The moment children enter a crisis like a tantrum, in stress, crying, or anger, usually words and hugs don't work, it's that moment when the bottle of calm comes in to do its main function which is: RELAXING OR EASING THE CHILD. In these times of crisis, children's breathing speeds up and their heart rate changes, causing an emotional blockage in children.

When the child shakes the bottle, the tensions are released and the movement produced by the mixture of these different ingredients (water, glue, dye, shampoo, frost) causes in the child a feeling of peace, making him forget the negative feelings and thoughts.

The best thing about this technique is that it is very easy to prepare, so it can be done at home with the children.
