It may sound simple, but putting on some music and dancing with your toddler helps to make important brain connections. So sing a song or put on your favorite CD and dance. It doesn’t have to be music created specifically for children to be fun and valuable for their development. | | | | Dancing to music also encourages the development of toddlers’ motor skills. Bouncing to the beat helps them practice coordinating their limbs and motions. | | | | Disclaimer: This page is not intended to provide medical advice about your child.
