It is said that exposing babies to music from an early age is an effective way to improve various abilities.

For example, there was a time when classical music was said to be particularly effective.

However, it is now said that not only classical music but also other types of music are effective in developing babies' intellectual development.

Learning about this music will broaden the scope of your intellectual development.

4 developmental benefits of music for babies

It is said that exposing children to music from an early age can promote a variety of developmental benefits.

Let's look at some specific examples of developmental benefits.

1. Regulates the autonomic nervous system and helps you fall asleep more easily

Young children are prone to stress and anxiety, and their autonomic nervous system is less developed than that of adults.

When the autonomic nervous system is disrupted, it can lead to symptoms such as difficulty falling asleep and shallow sleep, and can also cause crying at night.

Listening to relaxing music can help regulate your autonomic nervous system.

By regulating your autonomic nervous system, you can expect to see benefits such as reduced stress and anxiety and improved sleep.

2. Hearing a variety of sounds improves language and imagination

The improvement of language ability is greatly influenced by the ability to distinguish sounds, and listening to music with a variety of overlapping elements has a significant impact on the improvement of language ability.

In addition, listening to music from an early age helps babies memorize melodies and distinguish between sounds, which can help develop their ability to distinguish between words and improve their language processing abilities.

Childhood is a time of rapid brain growth, so stimulating the brain through music develops neural pathways and leads to improved abilities such as imagination.

3. Listening to sound improves concentration

Listening to music unconsciously helps us concentrate. Especially when we listen to sounds we like, our concentration improves surprisingly. Therefore, listening to music from an early age can be said to improve concentration.

4. Developing a sense of rhythm improves physical ability

Even adults may naturally find themselves following the rhythm when music is playing. In fact, it is said that this rhythm has a significant effect on physical ability.

Listening to music helps develop a sense of rhythm and improves physical abilities.

Babies begin to respond to music around 5-6 months of age

There is no need to be overly conscious about it, but it is recommended that you start playing music for your baby around 5 to 6 months of age, when they begin to show a reaction to music.

Playing music while a crying child may draw their attention to the music and stop them from crying.

Children begin to move their bodies to the rhythm of music around the age of one.

Until then, the child is not yet able to walk, and can only sway his body from side to side and try to clap his hands in time with the music.

By the time they reach the age of two, they may not only be moving but also singing along to music.

★Two music genres that are effective for baby development

There are many different genres of music, and each has a different effect. Not all genres are effective for a baby's development, so try to have your baby listen to a genre that is expected to have a better effect.

1. Relaxing classical or healing music

Classical and soothing music has the same relaxing effect on children as it does on adults.

If your child has trouble falling asleep or won't stop crying, you might try playing them relaxing classical or soothing music.
