Take
a walk with your little one and point out some of the sounds you
hear along
the way—ice cream trucks playing melodies, airplanes roaring,
birds chirping, church bells ringing, or children laughing. Now
ask your child to make some of these noises. Explain the difference
between hearing a sound and making a sound.
You
can use household objects to create engaging games with your toddler.
For
example use pots and pans to strike up the band, add a mixing
spoon, or
let your child pretend to create a specialty dish.
Noise
Anxiety
A
balloon pops. A vacuum is turned on. A lawn mower rumbles
in the distance. Some noises can be unsettling to
a toddler. But you can give a frightened child a measure
of control by explaining where the noise comes from and suggesting
that your child cover their ears if the sound is too loud.
