What Do You Get Out Of Class?                                              August 18, 2015
Good morning,  

As caregivers, we don't think about our needs first. We put others before us because that is what we know. This topic has come up a lot in my work lately, and applies to all caregivers.  

Self care and awareness is just as important as the care you give others. If you are not healthy, rested, and emotionally stable, then it is hard to properly care for others. Have you ever felt overworked or overtired and taken it out on someone else? Maybe you were a little less patient with your 3 year old because you just didn't get enough sleep. That happens! It is important to find things that you enjoy, things that help the stress and the worry fall aside so you can feel recharged. I feel recharged when I go for a walk and spend some time outdoors. What helps you recharge?

Sprouting Melodies is also a time where you can focus on not just your child's enjoyment, but yours as well. This week, put the phones away, forget about the grocery shopping list until after class, and challenge yourself to have as much fun as you expect your little one to be having! This class is all about strengthening bonds, supporting healthy development, and exploring. You are an important part in that process. You get just as much out of a Sprouting Melodies class as your child does. It is a designated time that you share special moments with your little one. It is an opportunity to really play with them, learn with them, and develop experiences with shared and lasting meaning. The music you learn in class will be a comfort to your children as it becomes familiar. Use it when you have those moments of impatience, it just might help your child transition more successfully. 

What do you get out of Sprouting Melodies? We'd love to hear your perspective. Check out our testimonials page on the Sprouting Melodies website. Do you have a meaningful experience to share? Let us know!

 I'll see you in class!
