"“Creative Sound Play is one of the most thoughtful and direct approaches of which I am aware to help children build self-regulation skills through fun, creative, and engaging activities. The fact that it manages to encapsulate so much within a set of readily implementable, fun and engaging activities for children is nothing short of amazing.” – Clancy Blair, Professor, Department of Applied Psychology, Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development, New York University ""One of the things I love about Creative Sound Play is that it uses something as simple as sound, which is ever present and doesn’t need anything expensive to do. Creative Sound Play helps to support so many of the things that are critical for the best executive functions because it creates joy, helps to reduce stress, and builds community."" – Adele Diamond, PhD, FRSC, Canada Research Chair Professor of Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, Head of Program in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, University of British Columbia, Vancouver ""Imagine that as a teacher you have the opportunity to bring a well-known, experienced and exuberant musician to your class. Now imagine that this musician has spent decades creating no-cost, easy-to-do sound activities that help you and your children manage everyday classroom transitions. Finally, imagine that these activities promote the most important life and learning skills there are—executive function skills. That’s what you get with Hayes Greenfield’s Creative Sound Play. It's truly magic!” – Ellen Galinsky, President of Families and Work Institute and Author of Mind in the Making and The Breakthrough Years “This supercalifragilisticexpialidocious book demonstrates the power of sound for growing 21st Century skills. Greenfield shows us the joy of using sound exercises — loud and soft, short and long, to build self control, communication and collaboration in school and beyond. So listen up and see for yourself why 'Lend me your Ears' offers teachers and parents new and powerful tools to help all kids thrive. What fun!” – Kathy Hirsh-Pasek, Professor, Temple University, Senior fellow, Brookings “Creative Sound Play is one of the most thoughtful and direct approaches of which I am aware to help children build self-regulation skills through fun, creative, and engaging activities.
