A brand new inclusive indoor centre has opened in West Lothian that aims to provide all children with a nurturing space to play - especially those with additional support needs. When it comes to cuddling, there’s one thing many of us do with various friends and family in addition to our partners each day. Hugs — which have been shown to reduce our stress hormones — are gateway cuddles. However, some children are more hesitant when using the Hug - these children may have challenges processing and modulating vestibular, proprioceptive, and/or tactile input. These children may refuse to climb into the Hug, may not know how to climb in or use the Hug, etc. Here is a child who is struggling with sustained attention to a task - specifically a sit-down task that requires focus for five + minutes. This child is unable to maintain attention to complete the task, is fidgeting constantly, is getting up and moving around the room, and/or is too distracted by surrounding noises and visual stimuli. This child may benefit from incorporating the Hug into the sit-down task or using it before the task to help organize their sensory system to prepare to focus!We also communicate through touch, with a study showing that strong emotions like fear, happiness, or sadness could be felt and understood through touch. It’s not only about empathy, cuddling is a two-way emotional street. A study determined that stress is reduced in both partners when one is comforting the other. So, whether you’re being held or doing the holding, cuddling can cut down on your anxiety. Sometimes a cuddle starts with a hug,” says Bronstein. “And then it feels so good that you just lay down.” At our location by the beautiful River Nene at Oundle Wharf, Northamptonshire we have canoes, kayaks and inflatables and SUPs available for hire. We have a wide range of boats to suit different ages and levels of ability, from open 4-man canoes suitable for families to single kayaks for individuals. When we think about proprioceptive movement, we can also include heavy work - any movement that works the muscles, deep pressure - any input that provides pressure to our body, and vibration. Proprioceptive input is typically calming to the nervous system.
