Listening skills

The ability to listen is a skill that young children need before they get to pre-k . Children do not learn theses skills on their own you have to teach them.You can begin by playing soothing music for your infant . You should have one just for rest time .You should play age appropriate music : It should be slow ,the words should be clear. This allows the young child to also learn language skills from the music .they soon begin to sing along with the different. Reading to young children also teaches them active listening skills.
