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.
