"Parents should speak to their babies using sing-song speech, like nursery rhymes, as soon as possible, say researchers. That’s because babies learn languages from rhythmic information, not phonetic information, in their first months."

Greetings from Miss Pam in Jamaica.. I'd say..

This baby podcast is simply the best tool to get parents singing and talking to their baby every single day.

Here's a seasonal Jamaican song for you:

Holiday a come me wan me lama!

Lama is an old Jamaican term that means "presents" as in gifts.

This song comes from slavery days and was sung at Christmas time when people would dress up as characters and parade on the streets.

They would sing this song as they asked onlookers sometimes for money to get themselves or their family, gifts for the holidays.

RESEARCH ON WHY NURSERY RHYMING AND SINGING IS SO IMPORTANT FROM BIRTH.
