Music for kids (and parents!)
On Instagram, we’re often encouraging you to sing with your little one. There are so many benefits, and you’ll love seeing their little faces light up! We also like to play music for our kids and use it in therapy sessions with kids every now and then. We recently shared some of our favourite music for kids over on Instagram.
It’s nice to have some music that the family can all enjoy together, and it’s amazing how putting on some good tunes can change the whole vibe of an afternoon at home or a ride in the car.
We loved the suggestions from other parents in the comments of the post. Thank you!
Here is a list all in once place for easy reference.
