What if you could read them a bedtime story incorporating powerful psychological methods to help them fall asleep quickly, easily and without drugs?\u003cbr\u003e Psychological sleep induction techniques include: - putting aside your thoughts until the following day - breathing deeply - slowing down - visualizing a safe and peaceful place - imagining a descent with the sensation of sinking - progressive muscle relaxation - using sleep-triggering words - employing the 'infectiousness' of yawning\u003cbr\u003e Such methods are well-known and can be found in libraries or by searching for 'psychological sleep techniques' on the Internet.\u003cbr\u003e This book also uses the hypnotic power of rhyme and rhythm. Songs and lullabies have traditionally been used to lull children to sleep. 'Hypnotic' poetry works in much the same way.\u003cbr\u003e The poems in this book are in the relaxing, calming rhythm called 3\/4 time, better known as 'waltz time'. All parents know that gentle, rocking rhythms can soothe a child.\u003cbr\u003e The rhyming is as important as the rhythm. Children love poems that rhyme. For them, rhyming words make poetry fun and memorable.\u003cbr\u003e Just as children respond to Forssen Ehrlin's sleep-inducing story of Roger the Rabbit (the inspiration for this book), so they can fall asleep while listening to the tale of Misti the Kitty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cecilia Egan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Quillpen Pty Ltd T\/A Leaves of Gold Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/14\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.25d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780987555403\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCecilia Egan:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Author Cecilia Egan is the mother of three daughters.
