There are several children’s songs in Spanish that teach or reinforce the question word dónde (where). These songs also teach estar, the Spanish verb for “to be” that is used to express location.

¿Dónde están las llaves? (Where are the keys?) is a traditional song with several versions. It can be a game played by a group of children, a clapping game, or used for jump rope. It is a very fun song to sing – one that even my university students enjoy.

Kids can say the darndest things sometimes. Heck, it's become a lot more common with the evolution of TV, music, movies, and the internet becoming more a part of our daily everyday lives. In fact, it's become a lot easier for kids to pick up on cursing these days. Not saying every show you'll ever see on T.V. or music artist will curse, but it's becoming a lot more common as more shows, movies and artists try to push the envelope of the limits of free speech. However, there are ways in which to discourage your child to cursing.

Teaching responsibility can be started early; and the best place to start is at home. Parents must create opportunities for children to work, make decisions, and benefit from their own actions, or suffer (but not too much) from their own failures.
