The Power of Fidget Tools

Fidget spinners, putty and squishy toys can help with focus and reduce restlessness, especially for children with ADHD or Developmental Coordination Disorders (DCD). These tools give kids a way to release extra energy, helping them focus better on tasks.

In addition to fidget toys, incorporating simple physical activities can be highly beneficial, especially for children with DCD. Activities like jumping jacks, hopscotch, or obstacle courses not only enhance coordination but also promote gross motor skills and physical activity! These engaging exercises can be fun and social, encouraging children to work together while developing their motor skills in a supportive environment.

By integrating fidget tools and physical activities into daily routines, we can create a balanced approach that addresses both focus and coordination challenges. In turn, this can help children feel more in control of their bodies and minds, and enhance their overall well-being.
