Most people have favorite songs from childhood that can evoke happy memories of distant friends and more carefree days. Usually, these are catchy tunes that can linger all day. In fact, everyone has probably repeated a familiar song for hours after hearing it only once. It is likely that Row Row Your Boat is one of those songs for a lot of people.

Row Row Your Boat is most often sung as a round, which means two or more singers begin the song at different stages and sing at the same time. Usually, one singer begins and after completing the initial phrase Row Row Your Boat… another singer joins in. This results in the first person singing “…gently down the stream…” while the second person sings Row Row Your Boat… Regardless of the number of participants, it repeats until each singer has completed the Row Row Your Boat song a certain number of times.

It can be a chaotic and uproariously fun activity. It can also be an uplifting one with purpose. That is because the creative members of ThumbPeople Inc. have taken the wonderful Row Row Your Boat song and infused meaning into it through relatable lyrics. Now it is more than a silly activity or a catchy tune. It is a teaching opportunity using nurturing music for children. For example, instead of singing about rowing a boat, kids can sing about brushing their teeth or saying their prayers. The idea is to use a familiar tune to impart an important message.

Not many messages are more important than the love, mercy, and purpose that God has for each individual child. ThumbPeople Inc. is dedicated to helping children understand how special they are to God. That can begin by encouraging them with the positive lyrics of nurturing music for children.

For children, uplifting language can be a vital element of assuring them of God’s love. Whether it is through the encouragement to brush their teeth and say their prayers or simply a reminder to have fun, children will recognize that they matter when they hear ThumbPeople’s nurturing music for children.
