As a routine, I always lit a candle to my late father's altar every day. Today, I suddenly remembered a particular praise of him to me. It was a child's song,"Come on Everybody." According to his story, when I was in Grade One, I kept on singing this song. In fact, I can't remember this particular situation and it was him kept on praising me. He sang the song with childish body language. During my teen years, I felt like being teased. Now, I realized that it was his unforgettable moment with his son. This moment is priceless and cannot be forgotten.
I had tried to search for it on Youtube and finally, I found it.
"When was the last time you receive a praise from your parents?"
"Can you still remember your favorite nursery's or child's song?"

It sounds like you are a "bibbo' kid at that time. I feel embarrassed that I was singing the song while dancing.lol As it was claimed by my late father. Perhaps he had seen my potential to be a singer.lol The mere fact, he can sing well and among the siblings, I had shown such innate talent in singing.

@hereandthere I do agree with you. Most toddlers have the same milestone.

I loved to sing when I was a child and I had many favorite songs. I remember a song about "The sleeping beauty" I don't know if there is an English version of that song.

@Shavkat Yes, the song I remember is in Danish. Some of the Danish songs are translations of English songs, but I think that some of them are unique and they only exist in Danish.

They were gone too long ago and I could not remember if they praised me as a child.

In fact, both of my parents do the same thing with me and the other siblings.

I remember my old young me, I used to climb on a tree and sing a song that really irritated my dad and neighbors, though I don't remember the song itself
