REVIEWS

It's literally ALL they do. I could get rid of all their other toys and they wouldn't notice.

Homeschool Mom

That's my biggest thing, getting him

off the video games!

Lisa, Single Mom

She loves it just as much today, as the

day we got it. She uses it every day.

This thing is the best thing and it's

better than recess!

They play with it on and off all day long...

at some point in time, one's always on it.

Mommy I want to go on that spinning thing at church. He wouldn't stop talking about it.

He loves it so much, he even sits

on it to watch TV!

They're on it every day. The 4-year old did 103 revolutions without stopping!

Why Some Good Kids
Can Have Bad Days

Remember PhysActive Fun?

Today, kids are "protected" from Merry Go Rounds, Monkey Bars and Jungle Gyms. Such physically active fun developed gross motor skills and gave powerful sensory input.

Generation Screentime

Sedentary play activities mean kids aren’t getting the same physically active fun as previous generations, resulting in less physical fun, fitness and sensory input.

Not enough crawl-time

Some children crawl for a short time or not at all and don't develop adequate core strength and might find it uncomfortable to sit still for long periods. Weak core strength can be mis-diagnosed as ADHD.

Containerized Kids

For safety's sake, some kids are shuttled from one container to the next and may not develop enough core strength to get enough sensory input as they grow..
sensory dysregulation
Impacts Behavior and Emotions

These important forms of self-regulation are disrupted by Sensory Dysregulation:

Emotions: Regulating their focus and attention becomes difficult.

Behavior: Their capacity to regulate their actions and behaviors is hindered. 

Attention and Focus: Regulating their focus and attention is difficult.

Cognitive: Regulating the cognitive (mental) processes necessary for problem solving and persistence to tasks is difficult.

It's Good
Why Kids Love Spinning

Wynford Dore, of Zing Performance, explains how vestibular stimulation energizes the cerebellum; the part of the brain where skills are stored.

They Can Feel It

Kids can feel how their gross motor movements, and the timing of those movements, results in acceleration or deceleration. It's rewarding!
