Meet the manimo family! These weighted animals are recommended for all children, but were designed specifically for children with ADD, ADHD, ASD, anxiety or other disorders.

Four manimo models are available, in several colours. Weighing between 1 and 2.5 kg, they can be used by children ages three and up, with adult supervision.

Soft and pliable, a manimo is placed on the child's most receptive body parts: shoulders, waist, thighs and stomach. We recommend using it for 15-20-minute periods to stimulate rest and/or concentration.

The weighted dolphin is worn draped over the shoulders or hips. Its soft, velvety fabric provides sensory comfort and is as enveloping as your child's favourite “blanky.”

Resource books often provide tips and tricks for managing challenging behaviors, but what happens when those tactics don't work? Most teachers give up. Push Past It! brings a raw, real, and at times funny approach to handling challenging behaviors and understanding why most behavior-management strategies don't work. Author Angela Searcy shares real-world examples, proven solutions, and new approaches to overcoming classroom disruptions using her PUSH PAST IT approach. Beyond behavioral-management strategies, Push Past It! will teach you how to:

• See children's behavior as communication
• Understand what is (and is not) developmentally appropriate behavior
• Identify when to seek support
• Communicate and listen more effectively
• Help children overcome their own challenging behaviors
• Take care of yourself too!
