My almost 3 year old doesn’t seem to like music. He hates it when anyone sings and asks us to turn the radio off when music is on. The only song he seems to like is the big red bus and the wheels on the bus but I think it is because he loves vehicles. He never wants to dance either, even as a baby. I try taking him to rhyme time but he just wants to leave as soon as we get there.
This makes me quite sad as I love music and love having it on. I have tried to gently share my interest but he is not having it so I have stopped for now. I’ve tried everything from nursery rhymes, baby shark, classical, pop, Disney etc. I’m worried he’s going to be like my MIL who actively dislikes music.
He’s a normal active toddler in most other respects but he doesn’t seem to like group activities and follow instructions (eg no interest in toddler football). He just wants to do his own thing and play with trains/cars so that’s what we let him do but it would be good if we could find an activity he likes so he can burn some energy on the weekends!
Have your kids shown no interest in something when they were toddlers then grown to love it a few years later? Should I keep persevering until I find some music he likes?!
