Any recommendations for relaxation/bedtime Music for a 6 year old?
My 6 year old boy seems to have a hard transitioning to bedtime lately. I am looking to purchase some relaxation music, lullabies, or meditation type music that might help him wind down and fall asleep easier at night. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.. there are just so many to choose from out there 
My daughter struggles with this too. We listed to a lot of Jessica Harper up to about age 5-6:
The CD “40 winks” is perfectly appropriate for very little kids, and kids who are a bit older too:

Then we moved into stories. Jim Weiss does a bunch of great CD’s with stories appropriate for kids this age, both boys and girls. My daughter started with “Best Loved Stories in Song and Dance” and “American Tall Tales”, and then moved into the Greek Myths that she still (at age 9.5) often listens to in order to fall asleep. He has a smooth, soothing voice that is easy to listen to but isn’t too syrupy sweet – just right for my kid.
Jim Weiss also has two bedtime CD’s, but we haven’t used those. Try looking for these at your local library so you can try them out before you buy them.

Good Luck!
