Mermaids & Fairy Dust (Calm for Kids) (Magical meditation for girls of all ages)

My 6 year old little girl has been having horrible night terrors for the past couple months. She would wake up 3-4 times a week at 2-3am and just cry for hours. I bought her two dream catchers, she has a constellation night light or the stars, the hall light, the dining room light, and a worry doll that goes under her pillow. I even bought the guardian angel saints candle and lit that through the night, plugged in the diffuser with lavender oil and tried reading her books every night before bed to make sure she was thinking of happy and positive things before going to sleep. Nothing worked. She was struggling in school because she was tired and irritable. I took a chance on this meditation CD as a last resort before I took her to a psychologist. She has not had a single nightmare, or woken up ONCE!! I am so very grateful for this product. She listens to the calm voice and follows the instructions to wiggle her toes, take deep breaths and relax her body/mind. I recommend this to anyone who has a little one that struggles with sleep, nightmares or just a racing imagination. I am getting full amounts of sleep, my daughter is getting full amounts of sleep, and in return the entire energy in our home has changed for the better! Thank you!!!

I have been purchasing most everything (except groceries) that comes into my home via the internet for years now. This will be the first review I have ever been motivated to write. After 2 years of easy bed time routines my daughter became potty trained. This and the change from a crib to a bed provided the opportunity for my daughter to call us back multiple times after lights out. We tried every technique including just letting her cry it out, to coming back endlessly to appease her discontentment. No matter what we tried the nightly ordeal always ended in screaming and tears nearly an hour after lights out. From the very first night we played this nearly one month ago, the problem has ceased to exist completely. She looks forward to this and other cd's that we have purchased to keep things interesting. She drifts off happily and is not heard of until morning when she wakes well rested. The other CD that we purchased was Christiane's other - Bedtime Meditations. I can't recommend this highly enough for this age group.

Nice... My daughter seems to enjoy it. Could use more of the mermaid and fairy theme...she was so excited to hear the mermaid/fairy tales (meditation) and wanted me to put on the mermaid one and said "that's it" so kids see the cover and expect ALL mermaids and ALL fairies. I am a yoga instructor and am hoping to share the power of meditation with my daughter. This is a nice way to calm the mind and breath. I expected a whimsical journey it's somewhat what I expected. Overall nice.

I have a 6 year old girl with anxiety that has had a hard time relaxing to fall asleep at night. This has been the best money I've spent in a long time. She not only goes to bed on her own but I have also woke up in the middle of the night and heard this on her in room because she's started the CD over again to help her fall back asleep.

My 5 year old likes this. She listened every night for 2 weeks, took a break for a couple weeks then asked for it back! She did mention the ladies voice was kind of strange, but she still likes the meditation and story.

I really like this cd and so do my 8 and 6 year-old daughters. They listen to it during the day if they need it and at night as well when they're going to bed. It's definitely more catered to girls (as if you can't guess that from the title already). I like the narrator's voice and how the stories/images move effortlessly from one to the other. There is good flow of music and talking. I'm very happy with this purchase and would recommend it.

My two girls (4 and 2.5) really respond to this CD - and it is perfect as we prepare for a nap/bedtime. It is also great for those nights that I am too tired to read books / make up stories. I love the narrator's voice is very calming with a great Irish accent. I am very happy with this purchase!

I love this CD more than my daughter does. I meditate along with the CD and feel at peace. It's a perfect way to wind down before bedtime. My daughter is highly emotional and I use this CD to help her learn how to calm and center herself. Great for little ones. Beautiful visualizations, calm music, very tranquil.

My daughter just turned 5 and I got it as one of her birthday presents. She thinks it's great and wants to listen to it most nights. There are lots of short meditations so it's not a long one to put them to sleep. She is still bouncing off the walls afterwards so I use it more as a set of bedtime stories. It doesn't relax as well as Christiane Kerr's original cd but what matters is my daughter enjoys it.

Very well received present, much enjoyed by a seven year old girl and helps her to relax, although it hasn't stopped her needing extra parental input to get to sleep finally. She's worried about the transition to junior school, so it's understandable that a CD can't counteract all those concerns...

My daughter who is 8 was finding it difficult to get to sleep in the evenings and we'd tried relaxing music, bedtime stories, milky drinks, buying a special lamp amongst other things!The Mermaids and Fairy Dust CD arrived and so far my daughter has never listened to more than 15 minutes before drifting off to sleep.I would definitely recommend the CD to anyone whose child finds it difficult to relax into sleep in the evenings.The visualisations are lovely and the voice of the lady is calm and pleasant to listen to.

My daughter (6) has a lot of trouble getting to sleep and from other reviews I hoped this might help. She did enjoy listening to it but it was certainly not a magic wand and has made no difference to her sleep issues.

Lovely cd, gentle music and lovely voice. It's a shame there is only one mermaid story on here considering the title is mermaids and fairy dust! I bought it because of my daughters loves mermaids, so a little disappointing.
