I know this seems like a rudimentary comment but I have been into schools before where well-meaning assistants have taken out all of the stoppers because children were playing with them. I have children report that their stopper was missing and they were still sitting on the cushion.Usually discovered during the child’s early school years when a child begins to have problems paying attention, it is more common in boys than in girls. By constantly having the postural muscles active, it allows them to stay strong and activated to better meet the demands imposed on them in our day to day lives. Meaning you won’t feel as stiff and creaky every time you stand up after a spell at your desk. It is particularly good for children who have rounded shoulders, or low muscle tone, as the seat helps the body sit in a good postural position. It’s this movement, when channelled correctly that actually helps students focus. A 2008 National Education Association article featured a research study that found children need to move while performing a complicated mental task.

Then in 2007 the Mayo Clinic in Rochester echoed these sentiments by finding that the ability to move around more while sitting made the students more attentive, the study believing this is due to kids being able to burn off excess energy by bouncing or moving. The study also found that “children, especially those with ADHD fidgeted more when a task required them to store and process information rather than just hold it. This is why students are often restless while doing maths or reading, but not while watching a movie.”In recent years there has been significant research in to the idea of ‘active sitting’. As the world continues to advance technologically, for some, sitting at our desks for extended periods of time has become unavoidable and it can lead to many postural and health complications. Children suffering from ADHD may have trouble paying attention, as well as displaying hyperactivity and being unable to control their impulses. Active sitting by its nature is friendly towards fidgeting, so for those children who can’t resist, it’s a good way of channelling their excess energy in to productive activities, as well as providing the physical benefits and reducing strain on their young bodies.
