Our Chewable Necklaces are an important tool for children over the age of two that are still showing oral sensory seeking behaviours (such as putting everything in their mouth, licking random surfaces, chewing on their sleeves or collar, sucking their thumb or chewing on their nails). These behaviours are a sign that they may be Autistic, have a Sensory Processing issue, a developmental delay, be lacking another strategy to help themselves calm down if tired or upset, or be in sensory overload.

The reason they are trying to regulate themselves this way is because the mouth is the strongest regulator to help someone concentrate and organise their thoughts. Have you noticed that a hot cup of tea is relaxing and a cold drink of water wakes you up?

Oral sensory seeking behaviour is normal in babies and infants and is used to self-sooth, self-regulate, and then to explore their world by putting everything into their mouth which helps their sensory motor development and also learn about each object. However oral sensory seeking in older toddlers and children can become a problem if:

• the child is putting other people's objects in their mouth that have been found at school, in public or around the house (from a germs point of view)
• if the child is destroying their clothing or other items from excessive biting or sucking
• if the child is causing pain or infection around their fingernails
• if the child is experiencing bullying due to one of the above problems making them stand out, and therefore may start to experience low self-esteem

Our Chewable Pendants offer a much safer and more socially appropriate option. They could be super helpful for your child and your family!

Please note: Not all chewable necklace pendants are designed for very hard / strong biting. We have found that the 'Puzzle Piece' pendant is the best option for children that are avid chewers and require a lot more oral sensory input than others as it is re much thicker and more durable.
