Back with a new CD, Rocketship Run, the kids' music superstar, 39, offers tips on getting your child in tune.
1 IT'S ALL ABOUT EXPRESSION
I wrote "We Are the Dinosaurs," and it gives kids a chance to express anger, just stomp around.
2 DANCE!
Get up and actually dance with your kid. Share the experience of music with them.
3 DON'T FORGET THE LYRICS
There's an imprint when you connect to the rhythm and the words.
4 MAKE UP SONGS
It can be about whatever you're doing. Lucy [her 3-year-old daughter] would lose things all the time and I would sing, "We're Going on a Hunt." So we put it on Rocketship Run.
5 MIX UP THE MUSIC
The broader the spectrum of music they listen to, the more they'll just love music.
