When I was little and would get sick and couldn't sleep, my Mom would rub my forehead and sing soft, soothing songs to me. It didn't make the fever go away or heal the chicken pox but it sure would calm me down and make me feel safe and secure. I do the same with my son, Boo, whenever he isn't feeling good, or just to help him relax.
Here is a great story about lullabies - "Science of Song: Do Lullabies Help Sick Babies?" by Juju Chang and Maggie Burbank - this was on ABCNews.com May 29, 2008. And feel free to pop in your Stardust CD while you read. ;)
