Why is playing with squeezy toys good for children and adults?
Did you know that research has shown that when both adults and children are stressed or anxious, focus and concentration can be improved when they can control or direct their movements?
Not only are movement and sensory input an essential components for learning, they are also important for being able to complete tasks. The reason for this is, is that it involves bilateral coordination - using both hemispheres of the brain simultaneously.
Our brain stems control basic bodily functions like controlling our heart rate, our breathing and our level of consciousness. Some peoples brains can wake up but not necessarily be alter, while other might need some encouragement to even awaken. Fidgeting or movement is a key element in triggering the brain stem into being awake and alert at the same time.
