Thesis Statement

We created a tool for both parents and children to use during a time of stress. This is designed to function as a helpful way to regulate your breathing. It is formed as a flower, representing the movement of inhaling and exhaling, just like a flower blooming. When you breathe in, the flower blooms, and when you breathe out, the flower goes back into its bud. This is a way to show the child how to facilitate self-regulation, along with being a reward of showing personal growth within the child (an addition of toys/stickers/etc.)

Thesis Statement

We are designing around the needs of younger students in a classroom setting. Our device needs to be comfortable while not being claustrophobic and to provide comfort and a grounding in reality during a panic attack. This device needs to be easily and quickly deployed by an adult. During the moment of deployment, it needs to be both unobtrusive and comforting, while being easily received.
