Free Reassuring and Comforting Songs to Help Ease Kids' Anxiety

It’s an understatement to say that kids today are having to deal with a difficult world. They’re confronted with issues we didn’t even think of when I was a child. Even many preschools have to perform safety drills to prepare kids for the possibility of a shooter. And cyber bullying and other online dangers didn’t exist when I grew up.

Every parent and caregiver should learn how to actively listen to a child’s struggles … in effect, to be a therapist. I’ll cover some helpful techniques in other posts to help kids deal with anxiety, but today, I want to share some free reassuring and comforting music that can help children cope with anxiety a bit better.

Free Comforting and Reassuring Music to Help Ease Kids’ Anxiety

In general, I’m organizing these songs from music for young children to music for teens and even adults. At the end, I’ll have a section of specifically religious reassuring and comforting music.
