Oppositional behavior in children and teens can be caused by stress as a coping mechanism when they feel overwhelmed or unable to express their emotions effectively. This may manifest in various ways , such as frequent tantrums or outbursts, defiance, refusal to follow rules or instructions, heightened irritability, and even withdrawal from social interactions. BLAST® can help reduce stress, restoring a sense of calm, potentially reducing the severity and frequency of oppositional behaviors. 

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). 

When using BLAST® consistently in stressful circumstances, 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 contribute toward oppositional behavior.
