Does your child also bite on clothes that often? Does your child also regularly fiddle with things in the classroom?
Biting on sleeves
During the intake, Ingrid talks about the sensory information processing of her daughter Evie“When my daughter was a toddler, I noticed that her sleeves were often wet and sometimes broke. At home, I saw the biting behavior especially during waiting or relaxing moments such as in front of the television. The teacher also saw the biting behavior reflected in the school situation during tense moments or to increase concentration. Cords on clothing also often had to be worn in those days”
Chewing to focus
Evie is now 6 years old. From the intake and observation it became known that the biting behavior helps Evie to focus. On my advice, mother has purchased a special chewing jewelry for her daughter to be able to meet the need for biting but to spare the clothes, pens and pencils.
Chewing jewelry is widely used by special children, children with problems in stimulus processing such as autism, ADHD or highly sensitive children.
And did you know that fidgeting also contributes to better concentration. By administering these stimuli (by biting or fidgeting) you ensure that you activate your brain, so as it were, so that you can pay better attention.
Happy with the chewing chain
Mother’s first reaction when I spoke to her 2 weeks later: “Evie absolutely loves the necklace and she wears it every day, she experiences biting the necklace as pleasant. On the positive side, biting on other products and clothing is already fading into the background. The teacher indicates that Evie continues to pay attention in class. I can wholeheartedly recommend these products to other parents!”
