Bond Over Baby Shark with Your GrandKids For Lifelong Memories

Who hasn’t heard the catchy and viral baby shark playing somewhere with a kid glued to the screen? It has become such a sensation that you would come across it every once in a while. There are countless videos on the internet where grandparents can be seen bonding with their grandchildren by singing Baby Shark and kids love it. 

If you’re a grandparent who doesn’t get to enjoy baby shark with your grandkids often and feel that you will lose on the special relationship you have with your grandkids then we have something special for you. 

Gone are the days when you couldn’t read bedtime stories to your grandkids just because of the distance.

Kids feel loved and special when they receive unconditional love and affection from their grandkids, which becomes a core memory for them. Today, it has become a challenge to engage kids in healthy screen time. 

They are easily distracted but engaging stories still work like magic.

You have to become a kid with a kid to get their attention. 

In this article, we will share some tips so you can engage with your grandchildren virtually. 

How Stories Help Connect Virtually

If you ask an adult about their core memories with their grandparents, it would be about doing something or a story they read to them or how they made them feel loved through their actions and words. 

We all enjoy creating a world bigger than us as kids. We loved it when our grandparents and parents used to read stories to us and those stories had a special message. Stories are a way to teach children important and lifelong lessons about life. 

I don’t remember much of my childhood but I still remember the time an older cousin used to gather all the children at night and tell them a story about a dwarf and how he conquers every obstacle in his way. 

The world has changed but stories still have the magic to help us bond and create special memories. With viral songs like Baby Shark, it might seem like it has nothing to teach the kids but it surely has something because of which it is connecting with so many kids globally. 

Baby Shark is a great way for grandparents to engage with their kids and help them learn early language skills. It also helps children learn rhythm and repetition. 

You can even do virtual sessions with your grandkids where you can color Baby Shark coloring books together. You can knit the characters with your grandkids while helping them learn a valuable skill of crochet. There are tons of ideas that you can do virtually with your grandchildren to stay close to them. 

How Can GrandParents Make Baby Shark Interesting

You can sing along to your grandchildren the lyrics of Baby Shark and help them learn it. If your grandkid is fond of dancing, you can learn a few steps and make it your special routine with your grandkid using Zoog. 

You can give Baby Shark a backstory and even take the characters and create some adventures around it. You can help your grandkids learn something through these adventures. This will also improve their imagination and listening skills.Stories help us imagine and think of different ideas and absorb different perspectives from an early age. 

We understand that it’s difficult to keep the attention of the kids these days. If you live far away from your grandkid, it might become a struggle to engage him on a simple video call but technology has its perks. There are apps that you can use to record stories for your grandchildren using filters, different voices for different characters and so many other features that can help you make the story far more interesting than a simple video call.
 

Zoog helps you record, and use character filters, different voices, and video features to make it more interactive for the kids. Baby Shark is very famous on Zoog and thousands of grandparents use it to read stories and sing songs to their grandchildren and build their relationship regardless of the distance and distractions. 

Give Your Grandchildren a Safe Space

Technology has done wonders for us but it has also exposed our children to things that aren’t healthy and beneficial for them. With social media, children are constantly after attention and it affects their mental health. It is more important to engage children in physical and healthy emotional activities today than ever.

They should know what healthy love looks like and this can only be taught to them through actions and figures that are closest to them. After our parents, our grandparents are the people who can help us find our unique identity. They help us learn life, and relationships and most importantly help us learn who we are. 

You should share a very comforting relationship with your grandchildren so they can come to you with their problems. Children only hide stuff when they don’t find someone they can trust with the information. A consistent presence in their life and engaging in healthy activities can help create this safe space. 

Songs like Baby Shark might seem absurd to adults but they sound fun to children. We shouldn’t view them as silly because we shouldn’t be able to enjoy them with the kids. You should always tap into your childish side when you’re with your grandkids because they would love to see you enjoy something they enjoy. 

These activities don’t just help the children but they will also help you because as we grow older, we tend to feel lonely. It would become an activity that you can plan and look forward to. Won’t you enjoy a dance play date to Baby Shark song with your grandkid? I’m sure the child inside you will love it.

With Zoog, grandkids can react with different emojis to your recorded songs and can request more songs from you. It’s also convenient for you to record at your time and your grandkids can watch it on their own time and can let you know of their reaction through the app. 

Connection doesn’t have to be complex. You might feel virtual doesn’t work with your grandkids but if you try these tips and put in some effort, you will see a difference in your relationship with the kids.
