Sleep Meditations for Kids
The end of the day is an exhausting time for everyone, especially moms, so there are few things more frustrating than bedtime struggles with kids. If I am being honest, there have been more times than I can even count when I have screamed to myself in my head, “Just go the BLANK to SLEEP!!!!” when bedtime shenanigans have prolonged the process more than I can tolerate.
The past year, in addition to the typical “do anything possible to prolong the bedtime routine”, my oldest daughter was also having a lot of problems going to sleep.
She told me she couldn’t fall asleep because she couldn’t stop her mind from worrying. Oh, how we all can relate to that.
My sister was having the same issues with her son, and ended up researching sleep meditations for kids and sent me this sleep mediation she found.
We downloaded the app to an old phone and although resistant at first because she thought it was kind of silly, she listened to it and went to sleep without issue the first time trying it.
She then asked for it again the next night, and she now listens to it every night to go to sleep. It has been amazing for our family, which is why I wanted to share it with you.
It’s called Sleep Meditations for Kids by Christiane Kerr.
It would be my dream that it might help you too.
Sweet dreams mamas.
I can also recommend “Stop, Breathe & Think”. It’s a fun interactive app for kids. When one of my clients told me that it really helped her kids sleep (9 – 14 YO-ish), I tried it. It works best when I remember to use it!
This is great! It really has been life-changing for us since we started listening to these!! I haven’t seen this App though and will look up tonight!
We use the app called Relax Sounds. I like it because my son can pick sounds that are soothing to him and there is a timer.
We have been having the same issues with our 4 year old. Tonight I downloaded the app and used it- it worked!! Thank you Jen!
Thanks for all the tips ladies!
