At this age children will naturally attempt to sing songs they have heard in their environment, such as pop songs.
Let them perform if they want to, and try not to make comments if they are singing to themselves – just let them enjoy it!
It’s a good idea at this age to make a recording of their voice, because in a few years it will have changed dramatically.
