They don\u2019t have to be though. Kids of all ages still love to sing, whether they\u2019re belting out a tune at a karaoke party or singing around a family campfire. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>The Benefits of Singing<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Singing teaches children many of the skills they\u2019ll need in school. When you sing, you need to consider patterns and rhythm. You exercise your memory to remember the words and express emotion to give the song more meaning. If you\u2019re singing in a group, you have to modulate your speed and volume to match those around you. All of these acts stimulate the brain and encourage healthy mental development. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Singing has been known to lower stress, and may even improve general health by improving respiratory airflow. <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.iseeme.com\/en-us\/my-sing-a-long-book-and-cd.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kids\u2019 sing-along songs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> also encourage kids to dance, helping develop strength and gross motor skills. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>What to Sing? <\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Honestly, you can sing anything you want with kids, as long as a) they enjoy it and b) the lyrics won\u2019t result in a phone call from the school\u2019s principal. The best songs to start singing with kids have simple lyrics and a simple rhythm. You know the ones: Itsy Bitsy Spider, I\u2019m a Little Teapot, and Ring around the Roses have all been sung for years\u2014and have the added advantage of coming with little dances included. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As kids get more confident with singing, you can move to more complicated songs like This Old Man, the Hokey Pokey, and Old MacDonald\u2019s farm. Add in some counting songs like 10 Bottles of Beer on the Wall or One Little, Two Little, Three Little Fingers to help children learn their numbers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Getting Kids to Sing<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your little one isn\u2019t sure about singing, give some <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.iseeme.com\/en-us\/my-sing-a-long-book-and-cd.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">personalized kids sing-along songs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a try\u2014there\u2019s no reason why Old MacDonald Had a Farm can\u2019t be sung as Happy Diana Had a Farm. Kids love hearing their names in songs and are often more willing to sing if they know the song is about them. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In today\u2019s work of smartphones, on-demand television, and electronic distractions, kids\u2019 sing-along songs sometimes feel like part of a different era.
