Choosing is also learning
Share
There’s a stage —or several— when little ones seem to know exactly what they want… and, above all, who they want.
“Mummy, not you.”
“Daddy do it.”
“I wanted the green plate.”
And even though it sometimes throws us off (or leaves our hearts a little bruised), behind those small battles lies something deeply valuable: they’re learning to decide, to show preferences, to build their own voice.
The freedom to choose —even in everyday moments— helps children feel heard, understood, and actively part of the world around them.
It’s not always about giving them what they want, but about showing them that their opinion matters.
🌱 Listening to what they say, even before they can speak
Babies and young children show preferences very early on. Through gestures, looks, smiles or small movements, they communicate far more than we imagine.
That’s why tools like Petit Folks are so powerful: the illustrations linked to each song allow them to express what they want to hear or sing, even before they can talk or read.
They choose, point, smile.
And you know that song means something to them.
✨ Choosing is also growing
Every time we let them choose —a song, a card, a way to play— we’re silently telling them: I see you, I hear you, I trust you.
And that feeling of being heard is the beginning of confidence, empathy and emotional security.
At Petit Folks, we believe in that: in giving them space to decide, to express themselves, to say “I choose” through play, music and shared connection.
Because, in the end, that’s what it’s all about: building bonds where every voice —big or small— has room to be heard.
