Kaydence, 7 years old, MO

Wish submitted by:

Kaydence is a bright and talented young girl with a beautiful voice that fills the room when she sings. She loves to explore and discover new things, but her shyness sometimes makes it difficult for her to connect with new people. It takes her a little time to feel comfortable, but when she does, her warm and enthusiastic personality shines through. Kaydence faces some sensory challenges that can make play difficult, but she tackles them with courage. With the loving support of her relative caregiver, who provides a safe and healthy home, Kaydence is learning to embrace new experiences. As she continues to grow, her future is filled with possibilities.

Kaydence really struggles with sensory issues when she is in contact with water, especially when it comes to getting it on her face or in her ears. This makes bath time quite a challenging and stressful experience for her. To help her have a better time during baths and hair washing, her caregiver is looking for ways to make it more enjoyable. One idea they came up with is to use a hair washing mat. This would let Kaydence lie down comfortably while getting her hair washed, which could make the whole experience feel less daunting. Plus, the mat would help control where the water goes, reducing the chances of it getting in her face or ears and causing her distress.
