  • Title: Music in the family: music making and music therapy with young children and their families.
    Author: Wetherick D.
    Journal: J Fam Health Care; 2009; 19(2):56-8. PubMed ID: 19517947.
    Abstract:
    Songs and singing games are a healthy part of young children's social, emotional and cognitive development. Such shared music making can facilitate and strengthen relationships between parents and children. Family health workers can encourage carers' informal uses of music with their children. In cases of developmental delay, disability, severe illness or family stress, music can continue to have a significant role in supporting children and parents. In some cases referral to specialist music therapy services may be appropriate for assessment and/or treatment.
