ChewiGem Review – Fashionable Sensory Chewable Jewelry

One of the best outlets I’ve found for children who are constantly mouthing is Chewable Jewelry.  However finding the perfect jewelry option isn’t always easy, so I hope this ChewiGem Review helps you decide on a chewable your child will love. 
As a mom of children with sensory processing issues who are also on the autism spectrum, I’ve been dealing with my kids mouthing objects for a long time.  The collar of the shirt gets chewed on, the toy they were playing with ends up with teeth marks, or the top of a pencil, everything ends up in their mouth!  I remember the day I talked to Aidan’s therapist about the chewing and her handing me a white rubber toothbrush looking chew toy.  My mind immediately went to, “this is a dog toy”  and I honestly never gave it to Aidan or Lilly. 
 

The thing with mouthing and chewing items is that you don’t really realize how much of it is sensory until a child is outgrowing their toddler years.  When a child is two or even three and he puts a toy in his mouth, you assume its part of being a toddler.  However, when a four or five-year-old child, is still putting toys in their mouth you know there’s an issue.  Unfortunately, this is also an age that kids are venturing out, kids are starting preschool or kindergarten, kids are making friends and realizing what is the social norm and what isn’t.  

Why I Choose ChewiGem Chewable Jewelry

As an autism mom, I want to raise my children as mainstream as possible, and to be sending my five-year-old child off to school with a piece of rubber that I could totally mistake for a toy I’d throw at my puppy just didn’t seem right.
 
I recently learned about ChewiGem through this review and I am very excited.  I know as my children progress through school the needs of their sensory processing disorder will become an issue that they will need to self regulate and instead of chewing on clothes, hair, or pencils, having ChewiGem as an option will be a great relief.  The jewelry is fun and funky in design so that no one would guess that it is a therapy item and my kids are excited to wear them, however, they are durable and safe enough that these items are very usable.

  2. I think this was an amazing idea. It's great for sensory issues and I am sure it would help with focus and concentration.

  4. This looks great for those kids or adults with sensory issues that need to chew on things. My daughter was like that when she was little- she's gotten better about it, but her nails and pen caps and straws disappear within minutes of coming near her mouth.

  6. My best friends daughter is Autistic and the school uses a gummy type of worm to help keep her hands busy. I will have to show her this i like that it can go around the neck.

  8. This is a really great idea. Any time you can reduce the social stigma of something like this (and unfortunately there is), it's a great thing. They look good, too. Not like a dog chewy at all.

  11. I love this so much. If a loved one has this issue, these are a great way to address it without making it such an overt thing. I know that shouldn't matter, but sometimes it does. =(

  13. This is such a great idea for children with special sensory needs. I love that they are able to self soothe in a healthy way.

  14. This is a great product. My son has since out grown this a little bit but when he was younger…man what I wouldn't have done for this!

  17. What a fantastic idea! So much better than trying to keep up with a chewing aid that isn't attached to something and very discreet, great product!

  20. I have something similar for my baby to chew on when chewing. What a great idea for the kids that just need something. I have known many kids with sensory disorders and these would be great.

  22. That is nice that they will have a great option to chewing other things. I haven't heard of it until now!

  24. Such great products for the kids who need them. Glad there is something for everyone.

  27. These are interesting. I had no idea something like this existed. I am going to pass this along because I have a few mom friends who have children who could benefit.

  29. This is a genius idea! I also like that it comes in cool shapes, like a skull, so others may not realize what it is.

  35. What an awesome idea! I have a friend who has a son that would greatly benefit from this…I'm sharing this with her!

  36. This is a pretty awesome idea. I know that a few of my friends have had a horrible time with breaking their kids from sucking their thumb. This would probably be helpful.
