Love Talk & Lullabies is a "doctor approved" prescription for a safe and sound sleep. Plus...there is an added bonus at no additional charge! This beautifully orchestrated one-hour CD actually encourages POSITIVE child development while helping infants, babies, children and even "BIG BABIES" (the ones with lots of stress) fall fast asleep and later wake-up feeling refreshed, loved and ready to take on the world. The first 30 minutes on Love Talk & Lullabies is great for calming your fussy baby and very soothing for YOU while out and about running errands. It features gracefully woven declarations of peace, acceptance, growth and love along with the sweet vocal sounds of children and adults for optimum relaxation. The last 30 minutes on Love Talk & Lullabies is sooooooooo hypnotic that is will put ANYONE to sleep. Its "secret ingredients" include...more comforting affirmations and special instrumental lullabies in order to induce a very deep and sound sleep. Perfect for naptime, bedtime and for anyone wanting to "catch some zzzzzzzz's." WARNING! Do not play this portion while driving or operating heavy machinery, as it may be hazardous to your health. Thus...ALL of these soothing lullabies which are carefully mixed with softly spoken messages are specifically designed to aid your children into developing early positive behavioral traits as they gradually fall into a peaceful slumber. "Ta Dah!" But, hey...don't just take MY word for it. While Love Talk & Lullabies has encountered overwhelming enthusiasm from owners and customers of various baby, book, music and toy stores. It has also been endorsed by world-renowned pediatric hospitals and RECOMMENDED by "hot shot" doctors of Medicine, Neurology and Psychology. (Psssst! If you get bored with all the "mumbo-jumbo" you can scroll to the end.) Otherwise...read this! According to: Eric Altschuler, M.D. Neurosurgeon Mercy Hospital, Pittsburgh, PA "Clinical studies have proven that music therapy and female vocal sounds such as those recorded on Love Talk & Lullabies, are helpful in increasing infant brain growth while decreasing fussiness." Jan Mills Spaeth, PH.D Doctor of Psychology "Leading universities have now revealed a significant link between music and intelligence in children. In addition, Love Talk & Lullabies offers well stated affirmations for a further opportunity to learn and grow." Dr. Jane Standley Professor of Music Therapy Florida State University "Music seems to be very effective for the babies, particularly those who are in a very stressful environment. If you can imagine a new-born baby who's going to spend the first two or three months of its life 24-hours a day in an environment with lights and lots of noise and alarm systems and equipment noises from ventilators, and the machines that are keeping the babies alive, you can imagine why the music might be very soothing in that environment." (Note: In an earlier study, using music and massage with agitated premature babies, Dr Standley found that baby boys left hospital one-and-a-half days sooner than those not receiving music. But the females, in typical form, did even better: they left hospital 11 days sooner.) Dr. Fred Schwartz Anesthetist Neonatal Ward Piedmont Hospital, Atlanta, Georgia "What we're doing with music is using music to cause a stress reduction for the babies, and this has been replicated in a number of studies, that music can change the behavioral state of an agitated premature baby that perhaps is thrashing the arms, and consuming precious oxygen and calories. So these babies are often blue, when you play music, they stop thrashing, they go into a restful awake or asleep state, and their oxygen saturation actually goes up right before your eyes. The cost of intensive care for our premature babies in the United States is about $3-1/2-billion per year. If we can incorporate music into our neo-natal intensive care units, we can perhaps save 10%, 15% of the total expenditure. We like to start out with something rather simple, perhaps similar to what the babies have been hearing in the womb, so for most premature babies in our intensive care unit, we use womb sound, and female vocal sound music, perhaps for the 20 week to 29 gestational week premature babies. Then they start being able to respond to a little bit more complex music, not over-orchestrated but a lovely lullaby is what these babies respond to very well. You can watch the monitors, and within one minute you can see the heart rate going down, the oxygen saturation going up and often a behavioral change fairly immediately. Levels of oxygen in the blood go up and they stay up, and this has long-term consequences as far as helping that baby grow faster." Dr. Tony Wigram University of Aalborg in Denmark President of the World Federation of Music Therapy "One of my research areas has been the physiological effects of sound on the body, in particular, low frequency sounds. In some research I did, I found that arousal levels did reduce over time if you used pulse low frequency sinusoidal vibration together with sedative or relaxing music. Sedative music, such as lullabies frequently are sung in a soft, gentle voice with gentle timbres. It is music that's very predictable, because if you have music which has got a lot of surprises in it, where you don't expect sudden crescendos, sudden accents, changes in tempi, then you're always being surprised and your heart rate will fluctuate accordingly. So if we define the parameters of predictable music as being very stable, very equal level of intensity and without sudden changes in tempo, then I found that over time, heart rates reduce significantly with this type of music. And that can be very useful for somebody who has anxiety or stress related disorders, who needs to find a way of slowing themselves down and calming down." Professor Dale Taylor Director of Music Therapy Studies University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire " My work shows how music therapy helps decrease stress, lower anxiety and to improve those areas that are damaged when anxiety and stress are at high levels, such as the immune system for example. When a person is involved in music, the scans of the brain show (and they basically measure oxygen consumption in different parts of the brain) that much more of the brain, particularly the right hemisphere, is activated. And so there are billions more neurons brought to bear on the task. Using music, we can get the brain to start doing some things that it cannot do when there's no music, simply because it's much more of the brain working on it." Emma O'Brien Music Therapist in Oncology and Palliative Care Royal Melbourne Hospital "We use music therapy methods to help treat the symptoms for chemotherapy, for bone marrow transplants, to help them cope with their treatment and long periods of hospitalization, so they can be alleviating sensory deprivation, feelings of loneliness, emotional stresses and also physical stresses that they may experience as part of the experience of being in hospital and having the diagnosis of cancer." Okay, okay...you get the point. But, who came up with this brilliant idea? Well.... Cynthia Goodman! She's the one that founded Storytoons Entertainment in order to write, produce and create children's music and stories that entertain and lift the spirits of young children. (Mushy...but true.) Goodman has been writing, producing and performing voice-over narration for radio, television and other audio-visual projects for over 25 years. (Yikes! That's a long time.) Goodman, was born 1955 in Oshkosh, (By Gosh!) Wisconsin. In 1961 her family moved to Green Bay where she attended Annunciation School and was an avid "Packer Backer & Cheesehead." She later moved to Duluth, Minnesota from 1966 until 1979. It was there her parents took her and her four brothers on numerous camping trips and proceeded to use them as "mosquito bait." She also attended Woodland Jr. High, Duluth Cathedral H.S. and the University of Minnesota. In 1977 Goodman began her career as a weekend news photographer and reporter at KDLH-TV in Duluth, Minnesota. Later, Goodman figured out that little birds with tiny bird-brains were smart enough to go south for the winter,so she did too-permanently. In 1979 she moved to Tucson, Arizona where she worked as a writer and producer at KGUN-TV and Corporate Communications Manager for Golden Eagle Distributors in Tucson, Casa Grande, Buckeye, Globe, Holbrook and Flagstaff. Goodman resides in Tucson, Arizona with her husband, Steven Shaw, M.D. So, there you have it. Now do yourself and your baby a BIG favor....BUY Love Talk & Lullabies...and get some sleep!!!!
