New Fidget Toy for Anxiety and SPD?

Has anyone seen these? My nephew had one and now I am seeing them everywhere. They are supposed to help with anxiety and spd?  Not sure how that works, but if you have one, I'd love to know your thoughts.  Distraction?  Beneficial?  

Wise Words Wednesday

Love this quote.  Children with sm have so much to say and share when they are comfortable!  I have found that children with selective mutism often have incredible personalities and are full of imagination.

My Book of Brave launching tomorrow!!

I am so excited to announce that My Book of Brave: A Journal for Taking Control of Scary Feelings and Fears will be available tomorrow on Amazon. I created something very similar to this for my child when he was at the height of struggling with his selective mutism and sensory processing difficulties. It was only stapled pieces of paper, but it became such an effective tool for him, that I knew one day I wanted to create a true journal to help other children dealing with anxiety in their daily life. I have been working on this for a long time and I am so excited that it will finally be available tomorrow. (I’ll provide a link once it is fully up and running on Amazon in the morning) If you are interested in learning more about it, check out my video to show what the inside includes and how the idea for this journal came about.
