I Can Relax! A Relaxation CD for Children
It’s easy to tell your children “Just relax and stop worrying so much!”, but this is rarely effective in reducing their feelings of stress and anxiety. Relaxation strategies such as progressive muscle relaxation and visual imagery have been shown to be extremely effective treatment components for child anxiety, and also can be great general stress reducers for children. Now your child can learn specific relaxation skills that he or she can use anywhere.
Written by Dr. Donna Pincus, creator of The Child Anxiety Network (www.childanxiety.net), the I Can Relax! CD focuses on teaching children relaxation skills while also promoting positive self-image. Appropriate for children ages 4 to 12, The I Can Relax! CD features the voice of Dr. Pincus along with music and sound effects.

Today’s Hits,
Appropriately censored so the kiddies can enjoy them.
I like collecting these compilations so I don’t have to worry so much about whether I will have “new-er” music when I jam with my friends. And it’s great to have “edited” versions of the more “salacious” songs.

What are some of these songs?,
This is a great CD but there are some songs on here that we have NEVER HEARD! I can think of many songs that could have been on this CD that were more popular lately – the point of this CD, right?

This CD is better suited for relaxing during the day than at night,
I purchased this CD for my son who gets very anxious about a number of things. He really enjoys the CD and feels it helps him relax, but he feels it is better suited for the daytime as it asks the listener to do lots of movements (to relax different body parts). These movements don’t allow him to relax for sleep right away, so we use a different CD for bedtime. We do recommend this CD, however, as a good means of teaching anxious children, or anyone, how to relax their bodies and minds.

great cd,
The CD took several weeks to get to me but they threw in another useful item for me because I was upset about how long it was taking to ship (they were backordered). I am a Behavioral Interventionist and use this with my anxious client and we both love it! It’s fun and really teaches kids how to relax and recognize that they are tense.

A great resource for parents and children and teachers,
I gave this CD to my nieces (aged 6 and 9) and they used it every night to help them fall asleep. Their mom also bought a few cds for the children’s school. The gym teacher uses the cd in the classroom to help teach children how to tell the difference between when their bodies are tense and relaxed, and to teach children how to relax when feeling tense. The classroom teacher uses the cd to teach children how to relax before tests to get better grades (without letting the anxiety interfere). I also gave this cd as a gift to a friend whose 10 year old boy was having trouble with feeling anxious at school. My friend stated that the cd gave his son a coping skill which was useful during the day as well as at night. I highly recommend this cd to all parents. It can be helpful to all children–not just those who are anxious or worried. I have heard nothing but positive reviews from those I know who have used it.
