Textured Weighted Pad, 1.4 kg

Does your child have a hard time sitting still? Maybe they need some proprioceptive input!

A gentle but firm downward pressure helps your child's senses tell the brain where the body begins and ends, and it releases oxytocin, a hormone that brings calm and comfort.

Having this weighted pad on their lap can help your child feel calm while sitting, for example in the classroom at school. The pad has a soft, bubbly velour surface which is lovely to touch, rub, and fidget with for restless hands. Its weight of 1.4 kg gives children that elusive sense of calm that can be so hard to find.

Please note that weighted products should not exceed 10% of your child’s body weight, unless specifically advised based on a professional assessment of your child’s needs. For instance, that means a weighted pad of 1.4 kg is generally only suitable for children weighing over 14 kg.

The activity supports skill development and is great for your child's well-being:

• It's time for immersion and relaxation.
• Here, your child is encouraged to concentrate.
• This boosts your child's body awareness.
