Answer 1

I have a bunch written down, but they are mostly on the order of more gross childhood songs, like Did You Ever Think When A Hearse Went By and Scab Sandwich. I am assuming you don't want those so:

Just type "children's songs" in the Yahoo search. It will bring up quite a few sites.

Answer 2

What are you planning to use them for?  We did a beautiful power point about childhood last year (only used with our kids  and their parents, not a commercial production) and used My Wish by Rascal Flatts and Watching You by Rodney Atkins. Another good one, I thought would be In My Daughter's Eyes.  And of course, I Hope You Dance is a beautiful song too.  These songs all express some of the beauty, hope, and joy of childhood, and they also are a reminder that our children are watching us as they grow and will behave according to what is modeled for them, so we need to set the best possible example for them.
