I (Melinda) had the opportunity to interview Sarah Wright, co-author of the book Fidget to Focus. This book has great ideas for children and adults and is packed with practical ways to use fidgeting as a strategy to help increase focus. The book is also useful as a resource when you need to advocate for your child’s use of fidget objects like the ones in our Heads Up Fidget Bundles. Fidget items can help those who need them and Sarah helps explain why it’s worth giving them a try.
I am a preschool teacher. I teach the 3 year old children which means they turn 3 before August 31 before entering my class each year. This year I have a boy not diagnoised with any disability, but he fidgets alot and is distracting to the oter children. This also lands him in time-out alot. He is a good little boy and I want to help him with this with out punishing him. Do you think this book could help me with this age group and do you have any ideas in the meantime?
Thanks,
Ms Vickie
