What does it mean to calm down?

Calming down means consciously reducing the amount of sensory input so that your nervous system can settle after a busy moment or sensory overload. With soothing aids you bring tension down and create a feeling of safety. Think of a Breathing Ball that slows your breathing, an Aqua Dream Seal or Turtle to watch calmly, a Big Friends stress ball, a calming Bubble Tube with lamp, a Calm Down Box with soothing materials or a Bubbler Drip Track. Calming down is pleasant for children and adults who are sensitive to a lot of stimuli or who simply want to relax.

Choosing calm down aids

When choosing an aid to calm down, look at what brings calm for the person:

Gentle movement and light: a bubble tube or drip track draws attention and works with slow, calming movement.
Something in the hands: a stress ball or breathing ball helps to physically release tension and slow down breathing.
A fixed place: a calm down box offers a collection of soothing materials that you keep to hand for busy moments.

Provide a calm environment and let the person choose what feels good. This turns calming down into a familiar and effective moment of rest.

Frequently asked questions about calming down

What exactly does calming down mean?

Calming down is reducing sensory input in order to relax, for example after a busy day or during sensory overload. Gentle, slow stimuli help the body unwind.

Who is calming down suitable for?

It is suitable for anyone who is sensitive to a lot of stimuli, such as children and adults with or without a disability who quickly become overstimulated.

Which aid has the fastest calming effect?

That differs from person to person, but a breathing ball or stress ball gives you something to hold straight away, while a bubble tube with gentle movement brings calm gradually.
