About Life in Harmony

The authors are deeply committed to education. Some are teachers, university professors and youth group volunteers. All are parents and/or grandparents. We believe children have an inner beauty and are innately good. We care deeply and believe Sleep Loved One Sleep is a beautiful expression of love and peace. 

As parents who have successfully raised 12 children and are watching some of those children raise eight grandchildren, we as the authors of this book, know how important it is for our children and grandchildren to cultivate and maintain a positive self-image. Young children need a strong, positive foundation to combat the negative influences they will encounter as they step out into the world. This book and CD are designed to provide a solid, positive image to children between the ages of birth and six years old.

Our Mission
One of the greatest gifts we can give to our children is the gift of positive self image.  Enabling children to believe in themselves leads them to achieve peace and joy.  It is our desire to help families raise happy, confident children by promoting a safe and harmonious environment.

About the Sleep Loved One Sleep Collection

The Sleep Loved One Sleep Collection became a reality as a group of friends gathered weekly to socialize and discuss caring relationships. As usual, many of the topics included their children and grandchildren.

While staying with her grandchild, one of the authors noticed a lot of negativity coming from her young grandson, a first grader. Knowing of his loving family environment, she brought up the topic at the weekly meeting. The group came to the conclusion that much of society is focused on negative information.

As our group was focused on positive caring relationships, we developed ideas of generating “positive-ness” into the lives of children. Thus was born the idea of a “CD of affirmations” to be played while children are getting ready for bed and nodding off to sleep. This seemed the perfect time to help re-focus and re-energize the positive input necessary for raising happy confident children.

In addition, a huge added bonus is that the CD calms young children and promotes their falling asleep quickly. A recent study at Federal University of Sao Paulo in Brazil showed that those who listened to a calming CD at bedtime enjoyed an extra 30 minutes of sleep and experienced less depression and anxiety than those who didn’t listen to the CD. People who have used our CD report their children calm down quickly when put to bed, and fall asleep in a shorter time span.
