Shelley Spencer-Hellmich works with children in her marriage and family therapy private practice, helping them with issues of stress by including relaxation, guided imagery and hypnosis. She has found that children can have issues with sleep due to stress. “Children can benefit from having coping tools they can use to reduce their stress naturally. Guided imagery is a tool they generally respond to well, and can utilize on their own.”

If you find that you need further suggestions with your child’s sleep, you may want to contact a medical or mental health professional. You may want to inform them that the child is using these audios as self-help aids to improve sleep.
