For children with ADHD, their bedroom should be a place of comfort where they can unwind, relax, and stay calm. As you plan out your child's bedroom set-up, there are many factors to consider when it comes to the final design.  To help your child thrive in the bedroom, you want to implement natural coping strategies that can help them lessen the symptoms of ADHD like hyperactivity and a lack of focus. One type of installation to consider is a piece of sound art. This is essentially a two-in-one piece of custom speaker art that hides the musical speaker behind the piece of artwork. Choosing this type of speaker art can help create an ideal environment for your child, and there are multiple benefits when having it installed.

Music Therapy

The speaker itself is a great way to use music therapy with your child. A remote control can help them control the volume and adjust it to levels that they are comfortable with. The key to using music in a child's room is by building up a rhythmic structure that can help them focus and relax. When installing the sound art, the speakers typically come with a Bluetooth wireless connection. This allows you to connect your phone and set up a custom playlist for your child. This playlist can use a number of relaxing tracks and songs that your child can focus on. The speaker is also a great way for your child to release some energy in their room. Dance music can provide ways for a child stay physical and enjoy the freedom that dancing brings.

Visual Meditation

The installation of sound art provides a great way to blend both music therapy and visual meditation into one application. Custom designs allow you to choose the piece of art that is actually installed over the speaker. The design that you choose can have a big impact on the way your child visually meditates and receives help with various focusing techniques. For example, you can choose a relaxing scenic picture that showcases nature settings like a forest or waterfall. Color paintings with a lot of different elements can also give your child something to focus on. You can use the speaker to help enhance the visual meditation that your child does while viewing the painting. For example, you can play a nature sound effect track while your child views a painting of a rain forest. Browse through different painting designs to choose one that best suits your child and will match the decor in the room.

Less Distractions

Once the sound art is hung up and installed, it creates a clean look to the room. There are no dangling cords or a need to place speakers in different locations. The clean look can provide less distractions for your child as they spend time in the room. It is simply a piece of art that music can emit from. When they understand how the technology works, your child can enjoy the art and sounds for what they are. They will be less prone to pulling on cords. Remotes can help control the musical functions instead of having to touch or access the art itself.

Morning Alarms

Waking up in the morning can be a challenge for someone with ADHD. Adjusting to the day and following a morning routine can be a struggle, especially when there is a time limit like getting ready for school. A Bluetooth speaker installed in sound art can provide easy ways for you to set up relaxing morning alarms for your child. Instead of bursting into the room or creating a chaotic situation, the speakers can be used to play calming music and soothing sounds for a morning routine. By starting off the day with a relaxing attitude, your child can thrive and stay calm.

Make your child a part of the process by allowing them to pick out the sound art that they desire. This choice will help them feel involved and encouraged to use the speaker for a variety of reasons.
