Ability Develops Early
Success in one task will lead to more success. The earlier a child learns the satisfaction that comes with success, the earlier that child can move on to new skill development.
Delight of Learning
Dallas Baby Music Classes seek to build on the child’s natural delight in learning and lays the foundation for life-long learning.
Success Breeds Success
Success in any task has some implicit rewards but when the environment provides some social or physical rewards like approval or a hug, the child quickly learns to repeat the effort.
Encouragement Is Essential
The social reward of a supportive parent or adult (or other child) will speed the learning and remove doubt about what constitutes success in a child’s learning experience.
Environment Nurtures Growth
When parents, teachers, and adults around the child are supportive and helpful, when they reward the child with positive feedback for efforts they make and when they show acceptance of the small successes that children have, the environment is nurturing and helpful for growth.
