Conscious listening

"They deserve to sing lyrics
that resonate with them,

or of their ability to overcome their struggles,

or of the joy of learning something new."

Some of our family's favourite children's cd's are:





Okay, so the monkeys may not be very Montessori nor Waldorf but they're lots of healthy fun & everyone needs to drum sometimes (even monkeys! ;)
