Music has a positive (积极的) effect on young children’s development! New research shows that music has a good influence on young children’s cognitive (认知的) skills, such as spatial reasoning (空间推理) and memory. Research also shows that offering children an interesting environment can support children’s healthy growth and development.

The activities can make children feel relaxed.
