Coping tools are essential life skills for navigating life's ups and downs, but not everyone learns them growing up. And that's totally okay!

Lakunakai has created some supportive little buddies to help you quickly get the hang of these skills, so you can better support yourself and your family!

Hospitals can be intimidating, and there's a good reason for that. They often contribute to trauma, making it crucial for us to learn how to recover.

That's where Lakunakai's buddies come in - they're thoughtfully designed to support the nervous system, catering not only to children but also to their parents!

These companions are like having a friend in hospital, helping specialists explain what's coming next. In non-emergency situations, where child life specialists might not be immediately available, it allows parents the opportunity to work through big experiences with their child(ren) so you can navigate those experiences together.

As Lakunakai says, "never do another scan or needle procedure alone!"

All buddies are designed with a specific purpose. You can use them simply because they are all designed for hospital use for which is your favorite or, you can use them for their symbolic meanings helping to process trauma or an overstimulated nervous system.
