Use of sand vests to calm children with ADHD sparks concern: German schools are increasingly asking unruly and hyperactive children to wear heavy sand-filled vests in an effort to calm them and keep them on their seats, despite the misgivings of some parents and psychiatrists. • r/worldnews

They do that in American schools. They are slightly weighted and can provide soothing pressure. Most of the kids that wear them in my school request that we put them on for them.
