Sleep magic
I have been struggling for months to get my toddler to fall asleep at bedtime, after using this app for the free trial, I was sold and purchased the year subscription. Most nights he is now asleep before the story is over. And to top it all off, my toddler loves the stories! They are a nice calming way to end off the day as he dozes off to sleep.

This app is incredible!
There are so many things to love about this app. We of course love the bedtime stories but the morning affirmations may actually be my favorite feature. Mornings can be a little tricky for us, both kids want to be held by me and I need to make breakfast. I’ve been putting on the morning affirmation and it immediately calms them down and turns our morning around. My toddler even asks for it everyday now. He also always asks to listen to his very favorite story, “the friendly spider” before every bedtime. This app has made bedtime much easier for all of us! Now I get to just snuggle my boy while we both get to relax and listen to the story (I no longer have to be the creative one at 8pm after a long day). This app has been such an incredible addition to our bedtime routine, morning routines and even helpful for car rides!! I’ve recommended it to so many of my mom friends already!

Works every time!
Naps had become a verrry rough time in our house after bringing home our third baby and getting my toddler down while holding a newborn felt impossible. I decided to give this app a try and it was a total GAME CHANGER! My toddler calmly laid down and went to sleep within 5 minutes just listening and relaxing (relaxing!!! If you knew my 2 year old this would sound like a joke but it’s true!). We’ve continued using it for about a month now and it works every dang time.

Even for Velcro nurse forever babies!
My son who acts like he’ll die with a boob in his mouth overnight loooved the stories in the app and it was such a key tool in night weaning process!
Such a blessing for our family…
This has been a life saver for us, especially this week! We have two kids, 4 and almost 2. We have always supported to sleep. My oldest has always been harder at night and when my second was born we almost immediately bed shared and I nursed to sleep. Well my older, more difficult sleeper stayed difficult. My husband and I tag team and I always feel he gets the “short end of the stick” since I get to nurse the baby and he wrestles the beast! Ha! I’ve started playing the bubble story at night while nursing and the baby loves it! He even asks for it and falls asleep almost immediately. It has allowed me to slip out and take a few nights a week with the older one to share some of that load. We also had a nasty stomach bug this week and my normally, must have darkness, sound machine babies BOTH passed out cold on the couch 15 minutes into the Halloween story.. thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! I’ll be recommending this app to everyone I know.

3 year old loves!!
What a difference these stories make in helping my 3 year old fall asleep and relax. She’s hooked on the same few but she always falls asleep during one. She used to pick a song to listen to on repeat and this is so much better, especially for laying next to her, so relaxing. I wish that all the stories had music at the end, but I think I heard they were working on that!
Also LOVE the morning affirmations we listen every morning on the way to preschool!!

Worth it!
I’ve been using Goldminds for about a month. While we do a bedtime story here or there, our biggest use of the app is after daycare pickup on the drive home. Previously my almost 4 year old would be cranky and hungry, mad at anything, and showing all the classic signs of ‘restraint collapse’ after a long day. She also has an infant sibling that sometimes cries in the car and they would upset her as well.
Now she asks to “listen to a story” and it’s been such a great way to transition our day to home. Even I appreciate the reminder to take some deep breaths! The stories are so sweet and captivating, with a soothing voice. It’s also reinforcing some great regulation skills ! Just today when her brother was crying I saw her taking very purposeful deep breaths, without prompting. Love the app

Sleepy Dust in App Form
I support my 18mo son to sleep every night right now, and the Goldminds 30-40 minute sleep stories have saved my sanity. Instead of sitting in a dark room, in a rocking chair, holding my toddler while my brain rots to white noise, we’re both enjoying a calm story and he is usually out in MINUTES. I rock him for the whole time just so I can enjoy the rest of the story…🤭 Best part is that instead of looking at my clock every 5 minutes to figure out how long I’ve been in the room, I just wait til the story is done and I know how much time has passed. 😂 Will be using this as part of our bedtime toolkit for a long time, I can already tell!

Goldminds is *gold*
My husband and I usually divide and conquer with our kids at bedtime, so I don’t usually get moments with just my oldest. We’ve started using this app as a little wind down before he goes to bed with my husband and it’s so sweet to have that time with him. Also use while his siblings nap and the stories help ME too to calm down and remember to breathe during the day when things can get chaotic. The personalized stories with his name in them- obsessed! Also love for a car ride!!!

The whole family loves it!
I lie down with my 15 month old and listen to these stories before his nap and at bedtime and he loves them so much! Me and my husband also listen to a story before bed, we used to fall asleep to the TV but both feel much more relaxed falling asleep to these stories. The narrator is wonderful and the content of the stories are awesome and so varied.
