Throughout my 22 years of teaching, I have always been aware that students who struggle academically also tend to have increased levels of anxiety. Why wouldn’t they? It is very difficult for them to keep up with the learning challenges they face on a daily basis. Many of my students also have ADHD, which makes it difficult for them to sit still during lessons. Having bouncy chairs and yoga materials will help them to release energy and improve concentration. Studies prove that when students are able to engage in rocking motion, it helps them to calm down and pay attention. If we had these chairs and mind/body connection materials, it would greatly help my students be more relaxed, focused and successful.
