278. Music, mindfulness, and play: Using play to strengthen your child's secure attachment bond with Vered Benhorin


Listen Later

Music therapist Vered Benhorin is teaching parents how they can use play and music as powerful tools to strengthen connection, foster attachment, and make parenting feel a little easier.

 

In this episode, we explore:

 

- Why play is so important for emotional regulation, attachment, and connection—and how parents who don’t naturally enjoy play can redefine what it looks like.

 

- What are “Bubble Moments,” and how can parents tap into these times throughout the day to deepen their relationship with their child?

 

- How music impacts the brain, reinforcing neural networks that support routines, emotional regulation, and even executive functioning skills.

 

- The science behind a “sing-song” voice and why it feels so regulating for both you and your child.

 

- How to expand your definition of play to find activities that feel fun and authentic for you as a parent.

 

Whether you’re looking to strengthen your bond with your child, better understand attachment theory, or discover simple ways to use music and play to make parenting more joyful, this episode is packed with insights and practical advice you won’t want to miss!
