About
Getting Kids
In Sync

“Today has really made a difference to me. After three years, I now, for the first time, understand my son — and that is pure joy” (Parent of a child with Learning Disability)

“Perfectly and clearly articulated without being ‘dumbed down’ or unprofessional. Entertaining as well as right on the money for me.” (Music Therapist)

About Gen’s
Music

“We play it at home, in the car, when we are spinning out disorganized in the evening. ...it really does bring some centering for the girls (and the parents), and unites us back to the same arousal from which we are more organized to do anything. ...every parent I know could use such a nice and easy 'engine changer!'” (An occupational therapist who is also a parent of two young children)

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Cool Bananas

Favorite Kids' Rhythms for Calming,
Cool Downs and Bedtime Routines

Cool Bananas was created to provide children with a selection of strong, regulated rhythms to support a state of calm, organization and regulation in their nervous systems.

Enchanting favorite childrens' songs sung at 50 to 70 beats per minute support the dysregulated child as background music during therapy, classroom and home activities (e.g., table top time, play time, bath time, car rides).

Don Campbell, in his book, Rhythms of Learning, discusses the importance of using rhythms of 50 to 70 beats per minute: “The pulse in these slow movements is similar to the rhythm of the human heartbeat and has been found to slow body functions...” Soothing rhythms, songs and meditative sounds are also included on this CD to support bedtime routines, cool downs and quieter therapies.

what they’re saying

“These songs support the disregulated child during playtime, bath time, car rides, quieter therapies, and bedtime. No actions accompany these songs. Because these songs are sung at a slower tempo, children with speech difficulties will find these songs easier to sing along with. Ms. Jereb has done another wonderful job here singing and orchestrating these perennial favorites.
 
...no musical experience is necessary to use these toe-tapping, hand clapping songs which are well performed by Jereb and her musicians. These CDs saved the day this summer for our two children with autism on our lengthy road trip. The only requirement for using these CD’s is to press 'play' and have fun.”
-- Maureen Bennie, Autism Awareness Centre
