I got the nice question from Tanja from Toys42hands which SAM accessories are the favorites here at home.
Before we move on to our top 3, I would like to tell you more about our personal story. The story of SAM started from the search for low-stimulus clothing for my own highly sensitive son. From the focus groups with experts and experienced professionals, in function of the development of the SAM products, I learned that many children are also looking for extra stimuli to be able to regulate themselves better.
And yes, only when we feel good about ourselves will we be able to optimally use our talents and come to learning. Hence the importance of a stimulus balance in equilibrium.
Then I also understood the behavior of my own children better. Instead of asking them to stop fiddling with their clothes, the table, everything within reach,… Or chewing on clothes, pen caps, nails,… I understood that it was better to offer them an alternative.
This is how the ZEN accessories from SAM came into being, which are a nice, subtle addition that matches the low-stimulus clothing and which offer a nice alternative and keep our clothing, pen caps & nails safe.
Our personal TOP 3 for better stimulus processing, less stress and higher concentration:
1. Chewy fidget
Why?
This Chewy fidget looks fun and is subtle.
Always within reach.
Not lost.
Ability to chew or fidget.
Easy to hang on the zipper of a jacket or hoodie, on your (book) bag, pencil case, etc.
Or the Longsleeve T-shirt from SAM which has 2 subtle loops at the top of the collar and 2 subtle loops at the bottom to hang the chewy as a cool clothing tag or hanger.
Why?
The weighted collar provides an immediate feeling of calm through deep pressure effect.
Handy to use at school, while working on your computer, on the couch or in the car…
Lovely soft and beautiful collar.
Suitable for both children and adults seeking peace and quiet.
3. NO-stress hoodie
Why?
The hoodie features subtle options for attaching accessories.
This way you hang the chewy fidget on the loop of the zipper, or secret loop in the pocket of the hoodie.
The weighted collar also matches the hoodie and is so very subtle.
It is also nice to attach the beautiful SAM stress ball to the loop in the pocket of the hoodie, so that you always have your fidget material subtly at hand without the risk of it getting lost.
Are you also looking for super soft low-stimulus socks , underwear and clothing ? Then definitely take a look at the SAM website. The SAM products are available for children from 4 years and up to size XL for adults.
