‘Tunes 4 Toddler Tantrums with its catchy tunes, engaging animal characters and repetition is a delight for children and parents alike. The songs hit all the spots that can easily escalate into confrontations and has the potential to avert tantrums before they arise. In addition this delightful CD encourages interaction between parents and their infants encouraging their communication, sense of self-efficacy and independence and above all cooperation.”

Really Kid Friendly writes "We listened to it on a little playdate earlier in the week with two 3.5 year olds and two 2 year olds, and everyone (including the parents) really enjoyed it..... the CD is a definite winner in our house, so Im giving it a 5 out of 5."

monkeyingaround.com writes 'Little man loved the cd and was instantly easier during nappy time. He didn't try to get up off the floor and instead wriggled his bottom to the music, which was much better than the usual war we have. Lady P on the other hand liked the bed time song and we listened to it while she drank her milk before bed and with out a moan she went to bed with her teddy and fell asleep with in ten minutes. So what more could you ask for! I would highly recommend this to my mummy friends"

5 stars too from those lovely people at Babyworld
mediocremum.com blogs "My daughter has the most amazing hair but its a freaking nightmare to brush. It usually involves a lot of screaming and ducking and diving! Weve tried everything from special brushes to leave in conditioners. I hate brushing it as much as she hates having it brushed. Thanks to Tunes for Tantrums (songs about doing your teeth, brushing your hair, eating your good, getting into your buggy) were making some headway, excuse the pun! Seriously check this out!"

'Mummy reviews' writes "the songs are bright, cheerful and cover a range of situations that could potentially cause trouble, like teeth brushing, eating food and nappy changing, with colourful and vivid stories involving animals and the like. They act as a great aid to distraction and if there is one thing I’ve learnt... it’s that distraction is the best approach to diffusing a potential explosion."

"Mummy loves" writes "The nappy song is fantastic, Zara used to scream, wriggle and generally be a pain at nappy changing time, I don’t know why, she just seems to hate it and no matter what we do to distract her nappy times are usually a battle. This little song however does make nappy changing easier.........The other song that we have had fun with is the tooth brushing lion song, now Zara is still young and she used to be good for having her teeth cleaned but recently she has started objecting to it, I think mainly because of teething and sore gums bless her, but rather than turn it into a battleground we now sing the lion song whilst she is in the bath and try to make tooth brushing more about fun. I personally think it is a great idea and look forward to trying out the rest of the songs with my little diva, though hopefully we aren’t going to have battles with everything over the next couple of years!"

Testimonials
| We love the CD. Isla demands it daily at the very least. She hated brushing her teeth until the roary lion song. She requests the tidy song the most and it does work! |
|
| The CD is fantastic! When Ella hears the familiar songs it catches her attention and she’s happy! The tidy time song helps us to tidy up at home! |
|
| The CD is great. Alfie loves it and I find it calms him down if I use it when I need to leave him in his cot for a bit in order to do something. He does enjoy Deep Sea Tea Party at meal times. |
|
| Fantastic fun and it really works! I cannot praise this CD highly enough. |
|
| The Tunes 4 Toddler Tantrums CD has become invaluable to our family. |
|
| The distraction at school run time, getting on shoes and coats, means we haven't been late since, indeed it is now a fun game! Thank you Vicky Arlidge you are a life saver :) |
|
| The ‘Deep Sea Tea Party’ helps me persuade Polly to take an extra mouthful of food! |
|
| A real winner! We love it and can't recommend it highly enough. |
|
| We have really enjoyed having the CD at home. We like the food song and the tidy song is really positive. We do love to use all the songs. |
|
| I love the CD - the tunes are really catchy and I often find myself singing I'm going to change my nappy' at inopportune moments. |
|
| The CD is brilliant – both my boys love it, especially ‘Deep Sea Tea Party’. We often listen to it after tea time when everyone needs some inspiration to hear things upbeat! |
|
| The CD has been a great help for getting my 2 year old to do everyday tasks. We always brush Skylie's teeth to 'scary lion'. She quickly opens her mouth and lets me brush! Tidying up has never been so much fun. I hear her singing 'let's tidy' to herself as she's putting her books away in her bedroom! An overall great CD. She sings along to all the songs, it’s so lovely to hear. |
|
| Oliver loves it. It’s his CD of choice! Even my 4 year old enjoys it. ‘Down in the Bottom of the Deep Blue Sea’ has gotten a couple of bites of food into him. (No mean feat!) I love listening to him sing the songs on his own without the CD. |
|
| The CD is super! We have only had it for 2 weeks but Charlotte loves it – she stops whatever else she is doing (having a tantrum/chasing the cat) and starts to dance the second I press play! |
|
| We love the CD. Oliver will happily listen to it over and over again. |
|
| Polly loves listening to the CD, especially at mealtimes! The ‘Deep Sea Tea Party’ helps me persuade Polly to take an extra mouthful of food! |
|
| Sophia insists on having the CD on in the car now, we need a CD for every car in the family! All the family now know the words to the 'Octopus song', it is Sophia's favourite, she loves it & gets us all to sing it with her regularly! She also now knows all the words and sings it to herself. |
