I'm trying to make a up a few cds of various music for my son. I've done some earth/world/classical music for bedtime etc, but am looking for suggestions for a cd that he or I can play in his room when he is having or about to have a meltdown/tantrum to help calm him down.
Thanks!

Try bands such as Tangerine Dream and Cosmic Gate. Go to youtube and search for them to see what they are like, it is all instrumental and modern, I find it to be relaxing, I listen to it while falling asleep. It can also help me concentrate, I listen to it in school too, to the great annoyance of my teachers.

Daniel Lanois, South, Jeff Buckley, Nick Drake, Peter Gabriel, some of Ween.
That is what I use, anyway. He may feel differently.

Colbie Caillat. Her music is soft and gentle, and quite cheerful.
