Musical stimulation helps lay the foundations for a lifetime of skills, and this straightforward guide gives detailed advice on how to use music to help children from 0-5 years with common developmental challenges such as attachment and bonding, bedtime, tantrums and daily living skills, social skills, motor skills and school readiness.

This book, like its author, embodies the meaning of integrity! It combines theory and solid research to guide us through fun, easy to use activities that help us all parent the whole child. Jeffrey shows how music can be a foundation for bonding. From this base, he provides ways in which music can build self-regulation, attention, frustration and anxiety management, good sleep patterns, friendships, academic readiness, physical fitness, and an appreciation for all cultures. Unlike other parenting books, this not only works, but will bring joy to your homes!
I've known Jeffrey for almost 20 years. He is a thoughtful, talented, knowledgeable and caring musician, therapist and parent. His book is a beautiful guide for parents and teachers on how to share music with kids, even if you think you can't carry a tune.
Jeffrey Friedberg knows music. Coupling his deep knowledge of child development and successful experience entertaining young people, he is keenly aware of music's spectacular impact on young children. Here he gives us all a detailed, yet personal way to put them rightly on the exquisite path of music.
