What's the potential of underprivileged children compared to children born to affluent families?

By the age of 4 children of professional families had heard 48 million words spoken to them and children of welfare families had heard only about 13 million words.

It's not only words, it's interactions and more. Is it possible to take a group of at risk babies and change their lives through a Kindermusik class that will coach the parents in how to talk and interact positively to their babies? I believe so.

Please vote for my grant idea to teach a Kindermusik class to the teen parents at the YWCA's MotherLove program. Go to this link and vote 10 x per 24 hours. There will be 5 grants awarded. I believe that by getting this class into action I will find other interested sponsors to make this project a permanent program.

I thank you......The babies thank you.

Free Music and Movement for Teen Parents and Their Babies

Help me win this grant! Please go to http://hive2.wizehive.com/voting/view/kindermusik/0/89919 and vote for my proposal 10 times every day till Feb 9th! Thank you friends!

I have been trying to find support for offering a class to teen parents for years! I know the parenting information AND the music will affect the young parents and of course music is magical for the babies...I believe I can help break the cycle they find themselves in.

Thank you for your support!
