Music is a part of every culture, and many caregivers instinctively include musical play in their interactions with children. But music does more than entertain – there’s evidence that it can help children learn and strengthen their developing emotional regulation skills.
In partnership with MacPhail Center for Music, the University of Minnesota’s Center for Early Education and Development (CEED) recently released a new tip sheet, entitled, The Benefits of Music Integration to Emotional Regulation Development in Young Children. The tip sheet explains how introducing music into early learning environments can support early brain development and help children develop social-emotional skills that are foundational for learning and academics. This printable resource suggests ways that early childhood educators can incorporate music into early learning environments.
