Great resource for all children I purchased this CD to use with my two younger sons, ages 6 and 8. All of my boys are somewhere on the autism spectrum and I was hoping this CD would hold their attention AND make an impact! It did! We have been trying to focus on making good choices, not just about food, but positive choices in general and this CD help to gently reinforce how making wise choices versus not-so-wise choices affects us all. As we were preparing lunches to take to school this morning, both boys commented that they didn't want to be like "the first two caterpillars" in the story (who made bad food choices). I was pleasantly surprised they remembered the story and grateful that the Lite's had produced something that appeals to maybe the "not-so-typical" children. The boys' Montessori school has Indigo Ocean Dreams available for parents, so I'm going to suggest they purchase this one as well. I highly recommend this CD not only for parents of Indigo children, or those with special needs, but for all young children to aid in their decision making capabilities.
My 10 year old won't go to sleep without it! I purchased this CD or my highly anxious then-9 year-old daughter about a year and a half ago. Bedtime was always a struggle and she typically lay awake for over an hour each night after going to bed. Listening to this CD, she is typically asleep in a very short period of time i.e. 10 -15 min. It quickly became her favorite CD in the series! Since that time, various life circumsatnces have created much upheaval in her life. Listening to this CD at bedtime has helped her relax and fall asleep much more easily in a new environment. I put in the CD every night after tucking her in, and if she wakes up in the middle of the night, she always asks me to put it on for her again. I highly recommend this CD not only for anxious children who need help learning to relax, but also for a child who may not be able to unwind enough to get him/herself settled at bedtime, or for children who are afraid to be alone at bedtime. The soothing voice is not only comforting and relaxing, but gives my child a feeling of not being alone. By the time the music begins, she is always out like a light!
My daughter gets the message. My daughter really loves the "Garden" cd. She has enjoyed all the Indigo Dreams in fact. She gets the message too. I found her talking w/her Nana about the music and how relaxed she feels.
needs a few changes to be great I bought this for my eight year old to relax her and decrease her anxiety before bed. She is used to listening to soothing music before she falls asleep. She said the stories caused her to " stay awake" rather than fall asleep, because she had to hear the end! She said the stories were " too drawn out and repeated themselves." ( yes, her words!) My suggestion would be to alternate a story with soothing music, that way after one story they could fall asleep to the music. Then the next night they could choose a different story to fall asleep by. All the stories together is too long.( she can't stay up that late!) I did listen to the stories and felt like they were well written. The alternation with music would be better though. She does love the soothing song at the end!
Not many stories I bought this for my six year old son who has difficulty handling frustration, and sometimes has a hard time getting to sleep. He absolutely LOVES the stories on the cd, the only problem is there are only two stories. The rest of the cd talks about ways to cope with negative feelings, which were mentioned in the previous stories, and then there are a few tracks of music. My son ends up listening to only 1/4 of the cd. The stories are entertaining, but he's missing out on learning the strategies. What should have been done was to incorporate more of the instruction of the coping strategies within the body of the stories. I may eventually buy the other cd's because the stories help to keep him in bed and feeling content, but I cringe at the idea of paying money, to then use only a portion of what I paid for.
