Music offers an experiential place where a child can go to in order to deal with expressions and hardships in life and make them easier to deal with. A lot of children can live a better life if music is introduced to them at early stages in their lives. We should try to give our children this opportunity as early and as best that we can.

When dealing with these types of patients only certain types of music should be admitted into the session. Music will be placed into certain categories of usefulness including leisure time, therapeutic sessions, and types of music that should omitted from clinical help sessions. Songs that employ lyrics advocating suicide, violence, or sexual content need to be explored. We have to analyze the message of the song. The patient's mind set and well-being should also remain a primary consideration.
