Reviews of Anxiety and Worry

Sue Atkins - Positive Parents

Anxiety, stress and worry is one of the biggest problems of the 21st century and can lead to depression, low self esteem as well as binge drinking and drug taking later in life. So this CD is a wonderful way to teach your children how to manage their stress and anxieties naturally through simple relaxation, visualisation and breathing techniques. I highly recommend you buy one NOW!

Sue Atkins - Positive Parents

Self esteem is a vital part of growing up to be a happy, confident , well balanced adult and this CD will help your child relax and feel good about themselves easily and effortlessly. I highly recommend it.

Margaret

Another fantastic relaxation CD aimed at children but useful for everyone. I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone. Especially useful when you come home after a busy day and lie awake worrying about everything!

Emily Cheaney

From the first night of using the CD one of my boys had the best day in school that he has ever achieved. His anxiety levels have dropped and he is generally much calmer. We have been using them for nearly two weeks now and I guarantee they are asleep by track 3/4. No promises it will last but so far so good.

Sarah Brackley

My son went to sleep within 10 minutes of me playing the CD to him. It was amazing!

I have recently purchased a Relax Kids CD and it has truly transformed bedtimes in our house so I would like to buy some for my friends. Many thanks you have a wonderful product

Colin

My little boy has a really bad needle phobia and unfortunately has quite a serious medical condition which means he unfortunately has to have injections regularly. Normally we would have a very traumatic time for Christopher when it came to having his cannula inserted but thanks to this wonderful CD he was almost oblivious and it was a painless and almost tranquil experience for him. I am hoping that this will be the start of a long relationship with these CD’s and I can think of many ways in which can use them in my line of work with troubled young children. I just wanted you to know how grateful I am that there is such a tool out there and I shall be telling everyone about them!

Charlie Schnaar

Two colleagues (a psychologist and a child and adolescent psychiatrist) recommended your site to me as I have a son who suffers from severe ADHD... I am glad that someone has finally come up with some ideas that could be of real use!!`

Sharon

My son has been listening to the CD everyday and I when I asked him what he thought about them, he said `mum, they are great, its so weird as when the lady said try not to move, he said I cant even move!` Last Sunday, he was feeling anxious as he was going somewhere new. He said that he just thought about the CD and he repeated the words in his head and his fears went away

Dr Julia Ronder MD Consultant Child and Adolescent Psyc

This series of CDs is a huge asset to the self-help world. Every family with concerns should try them. These products fill a void in the world of therapeutic tools and teach skills needed by every young person today. Highly recommended.

Alan Newman, Highly Specialist Systemic Psychotherapis

I strongly recommend these products for all young people struggling to sleep, stay cool , and concentrate. There is nothing else like them out there! A must for all families and schools willing to try something new.

We received the CD in mail last week and it is fabulous. My son, who is 12, gets anxious at night when he tries to quiet down to go to sleep. Instead of relaxing it is often the time when he thinks of everything from his day; what didn`t go right, what he may have forgotten, what worries him in the future etc The night we got the CD he played it at bedtime and it calmed him down and he drifted off to sleep. The second night, he asked his sister to listen to it with him before she went to bed because he thought it was so helpful. It is totally working for him. Over the weekend, our family started to get into a heated debate over dinner. He went up to his room, got the CD and asked us all to sit around the living room, listen to it and relax. We did and it was great. We picked the conversation back up with renewed peace of mind later on and resolved our issue. I am about to order another. I really do think the Relax Kids CDs are amazing!

My children now both sleep soundly, and tell me that they have wonderful dreams. I think it`s Marneta`s voice that reads the meditations on the CD - she has an incredibly calm and relaxing voice. I would thoroughly recommend any of the CDs - such a superb way of getting your kids off to sleep at night, AND giving them positive messages about themselves. My boys tell me they like them because "they make you really relaxed and have a good sleep" and "they make you have good dreams".

Penny Cooper

Excellent CD. Works brilliantly. Use it every night and have recommended it to others.

Tina Gibbons

I bought this for my 8 year old son who is going through a `worry` period. I loved the CD but after a few minutes listening together he said "I`m not listening to this rubbish anymore` and demanded that the Cd and player were removed from his room! He still has his worries although they are slowly becoming less intrusive in his thoughts. As a yoga teacher I have used some of your other products in the past and found them very useful -obviously just my son who isn`t a fan!

Children have improved sleep, improved attitude and reduced anxiety.

Sally

I just bought 2 CDs - you can thank the BBC for that as I had never heard of you before I saw you on the telly this week! Brilliant!

Leanne

Another big thank you for a fab product. 9 year old was upset and worrying last night about grandparents poorly dog. Put on the Relax - Worry CD and she was asleep in no time and was full of praise for it this morning. She particularly liked the balloon floating away with her worries attached and the picture that you create and step into :) Great Products!

Caroline

Victoria is now going to sleep within around 3 tracks (i.e. alomost 10 minutes) whereas previously she was pacing the floor for up to 2 hours!

Gretchen Pritts

Last year my son was 9 years old and having severe school anxiety. By listening to the anxiety CD, he learned to slow down, breathe, and clear his mind. He learned to relax. I must say without him learning these incredible skills, he would not be where he is today. He is more confident than ever and having the best year in school! I am so proud of him and know that these skills will carry him through his life!

Lo0uise

My daughter was experiencing extreme anxiety. She is loving her cd and she has her cd walkman playing every night now for the past few weeks :) We can see that her reaction to certain things that previously would have surfaced the anxieties has changed for the positive and she has let quite a few things slide off her to my amazement! :D

How to use this CD at home

Before School

This is often one of the most stressful times in the day. If you could introduce just 2 mins relaxation, it will help set your child on the right track, for a relaxed and positive day.

1 As your child is waking put on one track from the CD and allow them to have a few moments relaxation before they rise.

2 Find time to sit together as a family for 3 mins on the sofa and share a quick relaxation together. This will help your child feel safe and secure.

3 You may like to pick a Star Card or a Mood Card together and share a positive thought for the day. This would take less than a minute and is very unifying.

4 Children could listen to a CD on their headphones on the way to school in the car.

5 If your child appears to be particularly nervous or anxious, allow them to pick a Star Card to help give them courage and strength.

6 Practice breathing exercises together. Take in a deep breath into the tummy and breathe out slowly. This is a simple exercise and can be done on the way to school, in the car or walking.

After School

1 You might like to build a short relaxation session into the home routine after school. Include a snack and the promise of their favourite game or tv show and children are more likely to cooperate.

2 You could put on the Relax Kids DVD and allow children to watch a 3 mins meditation before or after their favourite TV show. Tell children it is only 3 mins so they know what to expect.

3 You could chat about the day over tea or dinner with the whole family. Discuss how the children (and parents) remembered their positive Star Card or kept their positive mood.

4 Practice a simple yoga stretch together to relieve the stress of the day.

5 Offer your child a massage or encourage siblings to massage each other shoulders.

6 3 mins relaxation before homework, will calm your child, bring clarity and concentration and set the mood for study.

At bedtime

1 Ask your child to lie on their back with their arms by their side and feet and ankles relaxed

2 Play the CD at a comfortable volume

3 Let your child know before playing the track that it is 3-4 mins so they know what to expect.

4 Gently resist the urge to be drawn into conversation while the track plays.

5 Be patient - there may be giggles and fidgets and talking. This is normal as it is a new experience. Continue to model

6 Let the tracks continue if you find that your child is comfortable and relaxed

7 When they are ready, they will naturally move to their favourite sleeping position and drift off to sleep

8 It is a good idea to start on a different track each night

Caution:If using headphones. Your child WILL fall asleep while listening. Remove headphones as soon as possible or remain close to supervise any cords.

How to use Relax Kids in school

You could try taking just 3-4 minutes out at the beginning of the day to start the day on a calm and peaceful note. You could try a short relaxation session during assemblies, as many of the meditations incorporate values such as showing respect and loving and caring for others. Listening to a Relax Kids meditation after play times or lunch times can really help calm children down. (In one school, the dinner ladies play the meditations to help keep the children quiet during dinner times!)

You may like to read a Relax Kids meditation story at the end of the day to mark the end of the day, so children go home calm and relaxed and happy. A quick relaxation session, can also be used at the end of one session, to mark the beginning of a new topic.

You might even like to have chill out sessions during lunch times. Children can pick a star card at the beginning of the day, to give them a positive thought and way of working for the day. You could use the star cards during circle time or conflict resolution.

You could set up a Chill out zone in the class room and children could go there when they need to calm down and think about their actions and take a mood card to help them change their mood.

Some teachers set up a rota and have a child of the day who picks a star card for the class and a relaxation for that day.

The child of the day also has a Relax Kids Star sticker to remind them they are the Star child for that day. (stickers are also available from the shop for only 99p for 35 stickers).
