It's a great tape. The script is first class. I listened to it with my 10 year old son the first time, just to listen to it (okay, to vet it). After 15 minutes I was in a somnabulistic state (just about fast asleep, in fact). I jolted awake, remembering I was supposed to be monitoring him, and found my 10 year old still lying with his eyes open. But he'd been listening to every word and, afterwards, he was much more relaxed, calm and "in touch" with himself than he's been for a long while. And the point here is, with hypnosis the message gets through just the same, however "awake" they seem, even if they've got their eyes open. It sometimes takes time for a child to want to close their eyes.

There are too many things going on in life for kids at the moment. GameBoy, TV, Sims - you name it. Hey, I've got a 10 year old. But it makes you feel good as a parent to watch your child lie back and relax on the sofa, listening to a tape that makes them feel good about themselves.
