    Thank you yet again for a thoughtful reply encouraging me as a parent.

    Wonderful to hear about the constructive and positive influence of music with your kids. I hope I will be able to provide at least a part of such an environment to my child. :relaxed:

    For our toddler (2yrs+), his exposure to music is currently through all the family members singing to him children's songs and poems. We don't use the phone to entertain him as yet - (with the exception of video calls with grandparents) - so I haven't exposed him to "real music" much. Despite this he is always singing some new tunes to himself and putting imaginary words in to a song. :-D But your post has got me thinking - maybe I should consider buying a CD player (owned one many years ago) and begin our family's path to listening to music together? We tried Alexa (to only focus on audio without video) but the collection of Indian music in it is very limited.

    I've been avoiding the phone or laptop because I think the stimulation from videos is not needed for a young child yet - I've seen too many cases of young toddlers in my friends and family circle gradually losing interest in traditional things (puzzles, books, coloring) once they get hooked to high stimulation levels of video.

    Thank you for getting me to think more about this. (sorry to derail the purpose of this thread but I really wanted to express my thanks)
