A written informed consent will be taken from the patients' legal guardians.Patients will be assigned randomly to three groups (30 subjects each) to be anesthetized and either randomly assigned to listen to the mother's recorded voice at 2 times (in the holding area 3 minutes before induction of anesthesia till induction of anesthesia is ended) and (during emergence from anesthesia till complete recovery) (Group M) or will be given a single bolus of dexmedetomidine 0.2 µ/kg IV at 2 times (in the holding area 3 minutes before induction of anesthesia) and (at the end of surgery) (Group D) or given the same volume of saline IV at 2 times (in the holding area 3 minutes before induction of anesthesia) and (at the end of surgery) (Group C).To keep blinding, group M will be injected IV with the same volume of saline at the same 2 times as in groups D & C while in groups D & C, headphones will be putted as in group M at the same 2 times with no recorded voice.

Inclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria
Children will be assigned to listen to the mother's recorded voice at 2 times (in the holding area 3 minutes before induction of anesthesia till induction of anesthesia is ended) and (during emergence from anesthesia till complete recovery).
Children will be given a single bolus of dexmedetomidine 0.2 µ/kg IV at 2 times (in the holding area 3 minutes before induction of anesthesia) and (at the end of surgery).
Other names: Precedex
Children will be given the same volume of saline at 2 times (in the holding area 3 minutes before induction of anesthesia) and (at the end of surgery).
Other names: Normal saline
Time frame: 2 hours Postoperative
Emergence delirium (ED) will be measured by the pediatric anesthesia of emergence delirium (PAED).The scores for each of the five listed behaviours(makes eye contact with caregiver, actions are purposeful,aware of surroundings, restless and inconsolable) are added to achieve a total score (maximum score of 20). A score of >12 yields 100% sensitivity and 94.5% specificity for the diagnosis of ED
Time frame: 24 hours Postoperative
Pain will be measured by Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, and Consolability (FLACC) score ranging from 0 to 10 where 0= relaxed and no pain, 1-3= mild pain/discomfort, 4-6= moderate pain, 7-10= severe discomfort/pain.
