Weighted blankets were used primarily in therapeutic settings for children suffering from: - sensory-processing disorder, - autism spectrum disorder, - sleep problems, and ... - issues of self-regulation. The most critical concern when choosing a weighted blanket is to make sure it’s a safe weight and size. The weighted blanket for kids should be custom made and must not be more than 10% of your child’s body weight plus 2 pounds (optional). Weight of the blanket is very crucial, so you must not compromise on this aspect. #AGWeightedBlanket

Children with ADHD generally have deficits in executive function - the ability to organize, think and plan ahead, control impulses, even complete tasks. That means you need to take over as guidance while your child gradually acquires executive skills of their own.

As a parent you can help your child overcome daily challenges and channel their energy into something positive. Provide them with something that will calm them and give them a soft yet deep pressure to manage their mood and boost their serotonin level - #AGWeightedBlanket!

It could take up to 24 hours for your blanket to dry out, depending on the quality of the fillings, the fabric used, and the indoor or outdoor temperature where you are drying it out. Glass beads do not absorb water plus 100% cotton fabric also takes less time to dry out, as compared to the minky ones or the fleece ones. #AGWeightedBlankets for kids and adults use both these materials, which is why we strongly recommend them!

We all know what nightmares are - scary dreams. PTSD is a condition that is triggered by a terrifying event. People struggling with PTSD tend to relive their traumatic experiences and nightmares are one way. Potential causes of PTSD-related nightmares include events or situations that serve as reminders of the trauma source and seemingly random thought processes that bring the individual back to a traumatic experience.... Nightmares are the worst thing that interrupts sleep. By using a form of therapy called deep touch pressure stimulation, weighted blankets help the body to produce more serotonin, and in that way regulate the body's sleep cycle. #AGWeightedBlanket
