We are finding going to sleep as early as we do in winter almost impossible. The sun is shining and calling us outside for a walk or a quick game of soccer. So I am having to look for new ways to help my daughter go to sleep at night.
What she loves so much and what helps her relax is a nice slow paced massage each night. After we’ve had story time, I lay beside her and give her a back and neck massage (sometimes arms too), and we find that this helps her relax into the bed. Then my husband will often come and give us some therapeutic touch. If you haven’t tried that, it is simple to learn. At the very least touch is another way to love our children.
And of course if we aren’t going to be physically there, our Dream Child CD is always helpful.
What are ways you find helpful to help your child to sleep?

Playing Music for Children Can Let You Get Your Rest
As parents we all know what is like when we are not able to get a good night’s sleep from time to time. However when the occasional night without sleep starts to become a routine every night of the week, it is time that you do something about it. One of the best ways to calm your child down and help them to relax so that they can sleep is to play them a selection of music for children.
At
Joy Filled Music we have created a CD filled with music for children including both instrumental pieces and songs that will give your child with a feeling of warmth and security. We have found that when you give your child warm and happy music and songs to listen to, they will drift happily off to sleep and as long as you let it play continuously will sleep much longer every night.

As we are writing this new CD to help children sleep, it helps me realize the importance of transitions. Our first version has short transitions between the story and the song, and I was aware how much more relaxing a 12 seconds of transition is than 2 seconds.
I also notice how children are much happier when there is transition time between one activity to the next activity. And I think I am happier when I have some transition time. I notice it more in others, when my husband comes up from work to dinner, I can see his head is sometimes still at work, rather than with us. I suspect the same is true of me when I move from one thing to another without transition time.

Is It Possible That Music for Children Make Your Child Smarter?
You will find that with a little research on your own that it is the opinion of most pediatricians and research psychologists that the right type of music can actually help your child to learn faster. This research has shown over and again that playing classical music for your baby even when they are still in the womb leads to improved learning abilities.
In multiple test groups the results have shown time and again that those babies and infants who were exposed to music for children such as that created by
Joy Filled Music have demonstrated a much higher level of learning abilities than those who were not. If you follow this by having them learn a musical instrument, it can boost their learning abilities and set them up to achieve much better success as they reach adulthood.

Bedtime Music for Children Can Make a Difference
Most parents are well aware of the benefits of a lullaby in helping to get their babies to go to sleep at night, but once their child is no longer a baby the music stops. Sadly these same parents fail to see the benefits of using music for children to provide that same nurturing environment as they grow older.
Instead they think that rather than using music at bedtime, their children need silence to help them sleep. At
Joy Filled Music we have created music for children, that is not only intended to help them get to sleep, but open their subconscious minds while they are asleep and provide them with positive messages. Research has shown that this type of music can help build their self-esteem and awaken feeling loved and safe at the end of a good night’s sleep.
