Who was it created for?

Although this album would make a wonderful gift for any child or teen from a friend, parent or grandparent, it is especially valuable in the healing process for those who have experienced abandonment, trauma or abuse issues. The Dr. Laura Schlessinger Foundation uses these cassettes for children who are removed from abusive family situations. Over 2000 Copies have been donated to families affected by the September 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. Over 15,000 copies have been requested by relief organizations including Mercy Corps, Teddy Bears for Tykes and others.

What does it contain?

When we experience stress and trauma at any age, love can be one of the most effective tools to promote healing. Sweet Dreams My Little Friends both speaks and sings the truth about our innate personal value and our endless possibilities. Children of all ages, even teenagers, are sharing their inspiring stories of how this album is making a difference in their lives. Kira Johnson, age 6, tells of how she is finally able to fall asleep without sucking her thumb.

The mother of Christian, a super active 3-year-old boy, tells of how he “calms right down” whenever he hears the CD. He is then able to sit quietly and color and singing along. Pat, age 57, listens before falling asleep to remind her of her innate worth and unstoppable beauty.
