We all know it's important to help kids talk about their feelings and that it's one way to prevent a lot of behaviors. But, there's one glaring problem with talking about feelings- kids don't usually have the words or the emotional intelligence to really express their feelings until they are well into their teens. 

 

Of course we still try, and we teach them the skills, but board-certified music therapist Jaycie Voorhees shows us another powerful way to help kids express their emotions without words.

 

Our brains are able to create and play music much sooner than they are able to verbally express feelings, so it's only natural that music can be a great tool for helping kids understand and express themselves freely. 

 

While you may or may not be thinking music therapy is for you, the underlying theme is that music can help us all in so many different ways.
