BENEFITS OF MUSIC FOR BABIES AND CHILDREN

When the baby is in its mother’s belly, it is already able to hear music coming from outside. After birth, music continues to be a key element in the development of babies and children.

Music has many more benefits than we think in the first years of life. This week we bring you 5 of them that will convince you to put more music in their lives.

It stimulates the integral and motor development of the child: music activates the brain, stimulating neuronal activity, improves listening and speech learning in babies, which is necessary to retain the information that comes to us or, later on, for a correct reading. In addition to helping them in their coordination, balance and reaction to stimuli coming from outside.

Improves concentration, attention and memory: the repetition of sounds helps to create attention patterns and develop the ability to memorize lyrics and songs.

Increased ability to communicate and relate to the environment: thanks to music, the creation of skills that help the child to better relate to others can be favored.

It helps the emotional development of our children, since through music the expression of emotions is favored.

And finally, it gives them peace of mind: listening to music increases their endorphin levels, providing a sense of well-being and reducing stress. If the music is calm and relaxing, it will help them to be less hyperactive.

More music in the lives of our little ones!
