My Tiny Victory this week: hearing my 6-year-old quietly singing a Liz Phair song to herself. Because, as Paul Underwood wrote, there are evidence-based reasons why kids can listen to “Baby Shark” on repeat, yet wince when you play something … good. Paul consulted experts to understand why this happens, and he asked musicians with kids (like singer-songwriter Sharon Van Etten and Corin Tucker of Sleater-Kinney) for tips to improve a child’s appreciation of said good music. My personal tip: Wait until they are distracted by crafting and put on your own music in the background. |

P.S. The song was “Strange Loop” from Exile in Guyville, and you can submit your Tiny Victory for a chance to be featured in an upcoming newsletter. |

For Kids, Marie Kondo’s Magic Falls Flat |
The KonMari method may not be the most effective way to teach children to clean up after themselves — and it could even spark an inferiority complex. |
| Parenting can be a grind. Let’s celebrate the tiny victories. |
| “I successfully steered my daughter away from drinking her bath water, which she was guzzling nonstop, by convincing her that her bath water was strictly for her rubber duckies and other animal bath toys to drink. Now she happily hydrates her duckies, whales, crabs and sharks while taking a bath (and saving me from nagging).” — Michelle Clark, San Jose, CA |
