This week, Millennial parents are getting judged for not knowing the words to classic nursery rhymes. (Scandalous!) According to a recent survey of parents 26-41-years-old in the U.K. (commissioned by baby product manufacturer MAM), only 53% of them know the words to “Baa Baa Blacksheep,” and only 51% know the words to “Row Row Row Your Boat.” Even more “shockingly,” the majority can’t sing “Rock-a-Bye Baby.” (In fairness, we have CocoMelon to sing nursery rhymes to our kids instead!) But those horrified to think that a new generation is growing up without their parents crooning these old school tunes should know that 83% of Millennial parents do still believe that singing to their kids is an important part of bedtime and bonding, they just might be singing some non-traditional songs (one respondent mentioned Kanye). On top of this, 90% report that they read to their kids before bed, with The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The Gruffalo, and We’re Going on a Bear Hunt popular picks. (Study Finds, Express)
