Did it have a different closing credits sequence as well (if you have seen Sleepytime Songs And Stories but not Bedtime Stories And Songs, the original closing credit sequence was the shot of an illustrated Cookie Monster holding a chalkboard that was used in most of the other videos from the My Sesame Street Home Video series, including Learning About Letters and The best of Ernie and Bert)? I am guessing that it had a different title sequence. I have read that some segments were replaced and that it included a somewhat different version of Everybody Sleeps.
This week’s video, “ Be a Bumblebee!” features the fun, energizing breathing exercise “Be a Bumblebee” from Breathe Like a Bear, followed by my song “The Sound I Found,” which gives little ones plenty of opportunities to BUZZZZ!Įarlier episodes include “ Kindness,” " Send Good Thoughts," and “ Colors.I have read that Sony Wonder re-released the 1986 video Bedtime Stories and Songs with a different title, Sleepytime Songs and Stories, as well as with a few differences. In each episode, I lead a simple mindfulness exercise from one of my mindfulness books, and then sing an original song that goes with it.

(Teachers: these are also perfect for savasana, or rest time at school.) So I’ve made a playlist of my most-loved lullabies available just for you and your kids. When teeth were brushed and clothes laid out for the next morning, they got to snuggle in and listen to their special song. I’d give them a short list of mellow, sleepytime songs to choose from (bonus - giving them a choice eliminates some of the power struggles that often come up at bedtime). So, not part of our routine.)īut here’s one thing that always helped: calm, soothing music. Bath time always turned my kids into giggly maniacs. (Warm baths are usually on this list, and hooray if that works for you. You know this already: a regular nighttime routine, the same bedtime each night, limit the sugar and screens. Getting adequate sleep improves attention, behavior, learning, memory, and overall mental and physical health.Īnd when they don’t get enough: “A child short on sleep can swing between being grumpy and hyperactive, with effects that can mimic ADHD.” (Source: Sleep Foundation.) Not to mention proven links to a diminished immune system and poor academic performance, as well as increased risk for anxiety and depression.Ĭonsistency is the key here. Nearly a QUARTER of kids don’t get enough. The AAP recommends 10-13 hours a night for kids three to five, and 9-12 hours a night for kids six to twelve. Some kids love it, many resist it-they all need LOTS of it. Art by Anni Betts from Peaceful Like A Panda
