Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
I heard the cutest story about a child and lullabies the other day. Their mom had always sung “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” to them when it was time to go to sleep. At naptime or at bedtime this was the song of choice so the child began to associate “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” with going to sleep. Later, they suddenly began to cry at church one day when a teacher suggested they sing “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” because she thought it meant they’d have to go to sleep.
That’s a cute story and it truly illustrates the power of lullabies in a child’s life. THey really can be soothing, calming and a wonderful way to get your little ones to fall asleep. SInging lullabies seems to be part of tradition as well. A lullaby song gets passed down from one generation to the next and becomes “popular” amongst a particular family and known as the “lullaby” song.
