If you have a kid who has school online you may want to consider getting them a wobble board to stand on during class.
A Balance Board Increases Concentration
If you are on a balance board, you are forced to concentrate on making small adjustments by shifting your weight back and forth. You are focusing in on your ability to stay concentrated on accomplishing this one task. In a classroom, a student may have trouble honing in on learning about the Industrial Revolution because they are fidgety or just staring off into space. Think of keeping the balance board level as an analogy to learning about a topic, if you lose concentration you will flip to one side or lose your balance. If you stay on the wobble board, the only option is to concentrate on maintaining your balance. Test scores for children have been shown to go up dramatically.
