You are right babies should explore music naturally, a teacher directed music class is wrong for children so young. Giving a baby a tambourine and expected them to perform on cue could be detrimental to the child. They should be allowed to explore...
I really enjoyed your post. My husband is a drummer and I am a classically trained vocalist so introducing music to our kids was important. My daughter and I took a baby music and movement class and I even taught one for awhile. I loved the intera...
As my Ford cruised through the canyon, it started to rain. My six-year-old son and I were returning home from a birthday party for one of his friends. It had been a sunny afternoon, and then suddenly dark clouds converged. A bold radiance dramati...
I enjoyed your post maybe because I could relate so well. We have a music class in our valley that all the mother's go to and the only ones who really couldn't stand it were me and my sister. The second the teacher said, "happy dog - arr arr (thin...
This is a great post! Thank you! I remember being the child who always heard things in my own way (plays into me being a songwriter as an adult, I guess:)
One was The national Anthem. I couldn't ever figure out what the "DAWNSERLY LIGHTS" were.

Oh my gosh! You've just reminded me of a story about one of my nieces. My husband's brother and his wife are not church-goers, but they took their daughter to a Christmas service and were mingling in the parish hall where there were snacks availab...
My daughter used to sing "Jingle Bells Jingle Bells Jingle all the way, Old Mac Farm it is to ride..."
I remember hearing a sketch by Billy Connolly talking about a hymn he sang at church called Gladly the Cross I bear. For years he thought it wa...
When children misinterpret song lyrics, words or expressions, their mistakes are often more descriptive — and certainly more amusing — than what was originally written. Kids hear the darnedest things! And by hearing through the ears of our childr...

As Janet Julian, I acted and modeled for many years, but it wasn't until I became a mother and sought guidance from infant expert Magda Gerber that I found my life's work: childcare education. For the last fifteen years I have enjoyed teaching Parent/Infant Guidance Classes in Los Angeles.

As my Ford cruised through the canyon, it started to rain. My six-year-old son and I were returning home from a birthday party for one of his friends. It had been a sunny afternoon, and then suddenly dark clouds converged. A bold radiance dramatically backlit the clouds. Rain is a rare occurrence in South… Continue

When children misinterpret song lyrics, words or expressions, their mistakes are often more descriptive — and certainly more amusing — than what was originally written. Kids hear the darnedest things! And by hearing through the ears of our children we can share their fresh, innocent (and sometimes even more… Continue

Finally! An insidious product, cleverly marketed for over a decade to parents at the expense of our children, is being outed. But will parents wise up?
First, the good news: According to a recent article in the New York Times, “… Continue
I can relate to babies. I get over-stimulated in the supermarket the way babies do. I have a strange aversion to making lists and always believe I will be able to take a few minutes to march down each aisle, recognizing all I need to buy. Twenty minutes later, I’m in a zombie trance and have covered less… Continue

It has stopped snowing, about 20 degrees. I am getting ready to slide into work. The children should be all cranked up. Two days in the house and today is the Halloween Party day. How is it in Denver, Cold and Scary. Have a great day and a cup of something warm. http://www.examiner.com/x-2016-Parenting--Education-Examiner
