How to travel in peace with your children? (or almost)

In our article, we have concocted different musical tunes to listen to depending on your child's age. You will also discover all the benefits of music on his behaviour!

Music can also calm and comfort him. It's well known and parents do it naturally: they hum a sweet lullaby to their baby when he cries or to put him to bed. Soft music has the effect of making the infant feel safe. And soothing music helps concentration and stimulates empathy.

Here is a list that will help your child relax:

 . Marconi Union - Weightless 

. DJ Shah - Mellomaniac (Chill Out Mix).

. Enya - Watermark 

. Coldplay - Strawberry Swing 

. Barcelona - Please Don't Go 

In addition, for your toddlers, nursery rhymes promote phonological awareness and word recognition. It is around 2 years old that a toddler is able to learn a little song or nursery rhyme.

They are effective when they involve several repetitions because they become predictable: this is why easy songs or "sung nursery rhymes" are spontaneously adopted by young children. 

. Un éléphant qui se balançait

. Vive le vent 

. Une souris verte 

. Au clair de la lune

. Une chanson douce 

. Ainsi font, font, font

. Sur le pont d’Avignon 

. Maman les p’tits bateaux 

On the other hand, commercial or mainstream songs, such as those heard on the radio, have development potential because they consist of verses and a commonly repeated chorus, which will help develop your child's cognitive abilities and accelerate language learning. Happy songs stimulate creativity. 

. Havana (feat. Young Thug), de Camila Cabello

. Despacito (feat. Justin Bieber), de Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee

. Perfect Symphony (with Andrea Bocelli), d’Ed Sheeran

. Free Fallin’ (Live), de John Mayer

. Let It Go, d’Idina Menzel

. Libérée, délivrée, d’Anaïs Delva

So make sure you have as much variety of music in your repertoire as possible, not only to suit all occasions, but also to enjoy all its benefits!
