Nov. 3, 2009 - Why Would Boys Need Chairs?
Well duh is my reaction to this article:
No Chairs: Students Get "The Wiggles Out" on Exercise Balls
And yet, there are still people that give me a wierd look when I tell them about letting Little Monkey do this:
Sometimes little boys just need to wiggle, even during math :)

We tried that for awhile, but my DS learned to roll away and bounce around the house - using the ball like a hippty-hop. :-S I had to put it away for awhile, and we got an inflatable balance disc for his chair instead. ;-)

Ah yes, we have the inflatable disc too. Little Monkey tends to be too wiggly for that, although sometimes it's enough to get him through his math. More often, it's used by him as a "foot rest" while he's sitting on the ball.
I've never seen a child bounce on a ball while stomping on a disc and only THEN be able to multiply ;) He's entertaining if nothing else!

Oh yes, I can certainly relate to that. Once I had my son do his math and reading balancing on a ball. Those boys, always up to something innovative!
