For those parents who spin a lullaby CD every night to help their young ones ease into sleep, Patti Teel's The Floppy Sleep Game will be a welcome addition to the bedtime routine. Adamant that this is not a replacement for bedtime stories, Teel is equally convinced that Floppy Sleep will enhance story time with a mixture of song, narrative, and a shake-the-day-out methodology for relaxation. This 20-minute CD is, at first, altogether simple in musical terms, with Teel narrating along (and even coaching that kids should have their jammies on and teeth brushed before listening), then singing, then leading the charge through ambient ocean sounds and other soothing audio excursions. The gist of the game referenced in the CD's title is to have kids involve different parts of their bodies, mentioned in the running narrative, and feel the day's excitements leave the body as the story continues. Teel takes her process directly from yoga exercises, and even a casual adult listen triggers a certain focus on the body and an easing of its tensions. All the while, Floppy Sleep Game is very soft and tender, a sweet way to make the transition from day to night and enter the dream world from a position of relaxation. --Andrew Bartlett

Good Housekeeping, October 2000
"The Floppy Sleep Game is a must-have for kids three to ten who refuse to snooze."

Customer Reviews

The Floppy Sleep Game
What a soothing tape for children. My son enjoys moving his arms and legs to the music while he slowly relaxes before falling off to sleep. He loves listening to the turtles in the background. This tape is perfect for bedtime. The bedtime routine is so much easier now!

Ok
The music is nice and soothing. Please note that the CD is only 20 minutes. I don't think it is worth the 12.99

concerns about the Floopy Sleep Game
While the narrative is soothing and the music is lovely, I have a basic concern with the guided visualization used on this tape. Living on a lake and having Grandsons overnight with us frequently, I am returning this tape because of the encouragement to visualize walking down to the river and getting atop a turtle and smoothly floating on...

In that we carefully insruct the two small boys to NEVER go to the lake without an adult, it is not helpful to suggest that it is okay to walk down to the "river" alone and quietly. The relaxation techniques are nice and the music pleasant but the verbage is harmful to younger children
