Guest guest Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 That is awesome!!! Please keep me posted...my son just turned 9 and have been considering getting him one. He likes to hide under tables, chairs, in a sleeping bag, etc. I was hoping this might help him feel more comfortable!! Can't wait to hear how it keeps going.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 I've always thought this could work for my son but I never think about it at the right time. I bet he'd be able to focus better during his homework time, too. Thanks for the reminder!

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 If you go to www.weightedvest.com, you'll see the one we bought. If I had the extra time I could probably have made one myself for a much cheaper price, though! > > > From: ashley <adramash@...> > Subject: ( ) weighted vest success > > Date: Wednesday, December 8, 2010, 3:03 PM > > > Â > > > > I just wanted to let others in on what happened to us today.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 No problem , I want to tell you that I was cautioned about overuse though, that it would become less effective if used too much. My son felt so good about his accomplishment today that he wanted to keep the vest on. I explained to him that we would only be using it during math for that reason.
