What is a lullaby for children

Everybody knows what lullabies are. These are melodic and calm songs, which are filled with incredible warmth and tenderness. They are sung by loving mothers to their children. Kids under such songs are very comfortable to fall asleep, they feel completely safe. Mom's voice is best known to crumbs, it calms and lulls. This is a kind of food for the spiritual development of man since birth. To my great regret, not everyone understands what lullabies are, and how important they are. Children who do not sing such songs, are deprived very much. This is reflected later on both the character and the fate of the baby.

Beginning of education

Only a baby born does not understand the meaning of the words uttered by Mom. However, he perfectly senses the intonation, he hears the native voice, to which he is already so used, being in the womb. The leisurely pace and repetitive rhythm of the melody together with the affectionate hands of the mother have a lulling effect. Thanks to this, the son or daughter quietly falls asleep and sleeps soundly. And during sleep the child develops correctly, his health grows stronger. At the initial stage, you can sing the same melody several times. Or select your favorite lullabies. When a baby grows up - learns to speak, begins to recognize words - it is necessary to change the repertoire as often as possible. It will not only be interesting for him to listen and understand what lullabies are, but also to master and develop speech. Even in a dream, children learn at a subconscious level. And such songs play a big role in the upbringing of the morality of the baby. They contain a variety of valuable knowledge about the world around us. They carry in themselves a certain meaning and wisdom of generations. Intellect and child's thinking are also developing due to them.

Living History

How many years there are children's lullabies? Probably the same as humanity itself. For many centuries, mothers sing songs before their bedtime, in which the real magic lurks. Among the set of lullabies, each child has his own. After all, every mother sings it differently. In some songs the rhythm changes, and someone makes own motives. That's why the lullaby is born again and becomes unique. A baby can be laid not only by mom. A daddy, a grandmother, an older sister or someone else can sing a gentle and lyrical lullaby. The main thing is that the song should sound with love and soul.

A variety of genres of songs contains folklore. Lullabies belong to the most ancient works of oral creativity. People believed that the person is surrounded by invisible hostile beings. However, if a child sees in a dream something terrible and bad, then in reality it will not happen again. That's why in the lullaby you can find a "gray top" and other not very positive characters. Gradually these songs lost magic elements, acquiring the meaning of good wishes for the future. They are based on wise, kind and at the same time simple texts. They are filled with affectionate appeals to small beloved creatures and are called upon to give babies peace of mind and pass on the love of their parents.
