Usually, parents (especially mothers) talk with their babies from birth: they tell simple rhymes or sing songs. Children listen to them with pleasure, even at an age when they still do not understand anything. Pediatricians say that this is very important for the child, as close contact is established between the mother and the baby, and the baby learns the pleasant intonation and voice of a loved one.

Means to cheer up a child

A long time ago, nursery rhymes were invented for the smallest: their parents use them for educational and educational purposes. They are small verses that are easy for children to understand and easy to repeat. Nursery rhymes are one of the types of oral folk art, with the help of which a child can be cheered up or adjusted in the right way, when he suddenly became stubborn or upset for some reason.

Rhymes for the little ones are a wonderful invention of mankind, which helps the child to get acquainted with the outside world. Some of them are accompanied by certain gestures or facial expressions on the part of adults, which kids readily remember and repeat.

For example, since childhood, the well-known "Goat Horned" will certainly cheer up any child, even if he just cried and looked unhappy. And all because he knows: when mom and grandmother sing these unpretentious rhymes in the manner of a song, they will be followed by a certain gesture that causes delight and merry laughter in the baby.

Reflection of real life

Any other genre of folk art undergoes some changes over time, but not nursery rhymes for the smallest, which even among different peoples of the world have almost the same meaning in translation. Perhaps this is due to the fact that they reflect the same events of everyday life:

• wash;
• feeding;
• walk;
• preparing for bed.

A child, hearing funny rhymes from parents, perceives the word and gesture, which affects the mental abilities of the baby. Singing nursery rhymes for the little ones, mothers and grandmothers put a certain meaning into their actions. For example, a little daughter does not want to go to wash, then you can help her - offer to play the game "Let's wash", singing:

Oh, the water is good!

Clean water!

Bathing (Nastenka, Katya) baby, To make her face shine!"

A girl will gladly get into the water and let herself be washed when her favorite rubber toys float in a bath or a large basin, and her mother allows her to play with them and participates in the game too.

To help parents

In other words, nursery rhymes for the little ones are created for both children and parents. They help in a playful way to do what the baby obviously does not want to do, but this is necessary. Moreover, they can be used from the earliest childhood.

For example, some nursery rhymes for the little ones are used during massage:

Stretch my buddy

Turn to the barrel, Turn on your tummy, Smile gently for Mom!"

In nursery rhymes, you can refer directly to the baby, replacing the desired word with the name of a boy or girl. "Playing" in this way with their son or daughter, mothers and fathers do a great job: they teach the child to listen and hear!
