Safety products are getting cooler

At the end of a highly unusual year, holiday shoppers are already showing signs that they aren’t looking for the same gifts they were in years past. It’s been a year for reflection packed with changing circumstances and for all of us some kind of hardship.

Black Friday is all but canceled, Cyber Monday has been spread out over a multi week period and that’s not even the biggest change in holiday shopping. This year parent shoppers are looking for gifts for their kids that will address the new normal that started in 2020.

There’s good news! Products that help reduce child anxiety, foster family communication and create safer environments for kids to roam are all incredibly fun. We have looked for and wide for the most groundbreaking products that make for awesome gifts and specifically help with one or more issues that have afflicted families this year.

Here we go!

1. Mightier: A video game that helps reduce stress!

Clinically tested and developed at Harvard Medical School and Boston Children’s Hospital, Mightier is a video game that teaches emotional regulation. The game system comes with a heart rate monitor that goes on the user’s arm while they play a variety of fun games.

As heart rate increases with the excitement of the game, the game gets progressively harder. To play the game longer and get further in games, players have to learn to control their excitement, remain calm and lower their heart rate.

70% of families reported decreased behavioral issues after playing just 1 hour a week! The membership based service can be purchased for as low as $28/month when you buy 1 full year.

2. Kindle Kids: For avid young readers!
