designer's own words:

My research was from first hand experience with my little sister. I noticed situations during family breakdown which are particularly difficult and designed a series of wearable to help ease the anxieties. As children are usually left with their mother as the primary caregiver, the father's house can often be an unfamiliar environment and the child can struggle with loyalty issues, the bracelets and necklace help ease the tensions felt by the child. Also, when the child is handed from one parent to the other can be a very difficult situation. The headband can help the child communicate when they are feeling uncomfortable non-verbally, so it can be especially useful for children with speech or confidence issues.
