Childhood music experiences actually accelerate brain development. Particularly in the areas of language acquisition and reading skills.<\/p>\n<p>Music experiences can be as simple as playing music for a child during nap time or dancing with a child. Music experience means just giving your child time to enjoy music.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.childrenscolorado.org\/just-ask-childrens\/articles\/benefits-of-pets\/\"><u>Animals <\/u><\/a><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Children love animals and loving animals benefits children.<\/p>\n<p>Pets benefit children\u2019s health.<\/p>\n<p>Pediatrician and Allergist Dennis Ownby, MD studied how pets impact children\u2019s health. He found that having multiple pets actually decreases a child&#8217;s risk of developing certain allergies.<\/p>\n<p>Pets help build family bonds.\u00a0They\u00a0bring families grow stronger and closer and slow down the often hectic pace of life.<\/p>\n<p>They develop a child\u2019s nurturing abilities. Caring for a pet as a young child enables him to be a caregiver when he is older.<\/p>\n<p>They increase social skills. Having a pet gives a child something to talk about and a shared interest with other children.<\/p>\n<p>Pets also provide comfort and an emotional safety zone. A group of 5 year-olds were asked who they turn to when they feel sad, angry, scared, or have a secret to share. More than forty percent spontaneously replied that they turn to their pets.\u00a0Children\u00a0who get support from their animal companions are less anxious and withdrawn.<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p>You do not need to be wealthy to enable a child to succeed. A library card, a pair of sneakers, a radio, and a gold fish bowl or other pet will help you reach this goal.<\/p>\n<p>Enable your child to soar like an eagle above life\u2019s storms.
