Want A Happy Baby???? Sing To Them

A new study that was recently published in the journal Child Development suggests that parents should frequently sing to their babies because it has a positive impact on a child’s mood and can improve the health and well-being of parents.

The study was done by an international team of scientists and it involved 110 parents and their babies participating in a music enrichment intervention program. The program encouraged caregivers to sing more frequently to their kids using instructional videos and a child-friendly songbook.

The results showed that increasing baby-directed singing led to improvements in infants’ general mood, caregiver-infant bonding, and later social-emotional development. The researchers are now exploring longer-term effects of singing on infant health.
