Relaxation for Kids

Weighted vests work by providing children with sensory processing difficulties with the deep pressure sensory input that they need to calm and organise themselves. This type of ongoing sensory input can make all the difference for some children. We recommend consulting with an Occupational Therapist to determine if this is an appropriate strategy for your child.

The vests are available in black, royal and navy blue, pink, and red. When ordering a vest please send us an accompanying email indicating your choice of colour and your child's weight. We make the weights up to 5% of your child's body weight. This is the recommended weight, however some children do better with more weight. In this case you can purchase an extra set of weights - see Calming Vest Weights Set.    All prices include extra weight postage fee.       

Calming Weights are needed to place in the pockets of the calming vest. The pockets are located inside the vest both at the front and the back. The amount of weight needed is determined by your child's weight. Our weighted vests include weights to 5% of your child's body weight contained in 4x double-sewn bags. The weights are steel pellet. Sometimes children do better with a little more, up to 10%. The extra weights simply go in the same pockets inside the vest and can be easily removed as needed. Please send us an accompanying email when ordering to let us know the weight you need.

Very effective series which children love. Children learn practical visualisation techniques which promote relaxation, self esteem and confidence. The stories are delightful. You can find out more at www.magicmusic.com.au

The 'Making Rainbows' CD provides 60 minutes of storytelling to capture a child's imagination and carry them off into a world of fantasy. Developed for children aged 7-11 years.

The weighted blanket provides children with calming, deep pressure sensory input. Many parents have found this to be an effective strategy to help their child settle to sleep. The weight is provided through evenly distributed pockets of steel pellets, quilted into place. The quilts are available in a choice of 4 colours or you can send your child's current dooner cover. An extra weight freight charge is included in the pricing.
