A Music Alternative
Children love music. They love to dance to it and sing along! However, we as mothers sometimes need a break from the la la lyrics and the hyper peppy songs. Classical music can be the answer! I wasn't a big classical music fan growing up, and I didn't know if my kids would appreciate it, but now it's soothing to me and it calms my nerves . Surprisingly, my kids like it!
When things get frantic around the house, try putting classical music on in the background. If you don't have a classical music collection, you can tune in on the radio to classical music stations. The kids might really respond to it! I've noticed that my kids interrupt me less, concentrate more on their activities and seem overall more content!
