Spontaneous panic attacks often affect children at night when the brain can not shut off. Thera-Pals help young kids calm down from these spontaneous panic attacks. Counsel the Comfort Cow has a basket with five plush pancakes. Children can breathe slowly, feel the textures, smell lavender, squeeze and let go, or cuddle with each embroidered pancake. This product teaches independence and useful coping strategies for panic attacks without relying on parental assistance consistently.
