Songs and Musical Mantras
for Successful Parenting
Â
Words & Melodies by Charlie Appelstein, MSW
Â
This novel approach to parent education combines rhythm, rhyme,
wordplay, and engaging melodies to promote core child-rearing practices. A
handy companion for all seasons of family life.
Â
Â
More than 25 singers and musicians were used to create Parent Rapsody, including: gospel singers from Boston’s Berklee School of Music; the choir from Temple Shalom in Newton, MA; an award winning trumpet player from Boston College; an internationally renowned vocalist from Virginia, and various members of the popular band, The Adam Ezra Group.
Â
Â
This approach to parent education is based on the science of neurology:
Â
“The brain is designed to change in response to patterned, repetitive stimulation.â€
Â
By using engaging melodies and mantras (raps), we hope to make the important Â
principles and techniques presented in this CD more accessible to parents.

Terrific Job! I especially liked Julie’s version of Routines, too, and all the positive ways that one can approach kids as well as grown ups. I think this cd will be a big help to families.
