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.
Last but not least: swinging is fun! While it’s great to have additional benefits, part of the joys of being a child is having good, old-fashioned fun. When you are swinging endorphins are rushing through your system; you're learning new skills and developing a feeling of accomplishment. No one leaves a swing without a smile!
I’m new to this swing and so are my granddaughters
It seems relaxing and a nice little spot for a child with a book!!
I can see them using it on a daily basis.
As an Italian buyer, I struggle to find instructions on how to install it on a regular ceiling, one that is not made out of wood. Perhaps more tips on how to find a spot in the ceiling that will actually hold the weight would be appreciated. We're yet to try it though, so I cannot comment on the actual product yet. We're still trying to figure out the ideal spot on the ceiling.
My two and four year olds are in love with their new swing, especially Miss Four who really craves vestibular stimulation. It’s a dream for them, and though I’ve only had it for a week or so, I’m very pleased with my purchase.
We received the best customer service that we could ask for. We wanted to get this swing for my 2 years old who is very sensitive and always on the move. But we couldn’t find the right color so We contacted the shop and they shipped one for us from their store in Canada. Unfortunately it came with wrong color, contacted the shop again and they then sent us correct one shortly after without wanting us to return the wrong color one. The swing is very beautiful and buttery soft in person. My toddler uses it everyday. We can tell that our kid got so much more calm, less frustrated.
