Balance the High & Low


The pitch of a sound (how high or low it is) initiates different responses from babies. How you use your voice can affect the energy level of playtime with your baby! Exposure to high sounds plays an important part in maintaining the alertness & energy needed for learning, then low sounds can be calming and soothing for when it's time to relax.

This week, try to use a wide variety of voice ranges when you talk to your little one. Integrate movement too - move your body from low to high as you make a low to high sound! Say poems & tell stories using your voice in different ways, sing songs which are high and low, and see how your baby responds :)

Feel free to post their responses here, along with any wonderful ways you can think of to explore high & low!
