Sings louder than everyone else and is 1 beat behind?

That was my daughter. She's 33 now and still can't sing.

Sort of. The kid I have tries to read the stories along with me ... but ends up only repeating the last 2-3 words on each page, as I'm beginning the next one ...

No but I think that is so cute! I have a few that have no rhythm when they dance... But neither do I and I love dancing with them so it all blends in ha ha!

Sounds like my ds. He's almost 13 and still does it. Last year was the best tho when his voice was changing! I wish our school system would've had concerts in elementary like we use to. So would tape it to save for graduation.

That's so my 10 ys dd. She always sings and asks me how it sounds. Of course I always say she sounds fabulous!

Yes! She's gotten much better now that she's 4, but when she was 2, we would finish our song and she would finish the last few words after everyone was done.

I have that child. She LOVES to sing. She sings all day long. And she sings loudly. And horribly off tune. She makes up her own song or sort of sing songs she knows from movies or something. Most of the time its cute, but sometimes its so loud and sounds similar to a dying wildebeest that it can get on my nerves. Sometimes I think my ears will bleed. But it makes her happy and I admire her passion.

Yes. And usually singing the wrong words.

We are practicing our Thanksgiving song...i have one who I'm sure is singing a different song.

It's so funny someone brought this up. I have a 2.5 year old DCG, who watches a lot of repetition type tapes (baby einstein, etc) at home. And today she walked up to me, and a few inches from my face she kept repeating "I'm going to dance" pronounced with a beat/rhythm behind it. Literally 15 times. It was definitely repeated from some sort of CD. I think it might have been from "Yo Gabba Gabba" (my kids don't watch TV shows - but I think YGG has a song like that ?!?)

It was really sad to me, because that was the extent of it. There was no actual dancing. Just a few bounces, and repeating that phrase over and over. It was exactly the kind of surface repetition thing you don't want your child learning from.

I had a tv-head kid before. He used to watch unlimited Nick Jr....Bubble Guppies, Team Umi Zoomi, Dora on a constant loop.

He was literally in a cartoon all the time. If you asked him a question, he'd asnwer you as if you were one of the cartoon characters, when he played it was reenactments of what happened on the shows, at Circle Time all he wanted to talk about was the cartoons.

It was very sad. It was like his brain had been taken over by Nick Jr. I tried to curb it by having times (such as Circle Time) were he wasn't allowed to talk about cartoons, but he'd just cry and shut down.

He'd be 7 now...I always wondered how he turned out.

I had kids like that who watched power rangers and transformers all day (this was for part time kids). Parents loved the shows as well so that didn't help. One of my friends who is a uh brain freeze director at a daycare suggested metephorically leaving them in their cubby. I told parents this and they complies because I explained it was interfering with their learning: by just repeating what they saw they werent engaging their imagination which leads to understanding of concepts. It took a couple of weeks and lots of pouting but it worked!

As for the actual topic my 5 yo dd just started this! She realizes she can hear herself by singing that way. Yes it gets on my nerves.

I have that kid too. I do know if I should be happy or annoyed. Happy that she is listening for a change or annoyed she is being a tad disruptive. lol
