To have fun is a child's right.
This slogan expresses a deep truth:
To ensure a healthy development, the child needs varied and engaging experiences. Music, storytelling and play are valuable activities, because they build deep and constructive ways of thinking in the child's brain. These abilities will benefit the child for the rest of his/her life. To have fun is a social experience, and it gives strength for future interaction with other people.
For healthy children, music is a basic factor in the preparation for a good life.
For traumatized children, music is an invaluable tool for building a bridge between thoughts and feelings torn apart, a bridge back to a mother's embrace, and a bridge to a better future.
