Reflective Parenting by Curious Neuron How music can lower stress and anxiety (for you and your child)
This episode will inspire you to see music as a powerful tool for connection, healing, and everyday parenting.
It’s an invitation to play, sing, and create moments of joy with your children while learning how music can also soothe anxiety, ease transitions, and strengthen emotional bonds.
And it’s a behind-the-scenes look at the real science of music therapy – far beyond entertainment and how it can transform lives across every age and stage.
Joining me is Tanya Lavoie, a certified music therapist who works in pediatric hospitals and specializes in using music to support regulation, pain management, and emotional expression. In this heartfelt and practical conversation, Tanya shares how her work combines neuroscience, creativity, and compassion to help children and families thrive.
You’ll learn:
- Why music therapy works, and the brain science behind it
- How to use music at home to motivate your child, calm meltdowns, and create playful routines
- Simple steps to build meaningful playlists for relaxation or focus
- The truth about common music therapy myths (including the “Mozart Effect”)
- How to find a qualified music therapist in your area
If you’re ready to bring more connection, calm, and joy into your home and discover the therapeutic power of music this conversation is your starting point.
