Average Ratings:

Indigo Dreams is a 60 minute CD/audio book designed to entertain your child while introducing them to 4 research-based, stress management techniques. Four unique bedtime stories incorporate diaphragmatic breathing, visualizations, progressive muscular relaxation, and affirmations (positive statements). These are the same techniques recommended for adults but presented in a fun, interactive format that appeals to children. Children follow the characters along as they learn belly breathing with A Boy and a Bear, make positive statements with The Affirmation Web, visualize with A Boy and a Turtle, and use progressive muscular relaxation with The Goodnight Caterpillar. All four of these stories are also available in book format. Indigo Dreams shorter stories are perfect for shorter attention spans and beginners. The stories are best suited for ages 4-9. These proven techniques encourage wellness and provide tools for children who suffer from anxiety, stress, trauma, hyperactivity, anger, sleep issues, and lack of confidence. The female narration is accompanied by soothing sounds of crickets, gentle breezes, and forest animals. An additional music sound track is included to further enhance your child's relaxation experience.

Summary: Wonderful
Comment: My kids love this CD. They like the stories and it puts my daughter to sleep very quickly. They prefer the ocean version, but they also like this one as well. The stories are the same, only in different environments. I'd recommend this CD to any parent.

Summary: great sleep help for preschooler
Comment: My 3 1/2 year old has always had a difficult time getting to sleep. This CD has helped her so much! She used to listen to quiet music but she had a hard transitioning from being up/reading books to laying still and listening to music so she would often roll around and talk to herself and get herself wound up. We tried stories on tape but she would stay awake and listen to the whole story and then still be awake! This is the perfect combination. The short stories at the beginning (I think 5 stories about 5 minutes each) are active enough that she listens to them rather than plays. They are active in that they talk to her and ask her to participate but the talk is about relaxation--the snake learns to hold his body still, the turtle takes deep breaths--so they encourage her to lie still and relax while still feeling involved in the story. Quiet music plays after the stories. I have yet to peek on her and find her awake even 5 or 10 minutes into the music--a huge improvement for this child!

Summary: Relaxing and Soothing
Comment: My daughter has been having unexplanined panic attacks. I picked this CD up at a school psychologist conference to give it a try. The results are amazing. My daughter has learned to use the techniques presented in the story when she feels an attack coming on. The breathing and positive statements are her favorite. I have listened with her and we both find the speakers voice to be soothing and reassuring. The music is an added bonus. The adorable factor is high with the use of a bear breathing, a turtle floating, and a caterpillar stretching out as he used progressive muscular relaxation....wonderful visuals for any child.

Summary: Creepy voice, even for a 7 year old.
Comment: I wish I had read the 1 ratings before purchasing this item, but it was so highly rated I bought it without hesitation. It was a complete waste of money. I listened to it and thought, "This isn't very relaxing," but didn't say a word. I then played it for my 7 year old daughter after she took a bath and crawled into bed, and she immediately crinkled up her nose and said, "weird!" Then she laughed at the ridiculous thought of listening to it. It was creepy and weird, and she gets spooked easily, scared of "monsters under the bed," etc, so I immediately stopped the CD because I can imagine such a creepy voice could inspire nightmares and fear.

I then played the Indigo Ocean Dreams for kids age 6 and up and although it is also weird - the first story is about an "angry octopus," the voice is better and my daughter was willing to listen to it. However, I would not recommend either one.

If you get this, do not play it for your child alone. Stay with your child and listen together.
