Finding your monster-music moment
Start by offering choice: a quiet song, a story, or silence. If music is welcome, lower the volume and leave enough space for simply listening. A slow sway or gentle drawing session can accompany the track, but there is no need to keep everyone occupied. Sometimes doing less is the whole activity.

Is this a sleep treatment?
No. These are optional music and play ideas, not medical or sleep advice.
Can we use an instrumental track?
Yes, when an instrumental option is available; quiet listening can also be entirely silent.
