Use a Standing Desk So You Can Move Around

If your student is very fidgety or easily loses focus

How To Apply It!

  1. Standing desks can be a great option if you are fidgety or have difficulty focusing since the extra movement can help you maintain your attention.Be sure that you choose one that is the correct height. This typically means that your elbows can rest comfortably on the desk for proper writing or typing.
  2. If you choose to purchase a desk, an adjustable one might be the best option to grow with you.
  3. Before purchasing a standing desk, work by standing at a counter or other high table and see if this feels comfortable and effective over a few days.

Why It Works (the Science Of Learning)!

Standing desks might not fit a parent's vision of a traditional and proper homework spot, but there is an increasing body of research to point to the ergonomic benefits. Standing desks are becoming more popular in office spaces as well as schools. For children with weaker attention, standing desks provide them more room for fidgeting while still doing work which can improve their focus and efficiency.
