ENCYCLOPEDIA OF USES
Separation Anxiety (Kids)
Separation anxiety in kids can trigger the body's stress response, activating thefight or flightsystem, which results in heightened feelings of fear and distress when separated from primary caregivers. This biological reaction is meant to protect the child by encouraging them to stay close to their caregivers for safety, however is not always useful. Use BLAST® to keep separation anxiety from becoming full-blown resistance.
BLAST® Intervenes
TouchPoint Solution’s wearable devices are embedded with patented BLAST® (bi-lateral alternating stimulation tactile) technology.BLAST® is scientifically proven to alter the body’s “fight or flight” response caused by stress.The wearables emit alternating vibrations that disengage your standard stress response (sympathetic nervous system), and shift you into the calm, logical side of your brain (parasympathetic nervous system).
Change Occurs
When using BLAST® consistently to manage aggressive behavior, overtime you may not need them in certain situations as they become less stressful because of BLAST®. One of the ways BLAST® works is by creating new neural pathways that help modify the memories that trigger our stress response. With continued use of BLAST®, these new neural pathways can build overtime, progressively reducing the release of stress related hormones that can cause aggressive behavior.
Measurable Impact
Excess levels of cortisol may be released as your body’s response to stress that may result in agitation and irritability. A triple blind placebo-controlled trial with athletes showed TouchPoints™ stabilized cortisol levels during stressful events and reduced the level of stress. (Leal-Junior, E. C., Casalechi, H. L., Machado, C. dos, Serin, A., Hageman, N. S., & Johnson, D. S., 2019) View our full Stress Study.
After getting the bands, we saw that they had an event scheduled very near our home and I figured if it became a problem I could get him back to the comfort of home quickly so we went. He not only stayed for the entire event but he had a great time. He participated fully in the activities to the best of his ability and even initiated a conversation with another child completely on his own by commenting that he liked the other kid's shirt. This has NEVER happened before!!!!!
