One-year-olds love music, so find some fun tunes and sing to or dance with your toddler.

If it seems that your child is singing along with you, you’re probably not imagining it. Music, with its catchy beats and often repetitive words, encourages young children to copy easy sounds that they hear.

Finding songs that your toddler loves and singing them often is a great way to bond while helping your child learn. Researchers believe that exposure to music helps accelerate brain development.
