Offering choice.One of the best tools in our toolkit. We get the desired outcome from our perspective and we teach our children to be fluent (fast) and decisive. Again, skills that will better equip them for the real world. Choice offers our children a chance to be the decision maker, and feel in control. What 3 year old doesn't want to be the boss? On the flip side, choice gives us a way to offer this control, while not having to compromise on the desired outcome. It's a win-win. "Do you want to take a bath or a shower?" Either way, they are getting clean.
Swinging has a range of well-known benefits. It requires balance and coordination, using their limbs to move backwards and forwards in the swing. Visual cues and vestibular inputs must be used to maintain balance. It also builds strength, as only by holding a posture and using their muscles can the swing move.
My Autistic child will only use your swing. Your cotton material is the only one around. Unfortunately, our first one ripped and so I had to buy this one again, but the only colour was pink/gray. My son won't go in this swing too much due to the pink colour. I can't give less stars though just because of colour availability.
