Sereni Weighted Calming Vest

No, they don’t need to wear it all day, and actually, it works best in short sessions. It's recommended for use at home 20–30 minutes at a time, up to an hour total each day.

Using it in the morning before school can help your child feel more calm and focused throughout the day. Some parents also use it after school to help their child calm down or even when their medication starts to wear off.

The idea is that short sessions help to regulate the nervous system helping them manage their emotions. Using it for more than 1 hour a day could cause them to be too reliant on it.

The Sereni Calming Vest uses Deep Pressure Therapy (DPT) to provide a calming and grounding effect for children.

DPT works by applying gentle, consistent pressure to the body—similar to the sensation of a firm hug—which helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system. This can promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve focus.

The vest is designed to be comfortable and easy to use, featuring adjustable Velcro straps and breathable mesh materials for a snug yet cozy fit.

Many parents find that incorporating the vest into their child’s routine helps reduce meltdowns, improve attention, and manage challenging behaviors more effectively.

It’s a simple, effective tool to support your child’s emotional well-being and provide a sense of calm when they need it most.

Before I answer that, let me ask you: how much easier would your day be if your child felt calmer, more focused, and better able to handle challenges without meltdowns or arguments?

If the answer is “a lot,” then you already know the Sereni Calming Vest can make a big difference.

It’s designed to be simple and easy to use, with short 20–30 minute sessions that fit into your daily routine.

Here's how you're going to get your child used to it without any fuss. First let them hold it and get familiar with the vest's texture. Once they're used to it, you can put it on. Start with no weights and slowly add them in as they are comfortable. Don't force them as this will only make them resist more!

Even if your child is hesitant at first, most kids love the hugging feeling. And you’ll save countless hours of frustration in the long run by having a proven tool that helps your child feel more regulated.

The vest is designed to be worn in short sessions of 20 to 30 minutes at a time, with a maximum of one hour a day.

It’s most effective when used as part of a daily routine—many parents use it in the morning to help their child feel calm and focused before school or in the afternoon to wind down after a busy day.

Using it for more than an hour a day isn’t recommended, as the goal is to regulate the nervous system without creating over-reliance on the vest.

The Sereni Calming Vest is designed with adjustable weight pockets and velcro straps for compression, allowing you to adjust both the weights and compression.

When it comes to sizing, it’s always better to size up rather than size down if you’re unsure. A slightly larger size ensures your child has room to grow and still allows for a snug fit using the adjustable straps.

If you’re in doubt, refer to the sizing guide to find the best match based on your child’s measurements.

The Sereni Calming Vest isn’t just for children with ADHD. Deep Pressure Therapy, which the vest uses, is a proven approach that benefits children with a variety of challenges, including Autism, Anxiety, Sensory Processing Disorders, and more.

By applying gentle, consistent pressure, the vest helps calm the nervous system, reduce overstimulation, and promote relaxation—making it an effective tool for a wide range of needs.

Every child is different, which is why the vest is designed to be adjustable and customizable, so you can adapt it to your child’s specific preferences and challenges. Whether they’re dealing with meltdowns, sensory overload, or general stress, the vest can provide much-needed comfort and support.

If you’re unsure, give the vest a try and see how it works for your child—you can test it risk-free and experience the benefits firsthand.

We understand how disheartening it can be to feel like nothing is working.

Most solutions focus solely on behavior—trying to manage or change how your child reacts in the moment. What sets the Sereni Calming Vest apart is that it addresses the underlying physiology, not just the behavior.

The vest uses Deep Pressure Therapy, a research-backed approach that helps calm the nervous system by reducing overstimulation and promoting relaxation. It works on a deeper level to help your child feel more regulated, making it easier for them to cope with challenges.

Unlike many solutions, the vest is easy to integrate into your child’s routine and doesn’t require complicated steps or techniques. It’s designed to provide consistent, calming support without adding stress to your day.

Even if other methods haven’t worked, this approach focuses on helping your child feel better from the inside out, giving them the foundation they need to thrive.

And to make sure you’re confident in your decision, we offer a completely risk-free trial, so you can see how it works for your child with peace of mind.
