Remedy the bedtime battles with LiSTNR’s audio collection for kids

LiSTNR’s collection of podcasts for kids is helping parents and carers across the country wave goodbye to the bedtime battleground.

The collection of podcasts aims to help kids wind down and relax before they drop off to sleep with audio aimed at educating, telling stories, sharing music and overall, establishing a healthy bedtime routine.

One part of the list includes Kinderling Radio, which tailors safe content specifically for kids, so parents can rest too, with peace of mind.

SLEEP

Bedtime Explorers:

Leading the sleep list is the new season of the beloved children’s meditation podcast, ‘Magical Bodies’ which helps children escape their busy minds and focus on winding down their tired bodies at the end of the day. They learn how to relax, let go and appreciate all they have as they settle to sleep. This award-winning meditation podcast has settled little ones to sleep over 24 million times….and counting.”
