How can music help kids navigate tough times? Raymond Van Gobel, better known as Mr Rayz, has some answers. In this episode of 'Ruthless Compassion', Dr. Marcia Sirota chats with Mr Rayz, a children's entertainer and educator who's dedicated over 20 years to studying how music impacts child development and emotional intelligence. When COVID-19 turned the world upside down, Mr Rayz adapted his musical approach to bring relief, comfort, and resilience to stressed-out kids stuck at home.
