Music is one of the best stimuli to develop babies’ motor skills, and they love it, and moving at their own pace helps them exercise.
It is scientifically proven that music is an excellent alternative to stimulate the intelligence and development of babies. And since there is no melody without dancing, here are five tips for your little one to learn to move their hips at their favorite rhythm.
1. Sitting: Sit the baby on your knees, facing you. Play upbeat music and swing your legs to the beat of the tune as you sing and smile. The little one will have a great time with the surprise of the “little jumps” and will take the rhythm naturally.
2. Up and down: When the baby is eager to walk or very restless, play music with tropical and rhythmic rhythms. Sitting on you, take his hands and move him back and forth. In this way, you help him release energy and he will understand that music is, above all, something playful
3. Test! Take your child by the hand and let him move by himself to the beat of the music. Dancing develops his creativity and makes him more aware of his own body: he learns to control it, moving his hands and legs as and when he wants.
4. Clap: this simple action trains the baby to coordinate his movements with skill and to have more rhythmic movements, which stimulates his intelligence.
5. Laps: turn on itself, jump, go from left to right … help your child to know his body better and coordinate it. And if you accompany him, dancing will delight him.
Finally, it is important to mention that dancing from a young age also contributes to promoting baby’s language, making him more sociable and improving his memory. There are no excuses to stay seated!
