What to expect!

Try the Hello Song with your child! This is the first song of the LaLaLittleKids method.

How to use it:

1. Sing and move together - follow the rhythm and actions. 

2. Practise a short conversation:

You: "Hello, how are you?"

Child: "I'm fine thank you."

3. Use a cuddly toy - toss it to each other while practising the conversation to make it playful and interactive.

4. Repeat daily (or as often as possible). Make it part of your everyday routine to strengthen connection and have fun together with your child.

Tip: use it during natural moments, like when you're getting ready for school, spending time at home, or anytime you want a quick and fun interaction with your child. If you're in the car, encourage your child to use their fingers for the "turn around" and "jump, jump" part of the song.
