FAMILY WORK

Music Therapy can support and improve parent-child relations. Through musical play positive experiences can be created allowing both parent and child to interact in new and engaging ways, leading to strengthened relationships.

The Music Therapist works with the family to promote:

positive attachments
harmonious communication skills
innovative and adaptive ways of enhancing parent-child connections
extended social play skills

By providing innovative opportunities for bonding and developing attachment between children and their caregivers, Music Therapy can offer a safe, secure and resourceful environment in which relationships can be developed, improved and explored.

The non-verbal nature of music therapy provides a platform for parents and carers to interact with their child(ren) without recourse to words. This lends power to the therapeutic process and means that the intervention is accessible to families experiencing all and any difficulties, including those experiencing bereavement issues; the impact of a difficult diagnosis; stress and anxiety; the effects of disability.

Drumming for Development training can take place on school INSET days, corporate training days or during twilight training sessions.

If you are interested in further information on how Music Therapy may support parent-child interactions, please feel free to contact us here.

"As an MTW approved supervisor, I have witnessed MTW MTs encouraging, reflecting and reaching deeply held feelings that may not have otherwise ever have been expressed or heard. They then use these observations and information to determine the best way forward for a successful therapeutic process."

“Music allows us to meet clients at these moments where there are no words. It provides a language which the music therapist uses to allow each individual to process and move through even the most unbearable experiences.”
