Music - Jumpstart Babies

The auditory sense is one's ability to correctly perceive, discriminate, process and respond to sounds. Enhance your child's auditory sense by playing "sound" games: ask your child to "find" sounds (e.g., ticking timer, music box) hidden at various places in a room, tell your child that you may change a word in the story to make the story sound "silly" and you want the child to "catch" you, or hide several noisemakers behind a screen (e.g., file folder) and have your child listen to the sounds then attempt to repeat the sequence when you remove the screen.
