Ji-Young’s New Song   

We know that young children are curious about the differences they notice between themselves and those around them. We all want to have a sense of belonging, and little ones benefit in many ways when they can feel positive about themselves in their friendships. 

In this song, Ji-Young plays guitar, with Tamir on drums, Elmo on piano, and Abby on the kazoo! Each instrument makes its own sound, and together they create something new and beautiful. 

Watch together with children. You might also: 

• Sing along to Ji-Young’s song about making friends. 

• Notice together that Ji-Young sings about being proud: “No one else has got my style! No one else has got my heart! No one else has got my smile!” Talk about what pride is: it is a wonderful feeling. It’s when we feel really good about who we are or about something we did. We can feel proud about what someone else did, too. What do you feel proud about? 

• The friends sing, “La la la la, la la la la, Ji-Young’s song.” Try singing it with your child’s name, or the names of others!
