A Systematic Review of Music Interventions to Support Parent-Child Attachment.

Secure attachment in early childhood is important for wellbeing throughout life. Music interventions show promise for supporting early parent-child relationships; however, their effects on attachment security are unclear as few music intervention evaluations have measured attachment outcomes. This systematic literature review aimed to synthesize published empirical literature examining the effects of music interventions on relationship quality between typically developing children aged birth to 5 years old and their parents.
