Village/Do-Si-Do/Week 6

Dear Village Parent:

Rituals help provide a sense of meaning and of comfort to little ones. Gathering Time—a time to greet each other, Quiet Time—a time to relax and listen, and singing the same hello and goodbye songs each week are some of the Kindermusik Village rituals. Singing hello and goodbye to each individual also helps the child begin to develop a sense of self and to affirm that he is important to us.

What rituals and routines have you developed at home? Nap time, bath time, bed time, dinner time, stroller time, and cuddle time are all good times around which to build rituals! Take note of your home rituals this week and look for opportunities to enhance them with music.
