Reviews of Relax and De-stress

Alison Moore

I am a parent of a 9 year old with ASD and I am a senior social worker. Our lives were improved significantly, when I bought this CD for my son. He had nightmares and struggled to get off to sleep due to fear of being alone. Kain has asked for some tracks from to be put on his I phone shuffle to take on holiday!

I bought this CDs last saturday for my 10 year old boy. Well, he has been listening to them 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. Well done to you for turning an idea into something positive and that is postively making a difference and helping children in their everyday life.

I bought this CD for my 9 year old daughter when she became stressed due to school issues and it helped overcome her insomnia. She loved her soothing voice and story telling. Thank you so much.

I continue to be impressed with the products you provide. I have just ordered my sons 5th CD, as he listens to one every single night. The only problem is, if I lie on the bed with him, I dont make it past the 2nd track before I am sound asleep. In a world of speed, its a pleasure to take a foot off the pedal.

The products are spellbinding. My son has the two books, the star cards and now after my last order all the cds except princesses obviously. He loves them and so do i. What an amazing concept for children of this era to remain positive and calm throughout this hectic

This CD has been fantastic in aiding relaxation and sleep. We have a 10 year old son who struggles to get to sleep, sometimes it can be after midnight before he finally goes off. However, using this meditation aid has helped to distract the active thoughts that occur during insomnia. My 8 year old daughter who sleeps fine, finds the journey through nature an enjoyable and calming experience.

Miss Lyle

This is a relaxation skills CD aimed at children - it`s fantastic and I love to listen to it myself. My children listen to it at bedtime and it really works! I would thoroughly recommend it to everyone, not just children. Marneta is very skilled at what she does.

Melanie Barber Primary Strategy Consultant - Behaviour

I played the CD to our SEAL co-ordinators and they were very impressed. Several subsequently ordered their own copies as a result. One Year 6 teacher played the visualisations every day in the weeks and days running up to the SATs. The pupils were extremely positive and reported that they felt much calmer and ready to learn following listening sessions. It is difficult for teachers to find resources that actively assist children in changing the way they think - Relax Kids visualisations offer exactly that.

I think that your meditations material for children is really brilliant. I just purchased your CD for my son who is just coming up to his 11+ Exam. Despite working hard, he is clearly jittery about it, so I bought your CD to help relax him. Last night, having given it to him to listen to in bed, he came down to kiss his dad good-night and said that he was really quite sleepy and was only on Track 3 ! He certainly looked bleary eyed and he also seemed pretty calm this morning! Thank-you! I know from my own experience of this type of relax meditation tape that it can work wonders and I have great hopes that it will build his confidence and help him to chill out during his exam!

Beverly Cooke

I love relax kids, my daughter has a CD and it really helped her when she was having trouble sleeping

Lynda

I love and have used your products for years now with kids I work with and my niece and nephews. I am working with an eight year old boy with ASD and motor problems and these really help him be calm.

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).
