Features: "In this creative and inspiring book, psychologist, musician, and author John M. Ottiz blends music, sound, and psychology, gifting parents with numerous opportunities to strengthen their connection with their children and introduce them to the lifelong joy of music." Dr. Ottiz says, "We have just begun to touch the power hidden behind the element of sound in this house." In his new book, Give Your Child Wings with Music—Cultivating Your Child Through Music, Dr. Ottiz guides readers to discover the power of music through their children and alongside them. This book is written for parents who have a positive interest in their children's lives (even if they do not intend to raise their children as musical prodigies). It provides a wealth of creative methods through which families can create, enhance, and maintain a joyful, relaxing, and fun home environment. Give Your Child Wings with Music—Cultivating Your Child Through Music showcases various easy-to-implement exercises and playful activities that bring music and sound into parenting styles and family life. The book provides examples of "music menus" and "music days" that can be used for children before birth, after birth, during preschool, and during school years. Dr. Ottiz explains how introducing music and sound into daily life can help maintain a "rhythm" in the family and foster household harmony.
