More support, TOUCH, needed in my opinion. Feeling SAFE first. When arms and legs go skyward, it shows great insecurity. How about acculating to vest on deck, rolling on soft floor with vest on before showing pool skills. La Petite Baleen.

Yes that's correct. We maybe could have put in a text box. We were trying to show how uncomfortable it can be. One of our roadblocks is Interpreting touch. In our ONLINE training we offer multiple strategies for touch. He has been in the lifejacket multiple times land, water, lake and pool. We often wear pajamas and when he has those on he is very comfortable bc it helps ground him. Thank you so much I think we could have shown him in the Pjs and not in them. We are hoping people will get thier child comfortable and thank you again! Visit our homepage for 5 free online training videos
