Product Information

Feasibility will be evaluated in three ways. First, it will be assessed by measuring the proportion of the sample that was successfully retained through study completion and the percentage of treatment sessions attended by study participants. Second, feasibility will be evaluated by examining parents’ adherence to the intervention. This will be determined by comparing parents’ implementation of intervention skills during selected sessions to expected benchmarks determined by the study team before the start of treatment. Third, parents will complete a final evaluation assessing their knowledge of key treatment concepts. As a sub-category of weighted stuffed animals, weighted dinosaurs like the Anxiety Dino specifically cater to a whimsical taste. They carry the same benefits as other weighted stuffed animals, providing comfort through gentle pressure. A Calming Companion: For some kids, the world can feel noisy and confusing. The Weighted Anxiety Dino works like a gentle hug, providing comfort and reassurance. It’s a bit like having a friend who’s there to say, “Everything’s going to be okay.” To meet this need, we developed an integrated treatment called DINO Strategies for Anxiety and intolerance of Uncertainty Reduction (DINOSAUR), a 12-week group telehealth treatment for 4- to 6-year-old children with ASD. DINOSAUR works with young children and their parents to deliver CBT along with interventions targeting IU and parental accommodation. In this paper, we first discuss the rationale for developing this treatment and then describe a pilot study of its feasibility and preliminary efficacy. Conclusions

If you love stuffed animals, this weighted dino is a natural fit for you. Ive always been a stuffed animal fan , so I found snuggling up with this dino to feel natural and comfortable. For something to really be a scam, it needs to create trust. While no one that has anxiety wants to have anxiety, they'll often find that they trust their anxiety in ways that they are unable to control, and usually aren't cognizant of occurring. This can be difficult for people to grasp. The best way to understand it is by looking at something other than emotions. Imagine that your brain chemicals were responsible for your knowledge of math, and after their levels changed you were convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that 1+1=3. In fact, you would swear by it. It doesn't matter how much evidence that other people show you – you know, because of the way your brain works, that 1+1=3. The dinosaur design adds a playful and engaging aspect, which can be particularly appealing to children. For some, the added connection to a favorite creature like a dinosaur may enhance the calming experience.There is a great need to develop anxiety treatments for young children with ASD. We proposed a novel integrated treatment approach that aims to alter the way young children and parents respond to fear, which could potentially improve short- and long-term mental health outcomes for this age group.

Weighted toys are used in some kinds of therapy! This can be useful in some kinds of re-parenting, in which a trauma survivor learns to care for and love the stuffed animal to recover from traumatic experiences in childhood. This can increase happiness and self-esteem in the trauma sufferer, and decrease feelings of self-loathing.Scams work because they take advantage of you. They create trust – misplaced trust – and they create a feeling as though there is a reason for them to be there when there isn't. The following are many different reasons that anxiety itself falls under the definition of "scam:" Anxiety is False Fear I also liked how convenient this stuffed animal is compared to a weighted blanket . While a weighted blanket can provide more of an all-over Deep Pressure Therapy, I sometimes find weighted blankets to be cumbersome and I don’t generally like to sleep under one all night, so I appreciated being able to grab this little guy and cuddle up easily for a cozy, calming experience. Price & Policies After reviewing predictors of differential outcomes of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for pediatric anxiety, we identify and discuss recent evidence for the role of (a) intolerance of uncertainty (IU) and (b) parental accommodation as meaningful targets for personalized intervention.

I wasn’t surprised, primarily because this stuffed animal was designed for children and I am, in fact, a grown adult. It may feel a little heavier to kids, but I would say the weight level for me was less than most of the cats and small dogs that have laid on me before.

Balance

Many families and therapists have seen significant improvements. Kids who were once bothered by everyday sensations can often handle them much better after therapy. They become more comfortable in their surroundings and can focus more easily on schoolwork and friendships.

Outcomes and results: Thematic analysis resulted in three themes emerging: (1) ‘Remembering to Act’ encompassed the participants’ perspectives of Project CHASE as being an intervention that reminded them of the importance of physical activity, and served as a prompt for them to take action; (2) ‘A sharing community’ included the sub themes of ‘sharing success and struggles’ and ‘sharing ideas’; and, (3) ‘Taking control: possibilities and problems’ encapsulates the dichotomy between participants who spoke of embracing and rising to the challenge of taking control, with the parents who spoke of the need for more support, direction, and guidance. It doesn't matter what you believe your purpose is, anxiety affects all of it. It takes away your ability to live a purpose filled life. Anxiety wasn't something you wished for. It was something you contracted, like a disease, that takes away your ability to live that purpose filled life. Another important treatment component of DINOSAUR involves teaching children and parents about relaxation skills. These include sensory-based calming activities, e.g., watching a repetitive image like water dripping, or listening to calming sounds like ocean waves, and structured relaxation strategies to manage anxiety and IU. Parents and children also jointly practice three structured relaxation skills, i.e., diaphragmatic breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and yoga, which are simplified and presented using the dinosaur theme (e.g., children are taught to “roar like a dinosaur” when exhaling during diaphragmatic breathing). Parents are also encouraged to employ these skills to manage their own stress and anxiety.

Stuffed animals can represent a connection to a loved one that has passed, giving us a path through the grieving process and easing the feeling of loss that accompanies the death of someone close to us. You can grieve with a stuffed animal without worrying about judgement of censure, and they offer a constant source of comfort.
