The Science and the Art Through the positive effects of music – in particular lullabies - Hushabye Lullabye encourages calm, relaxation, singing and together time between little ones and their family creating the emotional atmosphere and environment necessary for a peaceful bedtime for our CBeebies audience. Singing together – a core value of the brand - creates a stronger bond between parent and child by releasing Oxytocin 'The Love or Cuddle Hormone' enabling synchronicity by placing parent and child in the same emotional space.Through the lyrical lullaby melodies, infants receive greater emotional content and are exposed to repetitive language promoting language and cognitive development.
Familiarity Singing and listening to lullabies has been shown to decrease levels of stress and anxiety in both children and parents. The familiar, cosy, soft enveloping textures of Planet Dream reflect the haven of snuggly bed and blankets – of home, family and the grownups that cuddle and keep them warm making everything all right. The original lullabies and vocal familiarity within each unique episode encourages singing together, enabling bonding and attachment to take place in a soothing environment nurturing connection between little ones and their parents/caregivers.
