Grandmas have a special place in their heart for the grand kids.
They’ll never say no, and chances are, something smells really good in the kitchen when the kids come to visit.
Aside from mom and dad, perhaps no one else is as excited to meet the new baby as grandma.
She just wants to get her hands on that little bundle of cuteness!
When mom is busy, grandma is willing to take charge.
Look at grandma here, not wanting to put her grandchild down but instead lovingly singing to her.
Yes, it’s definitely common, grandmothers singing to the kids.
But we never get tired of seeing moments like these.
There’s nothing as pure and as sweet as a grandma’s love.
Grandma has her eyes on this adorable baby girl, her arms embracing the baby, serenading her grandchild.
“That’s adorable! My four month old sings with me when I sing too. It’s so precious. Babies are so sweet.”
A viewer commented.
What does the baby do? She sings along with her grandmother!
Study author Laura Cirelli, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto, says,
“Infant brains must be able to track auditory events in a predictive manner to make sense of music. Music is a tool that we can use to bring people together, and this starts in infancy.”
Singing actually benefits an infant’s cognitive development.
Particularly, these songs can increase a little one’s attention and displays of positive emotion towards the singer.
In this case, it’s grandma!
Babies are all about those five senses. Everything they absorb has a huge impact on their development.
So while we adults gush over the little one, singing and hugging are doing them more good than we think.
Just look at how this baby girl is responding to her grandma’s singing. She’s trying to catch that melody herself!
Another viewer named Deng commented,
“She will start singing before she could talk. So adorable!”
We think so too!
There’s a reason why nursery rhymes exist. There’s a purpose to adults being wired to suddenly start cooing and singing when interacting with a baby.
Babies learn to process sound at about twenty-five weeks.
Which means the pattern, rhythm and words start to enter that little mind of theirs. So it only follows that the child will try to imitate those sounds.
Like iseeme says on their site,
“Singing to infants strengthens the bond between parent and child, and helps regulate the baby’s arousal level—it’s sense of awareness and attention. By altering the baby’s mood, singing may help with feeding and sleeping, which in turn positively affect the infant’s growth and development.”
Keep singing to her grandma!
And even if this baby girl turns fifteen or twenty, I get the feeling grandma will still be singing to her. that’s just how wonderful grandmothers are.
And don’t forget their fantastic cooking!
Don’t you just miss grandma?
