Theme Music

Lots of people prefer to wake up to music rather than an alarm bell. Your toddler will also love to start every day with a song.
- Find a song that the whole family likes, since you’ll be hearing it or singing it every day!
- End the day with a peaceful lullaby to help soothe your toddler and get him ready to sleep.
- You can also adopt “theme songs” to help your toddler recognize what’s happening in his day—for example, “The Clean-Up Song” means it is time to clean up, or “Singing in the Rain” means it is raining outside.
