My Turn, Your Turn, the seventh CD from award winning singer-songwriter Cathy Bollinger, sparkles with thoroughly singable songs that gently address the needs of children who find social interaction confusing or challenging. Using descriptive, social story-like phrases to talk about concrete situations, My Turn, Your Turn sings children through the tricky territory of engaging others. Songs touch on empathy, asking for help, handling anger, and other daily social skills. With music that makes lessons fun to learn, Bollinger, a trained music therapist, breaks common, everyday interactions down into simpler and more understandable activities. Includes 14 tracks.
