A musical child


How much we love our beautiful Princesa. Her joyful character and her determination makes her a great asset to our family. She knows what she wants, and she is not afraid to take charge. As we saw her great leadership qualities we were seeking for ways to encourage her towards positive interactions with others as she lead them to a common goal.
At the same time Princesa is very musical. She loves to listen to music, sing, and dance. She is the unofficial manager of the Cd-player and the kids CDs. She falls asleep at night while listening to music. She does not like us to interrupt her singing while we ride the car. She loves to dance and keep rythym. And she memorizes all her songs. 
This created a great opportunity...Through music, we now teach her what we desire to see in her heart and behavior.
A friend introduced us to "Judi, the manners lady". We are now totally in love with manners, that is to say, GOOD MANNERS. The kiddos love to sing and sing the manners songs, and we love to see the results. 
Now Princesa is on a personal challenge to demonstrate the most amount of good manners possible through out the day. Remember, she is a leader.  :)
Do you have a favorite technique in teaching children good manners?
