Many children love using Pranamat ECO. If your child uses Pranamat ECO, they should have adult supervision at all times, since the petals are sharp. A child’s skin is particularly sensitive, so we suggest placing a linen cloth or cotton t-shirt between the mat and body and limiting the session to 10-15 minutes. We get feedback from parents explaining that they allow their child to gently touch the lotus flowers with their fingertips to develop motor skills. Some parents also encourage their kids to gently press their feet onto the mat, from a sitting position.
