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.

For those parents who have difficulty encouraging their baby to relax enough to want to sleep, this is a must have. Singing lullabies to your baby can help shift him into a drowsy state, facilitating an easier transition to the sleep state. It is also one of the most incredible and wonderful ways to bond with your baby.
The lyrics are included, as this is not designed to be a solitary exercise, but one to strengthen the tie between parents and baby.
