Charlie The Weighted Puppy Dog

Emotional security designed for littlies. Charlie is a soft, and weighted puppy dog that is perfect for all children including our sensory and anxious friends. Backed by evidence-based research, Charlie helps with reducing anxiety and improving sleep quality. Backed by evidence-based research, Charlie the weighted puppy dog focuses on Deep Pressure Touch Stimulation (DPTS), which is a firm tactile sensory input that provides a Proprioceptive* response to the body. It simulates firm hugs and compression and motivates the release of serotonin and dopamine in the brain. This helps children to regulate their emotions when going to sleep or when they are feeling emotionally overwhelmed. Beautifully designed and super soft, Charlie is infused with dried French lavender flowers for relaxation and medical stone which is a natural silicate mineral, making him perfect for all our gluten free friends! Charlie is the perfect toy for our littlies to snuggle with.

About Mindful & Co Kids: Born in Australia in 2019, Mindful & Co Kids was founded by psychotherapist Jacqueline Yeats, whose work focuses on using mindfulness as an early intervention for stress disorders. Inspired by her research, Jacqueline designed a collection of engaging games, activities, weighted plushies and wellness tools to help children experience the benefits of mindfulness and yoga in fun, practical ways. Our mission is simple: to empower the next generation to slow down, shift limiting beliefs, and embrace thoughtful living through a holistic approach to well-being. We believe introducing mindfulness early creates a ripple effect, strengthening family bonds, fostering focus and engagement in learning, and helping children grow into happier, more confident, and emotionally resilient individuals.
