Children, whether they have ADHD or not, may have a difficult time focusing when they have to be seated and remain completely still. The act of remaining still disengages their focus and leads to a general detachment when learning or engaging in anything they don’t find substantially interesting or exciting. By using a wiggle seat, the child utilizes stomach muscles and has to balance, both of which prevent him/her from finding other outlets for movement, such as wiggling and fidgeting. The wobble seats add just enough physical activity to not only engage their mind better, but avoid excessive or otherwise distracting movements.
