Purrble Companion- Calming Toy with Dynamic Heartbeat and Soothing Purr - Interactive Plush Companion for All Ages - Stuffed Animal Doll for Emotion Regulation - Cuddle and Pet Plushies

One of the best set of tools I learned while working with children was Social Emotional Learning (SEL). Yale uses a system called RULER that, in short, helps recognize emotions, learn vocabulary to describe feelings, and gives children, teachers, educators, and parents the tools to help regulate emotions with all sorts of strategies (I recommend it to anyone and everyone).Although I only just discovered Purrble on Amazon the other day, I bought this under the guise of a being present for my husband because I knew that he'd understand how this little animal would be an asset for me and my anxiety. I retired from the field of education when I was 30 after requiring medical leave for anorexia and during treatment, I was diagnosed with PTSD. I was already being treated for anxiety, but everything I subsequently learned about my trauma-related triggers has helped me to identify situations that could potentially trigger panic or anxiety. Learning about ASD has also helped me observe my physical reactions and emotions in a way that my husband and I can come up with game plans for social situations and every day situations that tend to throw me off, emotionally, such as unexpected changes to my daily schedule. I lost my Emotional Support rabbit a year ago, after almost 12 years, which has been very challenging. This evening, I was feeling very heightened anxiety and decided to unbox our Purrble. I was so relieved to read that the batteries are already installed, so I'd be able to interact with it straightaway. I don't like to read instructions, but rather figure things out intuitively, but I glanced at how to turn it on. It's absolutely precious! This little creature is nothing like my Furbie- this is so soft and the design is genius. I watched the video and placed my order while watching it. I've already soothed it and soothed myself at the same time! I honestly think this is the best invention and best toy not only for neurodivergent people, but I think every family would benefit from a Purrble.

Honestly, I can’t say enough good things about this product. I wanted to share this because it may be helpful to some of our clients/their kiddos!We bought one for our 5-year-old for Christmas and she has used it during meltdowns and sleeps with “Peppermint” every night. Then, our 1.5 year old became very attached to it and we bought one for him too. He takes “Buster” everywhere and sleeps with him every night. When he’s upset, he asks for Buster. It’s a really great tool for the kiddos and it’s proven to be so helpful during stressful times for them. I also love that they each have their own unique fur so we can tell the two apart by their unique spots 💛 super soft, super cute, and definitely worth the money.

The Purrble Companion has been very helpful to the students at my school. It has been very effective in calming/regulating students with a variety of strong emotions. I am amazed at how quickly students can self-calm down by holding it. They love it and want to use it. Some students prefer using it over having my assistance. It is also an excellent way for them to feel pleased about being able to calm down/regulate on their own. I wish it were less expensive so I could purchase another.

I've read many reviews. A lot of them I see on the bad side seem to have expectations that could not be met. That has little to do with the item. It is quiet for a reason, as it is smaller for a reason. These were made mostly for children and made to not be distracting to other kids around them. It is made to be that, and smaller to be able to carry in a backpack at school or places to keep the child safe from bullies. If you faced that in school you know what I'm saying. I am almost sixty and bought one to help me with my phobia of doctors and dentists. I have yet to see how well it works as I am still unable to make those appointments. I was thinking of taking it to all the local therapy places and see if they may be interested in it. It is useful. It's more than a toy.

Received today and fell in love immediately. I’m an older retired lady who lives alone and I really miss having a pet. I’d be okay if I could have a dog or cat to cuddle, but my apartment charges so much more for pet rent and deposits, I can’t afford the extra expenses. I tried a weighted “calming” stuffed dog, but it was just dead weight that really did nothing for me. This little guy verbalizes little cute sounds, has a heartbeat I feel and hear and purrs (with vibration like a cat breathing). Its fur is super soft. It is quite small and firm, and not squishy or floppy, but the life-like physical and emotional response to touch makes all the difference in the world. It seems to be well made and great quality. All my grandkids are going to want one of these. My 7-year-old grandson will be here tomorrow for a sleepover so I’ll need to order another one immediately because I’m sure he’ll want to take this one home with him.

Higher quality than than most stuffies and with the calming features built in it, elevates it above the competition. Customer service is excellent and very responsive if you need to reach out.
