Sensory chewies and fidgets for Aiden to work through his anxiety
Aiden, 12 years old
Wish submitted by:
Woodfords Family ServicesAiden is a young man with a passion for LEGOS, cooking, and exploring the outdoors. He enjoys discovering his new community, but he often finds large crowds overwhelming, preferring one-on-one interactions with his peers. Recently, he joined the Scouts, where he is enthusiastically learning wilderness first aid, an activity that resonates with his love for nature. Additionally, Aiden has taken a step towards fitness by joining the local gym and is currently searching for a dojo that offers small group classes, where he can begin his journey in Karate. Through these activities, Aiden is cultivating his interests while finding ways to connect with others in a comfortable environment.
Aiden's foster placement recently ended, and he has been admitted to a residential facility. He is struggling with this transition and could benefit from some tools to help him calm down. One method he uses to self-regulate is chewing on objects and fidgeting. He would love to shop for calming tools whenever he needs them.
