It also introduces proper grammar, builds vocabulary, and promotes your child's understanding of the meaning of words. Listening to and singing along with Willinda strengthens inherent developmental skills and is a very simple way to help minimize the possibility of language and reading delays. Your infant knows the rhythm, pitch, and melody of your voice before birth. At birth, he can discriminate speech sounds among the world's languages. By 6 months he's learning the key vowel sounds. By 9 months, he's onto consonants, sound sequences, and beginning to comprehend first words. And by 12 months, he's becoming familiar with word order and basic patterns of grammar. With Willinda, you are strengthening the brain connections that your child uses to achieve these milestones. The latest research on child development is definitive about the connection between language and music. The brain absorbs language on both the left and right sides, and the musical aspects of language impact a child's brain functions first through rhythm and cadence.
