Managing Music: Raising Good Kids In An ‘R-rated’ World — 2 Comments

  1. I believe that music is a language that can transcend all cultures. Besides listening to music as a family, I also think it is great to act it out or participate with it. This can be by doing silly dances together to a favorite song, or if you have classical music, you can act out stories as to what they think is happening in it. You can go to musicals (some have adult situations but there are so many great kid musicals). But yes, emphasis on the parents setting the example and filtering through what is beneficial for the little ears to hear.

    • Great points Annalisa! As you probably know we do our fair share of silly musical activities in our household but I hadn’t thought about acting out stories to go with classical music. Our little opera singer would enjoy that! And right along with your thoughts, as the schools have to trim back music education more of that has to happen at home. There is great value in learning about different genres of music. Thanks for your comment!
