It is a balancing act between a child’s physical and functioning age.
Do you allow older neurodiverse children to listen to nursery rhymes or provide them with age appropriate music? What if they prefer nursery rhymes?
I found it is useful to allow children to listen to music that they like, as their functioning age often defines what they enjoy.
However, if you wanted to follow on from nursery rhymes here are some options that I have found work well:
The Wiggles
For younger kids, the time-tested attraction of The Wiggles happy and cheerful music is always a hit!
Mamma Mia Soundtrack
Something about the joy of this Swedish group, that brings a smile to everyone’s face!
Michael Jackson
The king of pop and his toe tapping music gets the groove going!
Shotgun
This is a one-hit wonder. But still a song that kids love to sing!
