When a child is anxious or angry, their brain feels overwhelmed. Playing with a sensory toy can help them shift their attention from those emotions to something calming.
With CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), we teach kids to notice their thoughts, feelings, and actions and how theyโre all connected. Sensory toys support this by giving them a tool to manage the physical signs of stress while they learn new coping skills.
