Guilt by Association
Just suppose that Pavlov had access to an MP3 player…
We wrote previously that parents have great power when it comes to teaching things to their kids: we mostly try to use this for good, but every so often, an opportunity presents itself that is too good to pass up (and we try not to feel too guilty about it).
For two or three weeks, SFDad has been playing a song on his phone whenever SFBaby engages in a certain type of activity at the playground. We figured that she would probably associate the song with the activity, so this was our first test to see what would happen if we played the song when she was just standing around doing nothing…

EEEK! There will be trouble ahead when she’s at an age when she has to sit quietly in a concert and she hears one of those songs…..
Probably good if you hold off on Ravel’s Bolero for awhile…
Hey, Bolero is repetitive enough that I bet we could have her trained after playing it only once!
