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 SCHOOLS

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).



REVIEWS

I stumbled upon your fantastic products when desperately trying to find a solution to calm my daughter when she had her serious anger control issues. (She is just 3 and half years old).
I purchased the fairytale meditations for Princesses CD and it is great. Although she doesn’t actually follow the guide to meditate it distracts her enough to allow her to begin her breathing technique.

I already have the superheros and magical princesses cd’s. My children love them they are aged between 7 and 13 and they are like magic whenever you play them they just relax and are so peaceful. A few months ago my nephews( age 3 and 11) were visiting and the towards the end of the evening the children were all tired and getting quite agitated, so I asked them if they wished to play a special game and they all agreed, I asked one of the children who they wished to be and peter pan was picked from the superheroes cd, it was amazing as they listened to your voice all of them were in complete silence and it was so interesting they each wanted to pick a different character to be so we made an afternoon of it. My sister in law couldn’t believe the difference the cd made. Thankyou again.

My daughter Zoe, age 10, loves her 'Fantasy Fairytale Meditations' and has used it over the past few years either by herself or together with me and we would float off into magical lands and become wonderful yummy princesses. But the CD really came into its own 18 months ago, when we moved house over 300 miles away from her friends and her old school.

Every night she would use her CD and, in a very short time, it was weaving its magic. The teachers at her new school are amazed at how quickly she has settled in, they had never seen anything like it. They now report that she is a wonderfully, emotionally balanced little girl and that she is happy and confident. She says "Relax kids is like having my own cloud of calmness to just float on whenever I need it"


I love this cd (Fairytale meditations for princesses) as much as my daughter(5).
She easily relates to the beautiful and descriptive visualisations of the princesses.
She puts it into practice by dressing up as a princess
and conducting a relaxing session at home with her friends and family
- starting with - sit quietly and have peaceful, good thoughts.

I discovered Relax Kids 3 years ago shortly after the birth of my son when I was training as an infant massage instructor. I have been using Relax Kids CD's ever since to introduce some welcome calm and relaxation after the "crazy hour" that seems to hit after tea between 5 and 6pm. Savannah loves the Relax Kids Princess CD with it's familiar and engaging stories. She listens to it in the peace of her bedroom ( away from her noisy brother ! ) after a massage and before settling to sleep. The CD is so relaxing that I often find myself drifting off before her !

My 3 year old daughter does not like to sleep in the room by herself. Since listening to the princesses CD, her vocabulary has become more descriptive and it has helped to develop her imagination. She loves being a princess and a mermaid and likes to go into the forest in her imagination. Often when she wakes, she says she has seen rainbows and angels.

My two daughters aged 4 and 6 have listened to this CD every single night since i bought it for them about 3 years ago! What wonderful thoughts for little children to be having before they drift off to blanket cove.
