Words don’t matter. Interactions do.

For a long time, it was believed that what mattered most for language development was how many words a child hears.
But science tells a different story.
It’s not the words.
It’s the number of interactions happening around them.

Not about what they hear, but what they feel: that someone listens, understands, and responds.
Those back-and-forth exchanges—full of gestures, looks, and sounds—are what truly strengthen learning and growth.

In other words: the more time your little one spends with you, talking, singing, playing, the more active the areas of the brain related to language, logic, and memory become.

And that’s where music comes in (or, in other words, that’s where Petit Folks comes in).
Because when you sing with your child, you’re creating conversation—even without questions or answers.
When you repeat a song, respond to their look, or wait for their turn to follow the rhythm, you’re building something far more important than vocabulary: you’re building connection.

It’s not about all the words you could say.
It’s about the time you spend together, the echo between your words, their response, your smile, their gaze.

👉 Want your next play moment to be more than just fun?
Discover the Petit Folks boxes and turn every musical moment into a moment of connection.

Musical hugs,
