* What is Webe Kalm?
Webe Kalm is a sensory tool designed to help children and adults achieve a state of calm through slow exhalation, visual focus, and auditory regulation (white noise). It's essentially a device created by doctors and parents to assist in managing stress, anxiety, tantrums, and other challenging moments.
The tool aims to teach users how to self-regulate and calm down effectively rather than just telling them to "relax" or "breathe." It's like having training wheels for emotional regulation, providing feedback and support to help users learn how to calm themselves.
