Each individual, whether or not they have a sensory processing disorder, has different coping mechanisms and strategies that work for them to calm down when they are overwhelmed and stressed. Overwhelmed children can shake, squeeze, see, and touch the Calm Down Jar, letting the sight of floating glitter soothe them. The Calm Down Jar is a powerful anxiety management tool for many. The falling glitter reminds your overwhelmed child that no feeling lasts forever, and that they have the power to lower their own stress levels. It's self-regulation, in a bottle.
