Yelling, Hitting, or Hiding (kids)

Yelling, hitting, or biting can happen when a child’s fight, flight, or freeze response is activated. During these times, children may have trouble using words to express themselves. Using BLAST® can help calm the nervous system and support a more relaxed state, making it easier for children to manage their reactions.

How blast® works for Yelling, Hitting, or Hiding (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 to manage aggressive behavior, 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 cause aggressive behavior.
