<\/a>
\nThe balance cushion is a new addition at our house. It came recommended by the OT that Mary’s is seeing. So we are giving it a try! This is becoming part of the “Sensory Diet”. Which I will admit is something new for me. I have a few months left to learn a lot in order to take care of the sensory needs.<\/p>\n

\"Balance <\/div>\n

The brand we got has two different sides to it and is called balance cushion<\/a>\"\". Yes, there are 10 colors and I picked black so there would be less fighting over them. Everything we do on the cushions we use both sides of it.<\/p>\n

For the Balance cushion we have been doing different things. Mary likes to sit on them when she is doing work.<\/p>\n

\"Balance <\/div>\n

She does walking across the balance cushions on both sides. This is harder than you think. She often would rather run than walk. We do this as slow as possible.<\/p>\n

\"Balance <\/div>\n

She does running across the Balance Cushions.<\/p>\n

\"Balance <\/div>\n

She does jumping across the balance cushions..<\/p>\n

\"Balance <\/div>\n

She does walking one foot on, one foot off.<\/p>\n

\"Balance <\/div>\n

She does rolling across the balance cushions.<\/p>\n

\"Balance <\/div>\n

Amelia likes to use them to watch TV.<\/p>\n

\"Balance <\/div>\n

Remember to always watch your kids when they have the balance cushions. <\/p>\n
