Singing to help them understand

These days, when everything slows down and there’s finally time to sit together, it’s worth remembering something:
it’s not just about reading a story or singing a song.
It’s about helping them understand what they hear.

When you ask, “What do you think will happen?” or “Why do you think the frog is sad?”, you’re not just talking.
You’re teaching them to reflect, predict, connect.

When you say, “This reminds me of when we went to the forest,” you help them link what they hear to their own experiences.

Or when, before reading or singing a story, you ask “What do you know about frogs?”, you’re activating their prior knowledge.

That’s where the magic happens:
when what they listen to —and think about— makes sense because it has context and emotion.

And the same thing happens with songs.

When you sing together, you can pause on a word, a story, a character.
Ask, imagine, compare, remember.

That’s how music becomes something much bigger than a melody:
a tool to understand, think, and connect.

🎶 At Petit Folks, every song is created with this in mind.
Each illustration, each story, is an invitation to pause, talk, and discover the world together.

✨ And these days, when time moves a little slower, are perfect for cherishing those moments.
