, prepared for the future life. Sleep, fall asleep, By-By-Bye! Take your time, sleep, sprinkle. Hurry to harrow. We'll buy that hat, Zipun sew, Zipun sew, We'll send Boron. In clean fields, In green meadows. A child from an early age knew that he would grow up and work, help his parents. That is, lullabies were also of educational importance. Come, a cat, spend the night, We shake our child. How I to you, to a cat, For work I will pay - I Will give a piece of a pie, Yes a sip of milk. Here you have a simple worldly wisdom: the work must be paid for! Often in the lullabies the mythological images of Drema were mentioned. Ugmon - creatures designed to help the baby fall asleep, as well as images of a cat, pigeon, hare. It was believed that the cat drives away evil spirits and is a friend of the house-owner of the house. The mention of the cat in the lullaby served the child as an amulet. Many poets paid attention to lullabies. Lullaby songs are in Zhukovsky, Lermontov, Bryusov, Blok, Balmont. Nekrasov and many others. In the XIX century, lullabies were very common in academic music. Suffice it to recall Tchaikovsky, Glinka, Alyabyeva. In Rimsky-Korsakov's opera "Sadko" a lullaby is a separate room, on which a large semantic load lies.
But what about now?
Modern children, it seems, do without lullabies. At best, they are replaced by quiet music, or even just a TV, conversations of adults and other noises. Employed parents do not have time to lull their children. And someone sincerely believes that the kid will certainly become spoiled and will constantly ask for pens. This is not true. Communicate more with the baby. If the crumb does not sleep well and is too excitable, instead of leaning on medicines, take it on the handles, sing songs, caress, kiss the crumb, put it under the barrel, sing to him tender lullabies. We are always in a hurry, and we value our personal time above all. But is it true that in the villages several centuries ago the mothers had more free time? Hardly! It was necessary to keep housekeeping, take care of the farm, work in the garden, and even give birth to children, almost every year. But the medicines were not known for certain, except that they dried and brewed the herbs. Also it was necessary to calm babies by other ways - natural and very effective. Now children, such educated, intelligent, developed by age, often receive less than the elementary parental attention. In the future, they do not feel under the reliable protection of their parents, do not have a warm trust with them. This, in turn, can create problems in communicating with peers: the child is too short. Children do not have enough parental attention, warmth, and this is confirmed by scientific research. The nervous system of children is not as perfect as in adults, so we need to help the child calm down, create psychological comfort. The first thing you need to do to make the child healthy is to take care of creating psychologically comfortable conditions for him. And lullabies are a great help. Kroha feels warmth, mother's care and calms down. Recently I became a mom the second time and willy-nilly remembered the lullaby songs that sang to the first child, and even before that they were sung to me by my mother. Now I'm happy to sing them to my children, and they, in turn, listen to them with pleasure. Experiencing the need for texts for lullabies, she began to compose them herself, when the baby was not born yet. Like mothers who lived centuries ago, I built them on the principle of "what I see, about what I sing and" and put my love in them.
Fresh air I breathe,
Lullabies I write,
Quietly I will hum.
And my baby - to fall asleep.
The dog and cat fall asleep, The hippopotamus falls asleep, Sleeps a long prickly hedgehog, The more you sleep, the faster you grow. You do not have to invent poetry, you can use ready-made. It is not necessary to have a hearing and a voice. For a baby, your voice is already the best. Just love your children, these priceless treasures, and feel the joy of communicating with them.
