With words, poets create new worlds, worlds filled with auditory and visual images offered by them to awake in us our sensibility and the tenderest feelings. A mother who has seen her child for the very first time can be deeply moved by her feelings as a mother, when she observes that little creature that is going to fill her days with happiness and joy.

Baby Poems Sometimes words are not enough to express those feelings, the mother would like to let her little baby to know how much she loves him or her, but maybe a poem can help to express those emotions said with the tenderness and sweetness that only the voice of a mother can have. Writing a poem is not as difficult as it may seem, it does not require experience or of an innate power.  A mother or a father who really is inspired by the feelings toward their children, only have to hear what their heart has to say, do not forget that everything that comes from a soul full of love can become the most beautiful and inspiring creation.

All you need to write the perfect poem for your baby is listed below:

  • A piece of paper
  • Pencil
  • A lot of patience (to wait for the perfect moment of inspiration)
  • Think about your feelings for your child, the love you feel for that little creature, the happy moments your baby has given you, and how special he or she is
  • Also you will be needing simple words, those that come out from the deepest part of the soul without any problem
  • Books, songs, diaries, anything that can give you a point to start, will be useful to begin your own poetry

Writing a perfect poem for your baby

  • Somehow, there is a special moment that touches your heart like the first word of your baby (especially if that word is mom or dad) or the first time you see your baby finally walking toward you, those precious moments are the ones that should be remembered, if you have a camera that is great, but the advantage of the poem over the photograph and the video, is that your baby, years later will know exactly how happy you felt at that time and, only a poem can really immortalize the emotions a person feels once in a lifetime.
  • As soon as you can go get your pen and a piece of paper so you won’t miss the inspiration and the feeling.
  • Open your heart and your soul, feelings shouldn’t be pushed, you must let them flow, if it necessary find a place where you can feel comfortable with your emotions to start writing the poem, just let your soul speak, and then write it down.
  • Use simple words and the associations that come to your mind at that time, do not pay too much attention to finding the perfect rhyme, meanwhile the moment can pass and you will be unable to remember that feeling with the same clarity, just place the most pure feelings you are having and after you finish you can proceed to reorder your ideas, look for the rhymes, replace some words, but the essence of your feelings will be already there.

Benefits of sharing a poem with your baby

Read texts for your baby is a great way to help the baby increase vocabulary, you can rely on stories, poems, legends or any other material deemed appropriate to the age of your baby.

Poetry is an excellent choice because it presents several advantages:

  • Use of language more freely, which is closer to the way that small building concepts.
  • Greater linguistic plasticity, ie how to use language with greater force refers to specific references as objects, sensations or feelings.
  • The regularity of rhyme makes the poem attracts the attention of babies and toddlers because it is a rare phenomenon in everyday language. In addition, the same effect helps to facilitate their memorization.
  • It is the perfect format for word games.

However, to really benefit our children you must take into account:

  • The timing of the reading should be presented as something special, never let it become another activity, but find it one of the most sought after by children.
  • Choose appropriate poems for the child's age. If the book has illustrations, should be colorful and appealing, but attached as possible to reality. If you have only text, you can be more attractive to children if they draw pictures relating to the poem or if it represents the action the poem describes (the latter love it, you'll soon see your baby trying to act the poem just as you do).
  • The ideal time is when your child is relaxed and can pay attention, otherwise easily be distracted and reading will become more of a hindrance than a point of interest.
  • You should also ensure that conditions are suitable for reading. If there are distractions such as noises, loud music or background music, a TV on or something similar, the baby will be distracted and give little importance to the activity.
  • Sessions should be short. You can even apply the first theatrical "leave them wanting more." The sessions will only achieve long your baby gets bored and associate that feeling with the activity of reading.
  • Reading should be clear and fluid, that is, you correctly pronounce and carry an appropriate reading rate to keep the attention of your baby. Of course, the intonation is very important, and it is your main tool to cater to what you read.
  • Finally, it is very important that your child is involved in the activity. If you only receive information passively, will lose interest with each reading session, but if you have any kind of interaction (like saying the rhyming word or act out the action of the poem), then your interest will remain and even increase.
