Many children have trouble sitting still. When watching a movie or talking with the family, they constantly want to move, bounce, or fidget. If your kid is one one of them, you have probably struggled for a solution. The secret? If the situation permits, let them move! There are great products out there that allow your child to sit and still move. Here are a few: The Bounce Ball: One easy way to give your kid a chance to wiggle and bounce is an inflatable ball. Yoga balls are good, but they are often too big for smaller kids. I found that Mega Bounce inflatable balls are just the right size (about 55 inches around.) They are inexpensive (under $15) and come with a foot pump to inflate and deflate. They are great for sitting or lying on. Get this one made by Duncan Toys on Amazon.com by clicking the link below. The Bungee Chair: Another great alternative seat for kids who do better if they can wiggle or bounce is a chair made of bungee cords. Sounds fun, right? In a way, it is like a trampoline that you sit in and bounce. It is also quick and easy for kids to pull out and set up. The best part is that this chair folds up and can be stored behind a door when not needed. Get this one made by Room Essentials at Target by clicking the link below.
