The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does participation in a music enrichment program improve the quality of parent-child interactions? 2. Does participation in a music enrichment program reduce motivation for food 3. Does participation in a music enrichment program improve the quality of the language environment? Participants will: 1. Be randomly assigned to participate in either 2, 8-week semesters of weekly music enrichment classes or play group sessions. 2. At the beginning, after the first 8 weeks and after the second 8 weeks, a researcher will come to the participants house and parent-child pairs will: 1. be video recorded during 10 minutes of playtime and meal time. 2. fill out questionnaires 3. wear a small wearable language recorder for 16 hours 3. At the beginning, after the first 8 weeks and after the second 8 weeks, the parent and child will come to the baby lab and will: 1.
