Kids are meant to run, jump, explore and play! However, there are times when children need to sit and this can be a big struggle, even for a small period of time– whether that’s at the dinner table, during a reading lesson, or in a class. Several of my friends, including Angelique from Intensive Reading Interventions, have had huge success with a very simple trick… a balance disc!
Vestibular.org has the perfect chart and explanation as to why balance can activate the cerebellum and cerebral cortex to not only regulate posture, but also higher level thinking.
Amazon has an Air Stability Wobble Cushion/Balance Disc marked down to only $14.65, regularly priced at $35, plus you can get it shipped for FREE in 2-Days with Amazon Prime!

I ordered the balance disc for my wiggle worm to help with dinner time chaos! We’ve only had it for a couple of days, but so far it is truly helping!
My little guy is not big on taking pictures! This is the best smile he could give me at the moment, however he loves his balance disc. 🙂
