How to use Lavenderbuddy
®

When your child hugs and squeezes Lavenderbuddy® a burst of Lavender scent travels up their little nose- to the Brain- then to the Nervous system- activating the Vagus Nerve to reduce overresponsive pathways from external and internal process their body is having.
The Dried Lavender stitched safely inside a pouch of the same sensory fabric on the Bear for continued familiarity and placed behind a velcro opening, for extra tactile and auditory feedback. This can be removed to use the pouch to add a weighted bag or ice pack at your own discretion
Hugging Lavenderbuddy ® also releases Oxytocin (the cuddle/connection Hormone) in your child's brain. He is not a small Teddy so a big hug with him can give added proprioceptive feedback their body may crave.
The low plush sensory friendly fabric gives them a soothing tactile response they may need. Rubbing with fingers or having this against their skin induces a feeling of comfort and again sends signals to the nervous system to reduce over responses as above.
The Coloured Breath Points embroidered onto Lavenderbuddy ® helps your child have extra tactile guidance for Breath work, which we know is crucial for bringing the whole body into a state of rest and supports Visual Impairment challenges. This is also useful for colour recognition and counting skills through play.
With consistent use, it can empower our children alongside a new Buddy, to know they are capable of building skills independently.
This is essential for when their parents or safe person is not around or a parent is overwhelmed too!
Daily consistent use will then support the transition to bedtime as their nervous system has not been stuck in overwhelm during the day. A rested nervous system brings a rested Child and a rested Parent.
Perfect for transitions-
Hospital visits, Dentist, Airports, Changeover with separated parents, New Home, New School/ Nursery and may help reduce the fear responses that arise when something new does not make their body or nervous system feel safe
Lavenderbuddy ®is a Multi sensory Tool and comforter, not a Toy.
When Lavenderbuddy ® arrives we would advise introducing to your child, when they are in a relaxed state and not in the middle of a full blown "Brainquake"
This multi sensory feedback from Lavenderbudddy ® is what we want their Brains and Bodies to remember.
We want this "locked "in the body and brains memory for it to awaken/ coming back online, for future use when it is really needed and is fantastic to use for Sleep support.
