281 Could a Song Calm Your Child Like a Pacifier? The Surprising Power of Music & Emotional Regulation with Vered

Hey Friends~

Have you ever thought about what your baby is actually experiencing when you sing to them?

Because it turns out, your baby doesn’t care whether you think you can sing. Your baby wants to hear you sing. And those little moments of singing, playing, smiling, and simply enjoying each other can do far more than fill the time. They can help build secure connection, support emotional regulation, and even lay foundations for language.

Today’s guest, musician, music therapist, and psychotherapist: Vered, calls some of these experiences “Bubble Moments”: those beautiful moments when you and your child are genuinely happy together. And what I love is that she says we don’t have to just wait for those moments to happen. We can actually create them, especially in the ordinary, repeatable moments of our day. And then Vered said something that absolutely fascinated me: a song can become an emotional transitional object for a child, much like a favorite blanket or pacifier, because the music itself holds feeling.

Today, we’re talking about music, play, connection, regulation, sound and silence, and the surprising ways all of it can support your child’s communication and language.

And yes, even if you’re convinced you cannot sing, this episode is for you!

Always cheering you on!

ABOUT THE GUEST: Vered Benhorin, LCAT, is a music therapist, psychotherapist, parenting author, recording artist, mother of three, and family connection expert whose work brings together attachment theory, music, mindfulness, and play. Her approach began with her own experience as a new mother, when she discovered how singing, movement, and playful interaction deepened the connection she felt with her infant son, Peleg. That experience grew into Baby in Tune, through which she has helped thousands of parents build stronger relationships with their babies, as well as her book, What Do I Do With My Baby All Day?!: Simple Ways to Have the Best First Year Together. Her award-winning music has received Parents’ Choice and NAPPA Gold Awards, and her newest album, Adorable You, brings her story full circle: nearly two decades after inspiring her work, Peleg helped write and produce the album and added his own vocals and harmonies.
