Teach Your Children Nursery Rhymes! (plus a new video!)

My children and I have always loved nursery rhymes.

In a time of electronics and over-committed schedules, I believe it’s more important than ever to teach your children nursery rhymes!

Nursery Rhymes connect us to a more simple way of life.

They expose my children to vocabulary they wouldn’t naturally encounter (ex: ‘Jack fell down and broke his crown‘).

They introduce my children to language patterns we don’t typically find in children’s stories.

But most of all, Nursery Rhymes are just plain fun!

You can’t help but smile when reading ‘Diddle Diddle Dumpling, My Son John!’
