Some thoughts and activities from Kindermusik(R)
"The Importance of Ritual
Kindermusik Foundations of Learning
In the simple interaction of daily care routines, Baby is learning from you in many ways- through your language, touch, eye contact, tone of voice, pacing and more. She is also developing a sense of sequence of the days events. Most importantly, though, in these acts of care she is learning how much she is loved by you.
Home Activity
As we go about our daily lives we create, and recreate routines. This may be done intentionally or without really thinking about it. Consider the daily routines in your life that relate to caring for your baby. Choose one of your routines to focus special attention on this week. As you go through that routine whether it be diapering Baby, feeding her, or taking her to her daycare, focus on adding a special element to the experience. You can take extra time, sing and talk to Baby, pay attention to sensory input- light, sound (music!), smells, taste, and touch- a kiss, a hug, or intentional touch as we did in class."
