Classical music is the best way to get the kids down for a nap!  If you are a parent with kids young enough to still take naps play them some Classical.  I just got a Grieg cd (lovely by the way)  and I put it on for the kids for nap time. And wow they were out so fast!  :bow; :bow; :bow;

How old are your children?  I wish mine still took naps!  If I could get my youngest still long enough, he would probably fall asleep!  They don't sleep though, they "recharge".

Haha mine are 4.  If I don't get them to lay down for a nap they get really cranky.  So I stick with the naps. But somedays it isn't an easy task.

That's how you know you've finally grown up - when naps are a reward, not a punishment. . .

lol that's funny. When I was a kid (well say 7-9ish) my mother used to take me to classical music concerts. They just didn't impress me and I used to curl up and go to sleep. Strangely enough 10 years later I was right into it!

I have always loved music. You name it I love it.  Bob Marley, Enya, and Norah Jones do the trick for them too. But nothing works as well as classical.

Even though they complain about it, the kids at school like the classical music. It tends to soothe the savage beast.

Pacabel is used for accelerated learning processes.  Don't know about putting the student to sleep however.  Usually not too much problem doing that.

Yeah I was one of those kids. I worked all late and had to be at school by 6:30 for marching band. So I would end up falling asleep at some point during the day. haha

I recall reading a few years ago that classical music improves brain function.

Yeah I played a lot of classical for them when they were first born.  And for some reason I stoped.

Certain pieces do, according to educators and psychologist.  I did some experiments with Accellerated Learning Techniques a few years back.  It was hard to measure but interesting.
