Wiggles... By Ilvtching

I have many wigglers this year! I let them stand if they choose. I had one little guy who was all over the place. I used velcro and put a box around his chair (table)...the could stand and wiggle all he needed as long as two things happened: 1. he didn't leave that box and 2. he got his work done. Like Suem said...not all kids are visual or auditory learners....there are many that are kinestetic (I know that is spelled wrong, sorry).

You may also try putting bungee cords (in your hubby's garage) on their chairs...then they can bounce their feet while they work. I did that last year with my ADHD child and it works wonders!
