Teaching Children Joy: Body Part 10
Teach simple songs
Teach simple songs and offer the children praise for singing.
I thought using the video recorder would be fun so they could also watch themselves.
Always give total encouragement and praise. A negative word can ruin fragile physical confidence and delay or thwart the very physical joy you are trying to create and teach. If the result is good, praise the result: "You did skip!" "You sang that right on tune!" If the result is not good, praise the attempt, the effort: "What a good try! Before long you'll do it!" (Teaching children Joy pg. 63)
