DewDrops—Lesson Four (Individuality)

Dear Village Parent,

This week as we shook the egg shakers to “All the Way to Galway,” it was a delight to watch each and every child discover something new. Several were toddling around while shaking the eggs, another was tapping the shaker on Mom’s back, and yet another was intently sitting and watching the class. Each week we have the opportunity to celebrate our children’s individualities!

Each child is unique and develops at his or her own level and pace. Because of this, each child will interact with objects in a way that supports that level of learning about the physical characteristics of objects—and that means every object at hand! Kindermusik supports the many ways in which children learn: exploring, experimenting, imitating, trying out new ideas, reinforcing strengths, and developing skills.

This week take a little time during your daily routines to enjoy the uniqueness of your baby—interactions with you and others, playfulness, curious mind, and music responses. The more one-on-one time with your little one, the more you will understand her level of development.

Until next time,

Lynda
