PESSIMISTIC THINKING (KIDS)
Stress can make it hard to think positively and transform even the most cheerful child into a "Negative Nelly" every now and again. Struggling to break free of this negative thinking may look like complaining, sulking, or resisting activities they usually enjoy. If you have a Negative Nelly on your hands, use BLAST® and see if those negative thoughts can change into more reasonable or positive thinking. You can't force positive thinking on your child, so meet them where they are at in their thinking and see if it changes.
How blast® works for PESSIMISTIC THINKING (KIDS)
BLAST® INTERVENES
TouchPoint Solution’s wearable devices are embedded with patented BLAST® (bi-lateral alternating stimulation tactile) technology. BLAST® is scientifically proven to alter the body’s “fight or flight” response caused by stress. The wearables emit alternating vibrations that disengage your standard stress response (sympathetic nervous system), and shift you into the calm, logical side of your brain (parasympathetic nervous system).

CHANGE OCCURS
When using BLAST® consistently when stressed, overtime you may not need them in certain situations as they become less stressful because of BLAST®. One of the ways BLAST® works is by creating new neural pathways that help modify the memories that trigger our stress response. With continued use of BLAST®, these new neural pathways can build overtime, progressively reducing the release of stress related hormones that can lead to negative thinking.

it helps her feel more in control of her stress and anxiety
"We have multiple special needs children including kids with autism and ADHD, and we were so blessed to receive scholarships! When we got the sets of Touch Points, the older child began using them every day, multiple times a day! She said she feels calm when she is using it, and her stress levels are high, so twenty minutes of real calm multiples times a day is an incredible beginning! As the weeks have progressed, she has decided she likes to wear them on her shoulders best. She uses them first thing in the mornings and last thing at night and often interspersed through the day. These Touch Points really are helping her! Morning meltdowns used to be a daily thing upon waking up. But since Touch Points came, she is having quiet mornings. And she seems to be waking less in the night too. What I really love is that she decides when she needs them, and I think it helps her feel more in control of her stress and anxiety. Another of our children at first borrowed the Touch Points and said he feels so calm when he has them on and that he gets a break from worrying. When his set came, he decided he liked to wear them on his ankles. He used them often throughout the day, and when a panic attack comes on, within just a few minutes, his breathing is calmed and the panic is visibly dissipating. Once the full twenty minutes has gone by, he is often asleep, and I just turn them off and let him rest. It is remarkable that such small devices can make such big differences! Our family is incredibly grateful for the gifts of these Touch Points. If anyone is on the fence trying to decide if its worth trying, let me assure you that it is! Touch Points have been a God send and a real blessing! Thank you, Touch Points!"
