Did you know that relaxing music for children can help with sleep and anxiety?
Is your child struggling to get to sleep at night? Are you seeking a natural remedy for anxiety in children? If you’re looking for calming music for children, then look no further – Alphamusic can help relax kids and settle a hyperactive child, on top of a whole host of other benefits.
Parents, teachers and carers turn to relaxing music for children for a range of different reasons. Whether you’re trying to manage a hyperactive child suffering from ADHD, or are looking for soothing baby music to lull your new-born to sleep, a wealth of studies have shown that music can positively affect a child’s state of mind.
Recent scientific research has shown that music’s form and structure can bring order and security to distressed children. In addition to this, research by the children’s hospital Great Ormond Street has shown that singing to babies not only soothes them, it also reduces their heart rate and lessens pain. As a natural progression, soothing baby music can aid both babies’ sleep and emotional wellbeing.
A recent study in the US also demonstrated that new-born babies who were played music whilst in hospital put on weight faster and were discharged quicker. The intrinsic link between a child’s mind and music’s ability to relax kids therefore seems strong, and relaxing music for children is being routinely employed both at home and in the classroom to settle and refocus children’s minds.
Medicating children is a serious decision, and many prefer to try alternative, non-invasive relaxation techniques beforehand, or prior to medication proving unsuccessful or detrimental to the child. Music for babies and children is an easy to adapt to and harm-free relaxation technique that provides the perfect alternative to medication.
How can Alphamusic relax kids and aid anxiety in children?
Music demands our brain’s attention and thus draws children’s minds in from other distractions. As a tried and tested natural remedy, Alphamusic takes this one step further by regulating the alpha waves in the brain, calming a busy mind. This allows children to either refocus their attention for concentration and study, or enables them to relax to the point of soothing into a restful sleep.
Relaxing music for children may be especially helpful for a hyperactive child or a child suffering with ADHD. Those who suffer with ADHD experience lack of focus, restlessness and erratic bouts of energy; by settling an overactive mind, Alphamusic can help a hyperactive child find focus and dispel distractions.
Alphamusic may also be an effective treatment for anxiety in children. By prioritising the alpha brainwaves and so reducing overactive electrical activity in the brain, Alphamusic can relax the child into a state of calm whereby intense feelings of dread or excessive worry are removed from the spotlight. The child is then able to refocus their attention and feel safe. The same applies to soothing music to ease children into sleep – Alphamusic gently settles a busy mind and may relax them to the point that they are able to achieve a restful and uninterrupted sleep.

When my baby was just 2 days old in the hospital and started to cry ,
My children have always had difficulty falling asleep and I am a firm believer in alternative remedies.
Our doctor suggested trying the John Levine music to help with our issues. The music creates
an atmosphere of calm and tranquility in the background while we are starting the bedtime routine. It has become
a way of life for us all now to turn on the CD player as we get pyjamas on.
