An anthem to support childcare that I want to dedicate to moms and dads. Inspiring classics and popular songs that keep you going.
Introducing uplifting songs we want tired moms and dads to hear!
Kids can be demanding, they don’t listen… Parenting can make you frustrated, and sometimes it brings you to tears.
Caring for a newborn or a toddler in the “no” phase can especially make you feel like, “I’m the one who wants to cry.”
When your emotions are unsteady, you might find your tone getting harsh or that you scold too much—and then blame yourself afterward, don’t you?
In those moments, try leaning on the power of music to take a little breather.
Remember the moment your child was born: “Thank you for coming into this world.” “No matter what happens, I’ll protect you.” Those feelings will come back to you.
Try listening together with your child.

May it be filled with kindnessJUJU
It’s one of JUJU’s signature songs, loved for her slightly husky, deeply expressive voice.
A beautiful track with the feel of a supreme ballad, it’s widely cherished as a love song.
But if you look at the lyrics, you can also interpret it as a message about the bond between parent and child.
The wish that “kindness will gather all around my most beloved child” is something any parent can surely relate to.
It was also used as the CM song for Kirin Gogo no Kocha’s ad “The Warmest Winter in the World: Parent-Child Bond,” and it’s a song I especially want moms and dads to hear.
Because your eyes are smilingImai Miki
The beautiful song “Hitomi ga Hohoemu Kara” by Miki Imai, with her clear, lovely voice, is one I hope you’ll listen to when you’re working hard at parenting or feeling worn out by childcare.
I think the lyrics let you once again feel that “tiny life” from when your child was born.
So even if you’re exhausted by a child who’s being demanding, the song seeps into your heart and soul with a feeling of “Thank you for being born and coming to me,” and it makes you want to hold your child tight.
It’s a highly recommended song.
