Which Relax Kids CD is for you?
Here is a simple list of common problems and the most suitable Relax Kids CD that might work for your child.
SLEEPING PROBLEMS
My 3 year old can’t settle at night. Can you suggest a suitable CD? I am at the end of my tether as I have tried everything to help him sleep.
The Quiet Spaces CD includes simpl relaxation exercises that are short and easy to listen to. Many parents put the CD on a loop so children listen to it throughout the night.
Nightmare
I have a 5 year old who has regular nightmares. Can you suggest a CD to help him relax at night as he doesn’t want to sleep.
There is probably an underlying cause for your child not wanting to sleep at night. Keep a regular routine with lots of reassurance and cuddles and try Princesses or Superheroes
Bed wetting
I have a 7 year old who wets the bed almost every night. I am recently divorced and would like something to help him feel more secure.
It is probable that your child is suffering from anxiety. We would suggest that you seek medical advice but you may like to try our Anxiety and Worry CD that has been designed to reduce anxiety through deep physical relaxation exercises, breathing and visualisations.
ANGER MANAGEMENT
I have a 6 year old that has tantrums. I have never tried relaxation and am not sure if it would work. Anger Management is a CD that has been created to help children learn tools to cope with their anger. The CD includes calming breathing exercises, positive affirmations and visualisations.
Bully
I think my son is a bully at school. I feel so bad as I have brought him up well. He has anger bursts and I think he is taking this out on people at school. Can you help?
It is important that you talk to the school and make sure your son knows the behaviour is unacceptable.
Anger Management CD may help him address some of the inner frustrations he may have.
ANXIETY AND WORRY
I have a 6 year old that worries about everything. She worries about school and not being there on time, worries about her health, worries about the family. I have done everything I can to try and reassure her but the worrying seems to be getting worse.
Anxiety and Worry is a CD that helps children cope with worries by using deep physical relaxation activities, breathing exercises and visualisations.
Anxiety
My teen needs to relax. She is constantly anxious about exams and is under a great amount of stress.
Many teens experience a great amount of stress during exam time. If she can make some time to relax, she should notice a huge improvement in her stress levels. Relax and Destress is a great way to help teens relax.
Nail biting
My little girl bites her nails. I don’t know what is causing her to be stressed, but would like some help.
Children often bite nails to relieve stress or out of boredom. If you suspect she may be stressed or worried, you might like to try relaxing together and listening to the Princess CD. If she is older, I would suggest the Nature CD as a good way to relax.
CONCENTRATION
My son finds it difficult to concentrate at school. He doesn’t listen to the teacher and drifts off. Can you suggest something?
The Concentration CD has been designed to show children simple exercises to help them focus. Each exercise lasts around 4 mins so it is a great way to encourage concentration.
ADHD
Can you suggest a CD to help my son who has ADHD? I would like to introduce him to relaxation as Im sure it would help.
It maybe that your son finds it hard to relax to start with. Start with short sessions and build them up slowly. Concentration CD, Quiet Spaces CD and Nature CD are all useful for children with ADHD
HEALTH AND HAPPINESS
Behavioural problems
My son is 11 and has behavioural problems. He can get extremely angry and argumentative. Can you help?
Anger Management CD helps children spend some time alone while learning skills to manage their anger. The CD includes muscle relaxations and breathing exercises.
Moody
I have a 9 year old who is moody and emotional. Do you have a relaxation CD that might help?
The How do you feel today? CD helps children overcome a variety of emotions including anger, fear, worry and sadness. The CD allows children to blow away their feelings, takes them to beautiful places in their imagination and helps them relax deeply and feel better.
Creativity
Do you have a CD that would help increase my daughters concentration and creativity?
Concentration CD is useful for concentration and Princesses is a beautiful CD to help stimulate her creativity.
Tics
I have a 9 year old who has tics. I was wondering if relaxation might help her?
Tics, eye blinking, twitching or head/shoulder jerking may be related to stress and anxiety. Of course it would be wise to seek professional advice, but a deep relaxation CD such as Relax and De-stress will help your child feel more at ease and peaceful.
Nerves
My child is very nervous. She doesn’t like going to new places or meeting new people. Could you suggest a CD to help.
Regular relaxation may help your daughter feel more relaxed when going to new places. Nature CD is full of calming relaxations in beautiful nature settings and Believe and Achieve is full of positive affirmations set to music.
Bullying
My child is being bullied at school. Her self esteem has hit an all time low. Would relaxation help? Spending plenty of time with your child and relaxing together may help her feel reassured. The Believe and Achieve CD consists of positive affirmations and beautiful visualisations to help children feel better about themselves.
SELF ESTEEM
Low self esteem
My daughter has low self esteem. She puts herself down and says that she can’t do anything and is rubbish. She is bright and clever but can’t see this herself.
The Believe and Achieve CD is a collection of positive affirmations set to music that can help chidlren feel better about themselves.
