Children need to move. Flexible seating allows them to wobble, rock, bounce, lean or stand, which increases oxygen flow to the brain, blood flow and core strength. It also helps keep young minds more alert and focused.
As of now, I currently encourage the students to use clipboards and sit on the carpet to complete classwork. With proper flexible seating, students will have the opportunity to get the blood flowing to their brain while completing classwork. I have many students who have trouble sitting still. They constantly kick their feet and get distracted easily. Flexible seating would help eliminate these issues.
