We've been there: you look away for a second, and your child is picking a thread, a pimple or a scuff on the wall. The need to pick can be an intense, unregulated sensory loop! The Picky Pad is your positive redirection station. It allows them to satisfy the urge to pick and scratch in a structured way that saves their skin, your furniture, and your sanity.
