I know from experience that children really like the repetition and rhythm of songs. Because they really like the beat of the songs.

great concept – never thought of it this way. Routines and rhythm really can help with math later in life.

I never thought of math being in songs! How to know that while they are enjoying the songs they are learning one to one correspondence!

Both babies and toddlers seem to enjoy the chanting and hand rhythms with songs. I wonder if there is a correlation between singing and math experience in preschool years?

I am glad to see the distinction between infant directed speech and baby talk. I think it is important for adults to know that babies enjoy and respond to a different pitch and type of language than preschoolers do

Babies are very fascinating. I believe that infants are influenced by our speech especially if we speak at a certain rhythm. Singing and playing games that involve mimicking encourages one-to-one correspondence.
