The counseling office should be a safe place for students to share their feelings and express themselves. For elementary aged students, it should be a place to build social-emotional skills in small groups and individual settings. By creating a space that allows for movement and wiggling, it creates an opening to help my students express and share what is on their mind.
With these flexible seating options of balance balls, wobble chairs, and floor seats, there will be great seating choices for any student!as we play counseling-style-skill-building games, like Discussion Jenga.
In our shared space, we have a low table and a rug that encourages discourse, but we are in need of seats that fit us. A wiggly-jiggly type chair is a lower-stakes way to help students feel comfortable. For us, an open type of flexible seating makes talking about our feelings feel like there is less pressure.
