In a traditional school setting, children are generally required to sit at the same desk and chair day in and day out. For many children, this can feel rigid and restraining which can make learning and positive behavior difficult. A classroom environment for young children should be one in which they have the freedom and ability to move and change position several times a day so that they feel comfortable, at ease, and open to learning. With a flexible seating environment, such as Wobble Cushions and Wobble Chairs, students can select a seating arrangement they enjoy, which puts them in a positive state of mind for learning and interacting with others.
