  • Why use Platinum Silicone?
    Non-Toxic and Safe: Platinum silicone is a high-quality, food-grade silicone. It's free from BPA, latex, lead, and phthalates, which are harmful chemicals often found in plastics. This makes it the safest option for children, especially when used for eating utensils. Durability: Platinum silicone is more durable and resilient compared to other types of silicone. It resists tearing and maintains its shape and texture over time, even with regular use and cleaning. This durability means utensils will last longer, reducing the need for frequent replacements. Heat Resistance: It can withstand high temperatures without degrading or releasing harmful substances. This is particularly important for utensils that might be used to feed children warm foods or that need to be sterilized regularly. Chemical Stability: Platinum-cured silicone is chemically stable. It won't react with food or beverages, or produce any hazardous fumes, even when exposed to extreme temperatures, ensuring the safety of the child using it. Easy to Clean: It's non-porous and resists bacterial growth, making it more hygienic. It's also easy to clean, either by hand or in a dishwasher, and doesn’t retain odors or flavors from previous meals. Soft and Gentle: The material is soft and flexible, which is gentle on a baby’s developing teeth and gums. This is important for utensils like spoons, which come into direct contact with these sensitive areas. Environmentally Friendly: Platinum silicone is a more eco-friendly option compared to plastics. It's long-lasting and less likely to end up in landfills, and it doesn’t leach chemicals into the environment.
  • What is proprioceptive feedback? Why is it important for my child?
    Proprioceptive feedback, often referred to as proprioception, is a sensory experience that involves the awareness of the body's position and movement in space. It's one of the key sensory systems that help us understand where our limbs are and how they're moving, even without looking at them. This sense is crucial in developing motor skills and coordination. In the context of kids learning to use utensils, proprioceptive feedback plays a significant role: Motor Skill Development: For young children, learning to use utensils is not just about eating but also about developing fine motor skills. Proprioception helps them understand how tightly they need to grip the spoon or fork and how to move it from the plate to their mouth without spilling. Spatial Awareness: It aids in developing spatial awareness. Children learn to judge distances (like how far their mouth is from their hand) and navigate their utensils accordingly, which is essential for feeding themselves efficiently and effectively. Hand-Eye Coordination: Proprioceptive feedback is integral to hand-eye coordination. As children use utensils, they learn to coordinate what they see with how they move their hands and arms, a skill that's essential not just for eating but for a wide range of activities. Independence and Confidence: As children become more adept at using utensils through proprioceptive learning, they gain independence in feeding themselves. This autonomy is a significant milestone in their development and boosts their self-confidence and sense of accomplishment. Sensory Integration: Using utensils effectively involves integrating multiple sensory inputs – touch, sight, and proprioception. This multisensory integration is vital for overall sensory processing and development. Safety and Precision: Proper proprioception helps children learn how to use utensils safely, avoiding too much force that could lead to spills, messes, or even injury. It also enables them to be more precise in their movements. In summary, proprioceptive feedback is essential in teaching children how to use utensils as it fosters motor skill development, spatial awareness, hand-eye coordination, independence, sensory integration, and safe and precise movements. These skills are foundational not only for self-feeding but for many other activities they will encounter as they grow.
