Tunes for tykes
Review by TownOnLine.com, Parents
and Kids of Eastern Massachusetts
Did you know that a baby’s brain grows
more during infancy than at any other time? As a matter of fact, a baby’s brain
reaches 60 percent of its adult size in the first year of life.
Many neonatal doctors, neurologists, and
psychologists believe that babies thrive considerably more during their first
year of life when they are exposed to soothing music.
Storytoons Entertainment’s new CD, " Love
Talk & Lullabies, " features 20 tender lullabies interspersed with more than
35 nurturing affirmations of growth and love. These soothing lullabies mixed
with softly spoken messages are designed to aid children into developing early
positive behavioral traits as they gradually fall into peaceful slumber.
According to neurosurgeon Eric Altschuler,
M.D., of Mercy Hospital in Pittsbury, Pa., clinical studies have proven that
music therapy and female vocal sounds, such as those recorded on " Love Talk
& Lullabies, " are helpful in increasing infant brain growth while decreasing
fussiness. "
Love Talk & Lullabies is available at various
music and book outlets and www.amazon.com. The CD retails for $14.99 while the
cassette costs $9.99.
