​Songs and rhymes for young children have been passed down for generations. Such nursery rhymes and songs are a fun way to teach children to talk and to get ready to read. Sharing rhymes and finger plays also provide a nurturing experience between caregiver and child. But did you know that a nationally recognized program on teaching songs, rhymes and storytelling to families is one of the many programs offered to parents through Talk With Me- Anglophone East?

The Parent-Child Mother Goose Program® helps parents and caregivers gain skills and confidence which enable them to create new and positive family patterns during their children’s crucial early years. The group experience for parents and their babies and young children focuses on the power of using rhymes, songs and stories to enrich language and communication skills. Nursery rhymes and songs can be used anywhere at any time.  As such, they are one of our most transportable forms of play.

Parents and children gather weekly for an informal hour of learning rhymes, songs and finger plays. Focusing on the oral tradition, storytelling is also a prominent feature of the program.  Parents and children are told a story during each session – giving them the pleasure of listening and learning through an enriched language experience. Depending upon the story and the ages of the children, participants can join in with repetitive lines or gestures. In addition, parents and children can participate in the re-telling of a story as a means of practicing storytelling with the group.

The Parent-Child Mother Goose Program® has been provided in several communities over the past years with overwhelmingly enthusiastic participation. The program will be held Monday mornings starting in January 2018 at Forest Dale Home, Riverside-Albert. For more information or to register, please call 856-3617 or email TalkWithMeMoncton@nbed.nb.ca.
