Toys & Products for Kids with Anxiety
Kids with anxiety can use sensory tools to help calm and self-regulate. Chomping on chewies can be soothing and help relieve anxiety. Kids can attach a chewy topper to a pencil for stress relief during tests, or wear chewelry for a soothing chew experience during doctor appointments or while walking through a busy mall. Putty is a versatile tool for anxiety relief. Conveniently packaged in small tins, kids can calm as they squeeze, stretch and mold putty. Kids can choose from appealing putty varieties like sparkly putty, puffy putty or magnetic putty, and different resistance levels. Both a therapy tool and a toy, putty is popular for anxiety relief because it engages kids of all ages at home, in school and on the go. Fidgets can also be calming for kids and teens with anxiety. Fidgets and puzzle that keep fingers and minds busy can distract kids from their worries and fears. For some kids, compression can feel like a reassuring hug. Kids can settle into a Cozy Canoe, or use body socks to wrap themselves up and feel deep pressure all around their bodies. Weighted lap pads or weighted blankets also provide depp pressure, which promotes calm. Releasing excess energy by bouncing on a ball chair or wiggling on a seating cushion can also help kids relieve anxiety while completing classwork. During a sensory break, or to settle down before bed, kids with anxiety can relax by gently swinging. Kids with anxiety can learn to use tools to better manage their emotions.
