Music is a good influence on kids

By June Beezy


Should we keep our kids away from music or is music something that is good for everybody? This age old question is one of those questions that only the kids can answer, but as adults, we kind of have an idea. Even the ancient gurus such as Plato and other Greek writers suggested that music is something that is part of the human soul. Plus studies have shown that the right type of music can increase concentration.

Music and kids is something this simply a thing of beauty. It is as kids that we start to learn or like things and develop that part of ourselves that we are eventually going to be really good at. So it is essential that you do not intervene when all of this is happening. Even if you don't like the music, just let them do their thing and go from their.

Believe it or not, kids get into listening to music from the womb. They can hear and process certain things at that stage and music is one of them. Than as their brains develop, the get more into music and it teaches them how to reach different levels of their emotions. Music is an amazing thing and if you think kids don't understand it, you are wrong.

Same thing with music or anything else for that matter. If you play rap music, the kid is going to pick up more on rap music. Although later in life the kid when he or she is no longer a kid can make a decision on it's own but initially it's you who controls what your kid is listening to. Use proper discretion when it comes to controlling what kind of music your kid wants to listen to or not. The best discretion is just let your kid be and let them explore for themselves.

Some people think that playing classical music or putting your child in piano classes is good for them, but it all depends on the kid. If they don't like it, they don't like it. Don't force your dreams on your kids even if it's music related. Each of us have a gift or two that we are naturally good at. However, if you do notice some serious music talent or if your kid loves music, than please encourage it to the fullest.
