When we first showed Katelyn the net swing, she was afraid of it and wanted nothing to do with it. Then a few days later, she asked for it out of the blue. We quickly hooked it up, not wanting to miss the golden opportunity to have her try it out. Just like I had expected, once she tried it, she loved it!!! Now she requests the net swing even more than her "baby swing" (that is what she calls the toddler swing).
The net swing is perfect for her because she can either sit up or lie down in it like a hammock. She also loves to snuggle with Giraffe while relaxing in the net swing. It seems to calm her down, which is a huge plus because she has been extra "stimmy" lately. Now when she feels the need to swing, she will go and grab either the net swing or the "baby swing" and drag it over. It is so nice to be able to provide her with one of her favorite activities while also serving her sensory needs.
Here are some pictures of Katelyn and Giraffe enjoying the net swing:
