Subscribe so you don't miss any ADHD parenting tips from the Raising an ADHD Child series! I will be posting a video on ADHD parenting every few weeks. Let's work together at building better relationships with our exceptional and strong-willed children.
In this video, my son and I review our experience with the RE-VIBE Anti-distraction wristwear. RE-VIBE creators at Fokuslabs sent us the device in exchange for our honest and unbiased review. As you all know, I would never recommend something that had not worked for us personally. Before accepting the device, I made it clear to Fokuslabs that I would simply return the device and not post a review if we didn't see any benefit. But, you guys, we saw SO MUCH benefit! Watch the video to see what I mean.

What a wonderful little man you have! This sounds like a useful tool. I have to remind my daughter to focus quite often, and I see her feelings being hurt a little every time no matter how gentle I try to be.
That’s exactly how my son felt. This has cut my nagging - gentle or not -down by more than half! We think he’s wonderful as well! Thank you!
The website doesn’t sell the bracelets. Just gives the info on them. 😢
Thanks for mentioning this. I think they're actually developing a new style of ADHD watch now, and it's still in the R&D stage.
Omg he is soooo cute I always wondered how he looks like
“Everyone is a good person unless they steal from a bank.”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love him!!! 💗💗💗💗💗💗
Showed him this comment and he wants me to tell you that he loves you right back!
This was the best video, my son and I have been struggling with the same, thank you for the honest review. I’m going to order one. This video made up my mind. Thank you so much.
My son still enjoys ours. We’re currently trying out the new model and it’s very interesting to see his progress in the app.
Thanks for the recommendation! I loved your son’s perspective- he is adorable!
Thanks!
Adorable...and adorable mommy too...you embrace him ❤
This comment meant so much to me. Thank you!
The end!
Lol! He’s so funny.
Thank you, I will look into this! But most of all I love your son, he is just so sweet ♥️
Thanks, my friend! G still enjoys this watch - and I find it very useful for math lessons in particular, lol.
Your son is so adorable! My son is 5, and I may look into this revibe now. Thank you!
He is adorable and smart! My only concern is the open label of ADHD. I’m not criticizing and certainly do not know what would be best. I feel like kids may identify with the label more than what is greater, which is their own unique gifts.
I understand your point, my friend! It takes conscious effort to boost the positives of ADHD or any label. But labels are defined by those who speak of them. I choose to empower the label - not accept the lay definition, which is rather limited and inaccurate. We have presented it from a more medical perspective, so we can openly discuss his brain development and remove some of the shame kids may feel from the awareness of their differences. Because whether you label or not, they are acutely aware that they are not the same as their peers. As a 2e kid, he’s even more aware than most. I emphasize the beautiful advantages of his difference in cognition as well - like his brilliant creativity, his easy mindfulness, his swift empathy, and his gregarious spirit. We can empower these labels - we needn’t hide them. It is a physiological difference that produces real world challenges and advantages. By letting him know what is happening in his brain, by letting his coaches know, and, later, perhaps even peers, we can build a scaffold of understanding, support, and amazement around him. He calls himself a superkid! We need to destigmatize these labels and make them matter-of-fact and three dimensional. 🙂
This may work best for you! Do what works for your family. I know a friend of mine used the bracelet and she found a lot of positives with it. Wishing you the best! I think I read too where the condition gets better as the child gets older.
Living Tree or it gets worse.
I was unaware I had ADHD until I was an adult. In fact, it wasn’t until after I became a mom that it became a serious issue in my life, with so many balls in the air to juggle. Then once we started homeschooling, ay yi yi!
But I have learned so much about my brain and how us “shinies” are special and being ADHD, while definitely a serious challenge, can also have some wonderful positives. For example, ADHD people can be some of the most creative people around! I am proud of my different brain now.
And I know now that the key to living with ADHD is to learn how to work WITH our differently wired brains, not against them. And that starts with identifying that we have ADHD.
No one would tell a person with epilepsy or autism to not label themselves. They need to know about what they are dealing with so that they can properly handle their disorder. Likewise, a person with ADHD needs to know, and yes, label their disorder. Otherwise we end up just feeling like we are stupid or failures because we cannot do things the way neurotypical people do things. But the reality is that we CAN’T do things the same because our brains are wired differently. And we get help a lot sooner when we identify who we truly are.
End the stigma around the label by using it! I have ADHD and just started medical school. With the label, I can get accommodations to help me learn at my best :)
Gosh what a sweet boy. He reminds me so much of my oldest daughter ❤
He is beautiful!!!
Hi.... Has anyone been able to get their insurance company to cover the cost of the band? My insurance company keeps denying it because they need a “CPT Code,” but I have left messages and emails to the company, and no one is responding back. *Does anyone have a CPT code????
I'm so sorry that you were having this difficulty - I would email the company again and try calling. I know that they were very busy as they rolled over to the new model.
Such a sweet and funny boy! Great informational video! And I loved how it ended, “everyone is a good person unless they steal from a bank”!
Isn’t he funny? 😂
Your son is so adorable and handsome. God bless him and you for helping us with so many tips and great information.
So nice of you to chime in with kindness!
Hi i like so many others have found you seemly at the right time! We are very interested in buying this Re-vibe but it seems they do not post to France could you point us in the right direction about how to obtain this please.Kind regards
I would email the company and see whether they have plans for international shipping. 🙂
@@ProjectHappyHome Hi and thankyou for taking the time to reply.We have emailed and tried to contact them with no reply from them.Its a very long time since we felt a product might help our son.It really is a up and down journey......

I bought this years ago but my child disliked the feel of a bracelet plus he was very young and the cost made me paranoid of him losing it at school. he is 10 now and we've been brainstorming on how to help him again and I remembered I had this bracelet somewhere and I found it in a drawer. I'm a little less concerned about the cost now since it sat in a drawer for years without it doing us much good so I came online to look for instructions for it to remind myself. thanks for the video. fingers crossed it helps us now.
This model really helps my son focus, even today. The app version wasn’t necessary for us as we homeschool.
Sounds like a really neat product. Your son is soooo cute! Thanks for the review.
I’m glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Oh my gravy! I need to get one of these for my G.
It’s been such a life-changer here. Truly, I’m a bit weirded out by it. 😂
22 year old here that just got diagnosed with adhd. thinking of buying this for myself for college!
It works really well for my son!
Love ur videos.. ur son is like super duper awesomematic.. only u if u say about his condition anyone would know it.. very happy to see u both..
He is pretty awesome, I agree. 🤗 Thanks for the sweet comment!
@@ProjectHappyHome awesome. When I come to NC i would be happy to meet you guys in person. My son is small. Turning 4 this month.
I want one for myself!! LOL!!! OMG I love G so much. He's so wise :) I think my James would really like this!
Aw, thanks! It’s amazing how much autonomy this little device has given him during his seatwork. When James is a bit older, I bet it would help him refocus his attention during homework.
What a great kid! I really like him and I’m so glad this is working for you!!
Thanks for the review. I am sending my ReVibe Connect back for so many reasons. 1) The cost is WAY too high for what is provided. 2) The battery is very weak and short-lived given the functionality they are trying to provide with the watch. 3) There are so many other watches that do (close to) what the Revibe does and so much more. I have researched a watch that has 'just enough' functionality to help but not distract my ADHD son and have not found the perfect option. However, before I spend $200 on this watch the company has many things (previously mentioned are a few) that need to be addressed.
We’re still working out whether we benefit from the updated ReVibe. The original provided so much benefit for us! Thanks for sharing your honest experience!
Found it! We find the same thing, if someone/something else is giving our kids the reset, it takes the pressure off our relationship.
Great! My son is getting a lot out of the new tap-back version. Stay tuned for a review on the new model in a few months.
Wow Tanya really thanks for this video
You’re welcome!
He is sooooo cute!! I got the watchminder3 (111$) for our son but the charger is awful and customer service sucks so I'm gonna try this one
Good luck! I hope it works for your son!
My son benefits from chair cube. It is unbelievable!
Cool! I hadn’t heard of that before. Maybe my littlest would like it.
Would it be recommended to have the child wear it at school all day? Wish it came with an app so that the parent can turn it on/off throughout the day even when they are not nearby.
He is adorable!! I found the video!! Lol I just asked a question on your latest video. 😊
You have such an amazing young boy 💙
Thank you! We think so, too!
My ADHD son has a habit of breaking things if I buy this he will break it
It’s pretty solid, so I don’t think that’s a big concern.
Hi Tanya, this is the first time im commenting on any of your video, but im watching you since 15 days because recently we found that our son has ADHD. Thank you for your honest and encouraging videos. They are really helpful. I wanted to buy this revibe. But the link in your description is not working. There is another website but it is not the same one that you showed in your video. Kindly share it again here. Thanks
It’s revibetech.com. Hope that helps!
they aren't supplying to India.... Any help?
I’m sorry! Maybe as the company grows they will begin to offer international shipping. In the meantime, maybe a timer watch or even a phone timer could be helpful?
I just ordered one.... my 8 year old son was diagnosed with ADHD-inattentive type. Is it still working out for you guys?
Yes! Unfortunately, my son lost the new model, so we’ve gone back to this one for the time being. He finds that it really helps him work independently.
What natural supplements do you have your son on? Also, I cant find the coupon code?
If there isn’t a code in the description, it may be within the video itself. However, based on the age of this video, I expect the code has long since expired. As for natural supplements, I go into detail about those in another video - you should be able to find it in the ADHD playlist. Thanks for watching!
Do y’all still use it? I need to order this for my girl! She also is in gymnastics and gets distracted.
Very interesting.
Thanks!
Have you tried the Revibe Connect with the screen? I just ordered it, but after seeing your video i'm questioning my purchase. My question would be that what are pros and cons screen vs. no screen.
I’m glad we discussed this - thanks for watching and reaching out!
I am thinking about ordering the re-vibe connect.. What are your thoughts?
It's been a couple of years. Does your son still use this and find it helpful?
We use it on tough days, but nowadays he has grown in his focusing capabilities and rarely needs it.
❤️🤓😘
I love that kid hehe good job kiddo 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Aw, we love him to pieces. Thanks for the sweet comment!
