Down

Grow up
As the child gradually grows up and is able to grasp some words, it is normal that he would sometimes cry just to attract people's attention. Parents had to find a way to cope with this; usually they soothed the cry-baby by singing them nursery rhymes, which he would find entrancing. Some of this songs are encouraging, that is, when the child learnt how to stand up or began to toddle, parents would sing these songs to him, and he would be encouraged. The others are about nature; they teach the child about the surroundings.
