A very young cowboy learned a new word today..’motherese’.
It is used in the enlightening book entitled Your Playlist Can Change Your Life. The book posits that music not only profoundly influences young children but people of any age.
Back to motherese…it means ‘the singsong ways parents speak to their children before and after birth.’
‘It plays a significant role in instilling feelings of calm, safety, and love. When you imagine a mother cradling her baby in her arms, speaking gently and sweetly, the two are psychologically and physiologically wrapped in a feeling that zooms through time and space, from mother to child, a feeling that has endured for millennia.’
