Parenting a Literal Child
It's not just a matter of symantics - for some kids, everything is literal. In parenting several kids with FAS/FAE, I've found that you have to be very careful with your instructions - because they'll be followed!

Head Float - Small
Note: Review only, product no longer for sale.
Need at least two more hands? Here is the answer!
Does reflex domination make your child nervous in the water? The comfortable head float means there is no need to manually support your child's head - your hands are free! The superbly designed cushioning system lets the head rest in a neutral position with no pressure on the spinal column. This float aid gives a real feeling of weightless freedom and security in the water. Small: Child's weight - 20 to 30 lbs. Float size: 15"L x 12"W x 1.5"T

Play Tip!
The material of these floats is the same density of human skin, making the head float comfortable and non-clammy. This is not a life-jacket but will comfortably keep your child's head increasing feelings of security and fun in the water. Try putting water wings on the ankles for an interesting change of position!

Q: Can my child make the reciprocal (bicycling) motion with their legs while seated upright?
A: Perhaps straps on the pedals are enough to keep the feet on the pedals throughout the entire trip around. If we need more help, then a Journey model provides incredible torso support, and it shifts the angle of the reciprocating leg motion towards that back where many children can handle it better.
