Comfort Chews provide children with a discreet and safe way to fulfil their need to chew or suck.
Chewing and sucking facilitate activation of the muscles in the jaw. This provides the child with calming proprioceptive input. This input assists children with Sensory Integration difficulties to regulate their nervous systems.
Children with these difficulties often chew their clothes, nail, hair or pins. They also tend to suck their thumbs or grind their teeth. Comfort Chews provide a safer alternative for these behaviours.
Safety considerations:
The pendent is large to avoid choking
The breakaway clasp reduces the risk of strangulation, however they should be used under adult supervision and are not recommended for children under 3 years of age
They are made of non-toxic, BPA Free, Food-grade Silicone
They are more hygienic as they can be washed in a dishwasher, steriliser or in warm soapy water
They are made of flexible material which decreases the risk of wear and damage to teeth from -chewing
The chews are hard wearing but not indestructible. An aggressive chewer my damage the pendent, adult supervision is thus required. Once damaged it needs to be replaced.
