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.

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.

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.

I was a bit skeptical when someone suggested this CD to help with anxiety, but I know am a true believer that relaxation techniques such as listening to this CD three times a week can lower childrens' anxiety prior to test taking. They somehow are able to deal with the test better.

This CD is worth the cost. It's reassuring, relaxing and almost hypnotic. The narrator's voice is so warm and friendly and assuring. I play it for my 8-year-old daughter every night at bedtime. Sometimes I stay in her room and listen to it, too, and it never fails to put me into such a deep state of relaxation that I usually fall asleep before it's over! We tried a Lori Lite CD, thinking it would be similar, but ended up returning it because it was a very different tone and style than "I Can Relax!" Lori Lite seemed more New Age-y and the narration was almost haunting. "I Can Relax!" is more cheerful and pleasant, in my opinion.

This is a really nice CD; I use it at bedtime for my children & when I asked them what they thought of it, they each said, "I don't know-- I fell asleep too fast!" The voice is very pleasant and natural; not someone artificially trying to sound relaxing.

Great way to relax your kids. Her voice relaxes me! Can't imagine being disappointed in this CD.

This is a great cd for children with worries and anxiety. My daughter (8) loves it and it really relaxes her.

My 8 year old daughter said this cd helped her to sleep better and she likes it.. My 11 year old son, who we bought it for in the first place, did not want to use it intitially. I "made" him use it and he said he was not able to relax.. so We have a mixed review at this point. I will have them try it for a week and do another review.
