<b>Step 1: </b>Choose a simple song your child enjoys listening to (you may play a recording of it or sing it yourself). </p>\r\n<p><b>Step 2:</b> As you play or sing the song, make a movement (such as stomping) for each syllable you hear/sing. </p>\r\n<p>Example: <i>Mary Had a Little Lamb</i> </p>\r\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\">鈥淢a ... ry had a lit ... tle lamb鈥 </p>\r\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\">stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp </p>\r\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\">鈥渓it ... tle lamb, lit ... tle lamb鈥 </p>\r\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\">stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp </p>\r\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\">鈥淢a ... ry had a lit ... tle lamb鈥 </p>\r\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\">stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp </p>\r\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\">鈥淚ts fleece was white as snow鈥 </p>\r\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\">stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp </p>\r\n<p><b>Step 3: </b>Encourage your child to follow along to the best of her ability. This is more about exposure and having fun than it is about "doing it correctly." </p>\r\n<p>You may notice that your child is able to sing a few of the words clearly, but then babbles for the other words (sometimes, in time to the music!). She is approximating the sounds she hears in the song. Celebrate any and all attempts your toddler makes! </p>\r\n"}} id=text-f6506a9890 class=cmp-text>
