Because you're never too old for a really good hug.
Our Weighted Sloth is designed with older children and teens in mind — a soft, comforting companion for those moments when life feels a bit too much.
Teenage life can be full-on. Exams, friendships, school, expectations, social media and an increasingly busy brain can all add to feelings of stress and overwhelm.
That's where your sloth comes in.
With its comforting weight and long arms made for wrapping around you, it provides gentle, grounding sensory input that can help the body slow down and settle.
Why teens love their Weighted SlothSometimes you don't want to talk.
Sometimes you don't need someone to fix it.
Sometimes you just need to feel comfortable and have a moment to yourself.
Your Weighted Sloth can be there while you're:
Keeping your Weighted Sloth on your lap or wrapped around you while studying can provide calming sensory input and give restless hands and bodies something comforting to settle into.
For some young people, that feeling of being more grounded can make it easier to settle into homework, revision or reading.
Part of your Emotional ToolboxWe talk a lot at The Resilient Kid about having an Emotional Toolbox — different things you can reach for depending on what your brain and body need.
Your Weighted Sloth can be one of them.
No complicated technique. No big conversation.
Just pick up your sloth, get comfortable and give yourself a few minutes to reset.
Slow down. Get cosy. Reset. 🦥
