Just a few minutes in the sensory swing can make a huge difference for my kiddos! It helps regulate their nervous system, boosts their mood, and resets the tone for the day. You’d never guess from this video, but just minutes earlier they were arguing! We quickly shifted gears to the swing and played a game we call “wrecking ball,” which gets them both engaged and laughing together in no time. Here’s why the sensory swing works so well: 🤗 Self-Regulation: The calming, rhythmic motion helps soothe the nervous system, making it easier for kids to navigate emotions and feel more in control. They can also do this independently and seek it out when they need it! 🤪 Sensory Integration: It provides proprioceptive input (deep pressure) and vestibular input (movement and balance), which support body awareness, coordination, and overall sensory processing. 🧠 Focus and Attention: Once their sensory needs are met, kids can tune out distractions and focus better on tasks and play. If you have a little sensory seeker, you won’t regret getting a sensory swing! 🫶🫶
