Trying to get your kids to go to sleep can sometimes be a battle. That's why Dr. Kristen Race, owner of Steamboat Springs-based Smart Dreamzzz, has developed a series of CDs that help kids go to bed easily and sleep through the night. According to Dr. Race, who has a PhD in child, family and school psychology, nearly 75% of parents cite their child's sleep as one of the most stressful parts of parenting.
The company's first CD, Animal Dreamzzz, is aimed at children 3 to 10 years old. Consisting of three different stories, the CD has children imagine they are a baby elephant, a giraffe or a cuddly bear as they relax their muscles and drift off to sleep. Additional CDs include Dino Dreamzzz and Day Dreamzzz, and each is available in stores such as Tattered Cover Book Stores and Belly Bliss for $12.99. Downloadable versions also are available online at smartdreamzzz.com for $9.99.
