Whether it’s in the classroom or the office, there’s always (at least) one person who can’t sit still and, when forced to lớn stay in one place, taps a pen on any available surface. For some people, listening to this day in & day out can be the equivalent of torture. But there’s an easy solution, & you’ll find it at your local dollar store!

Susie Hanes from Odessa High School was struggling with a chronic pen tapper when she came khổng lồ my seminar. I work with a lot of teachers who have students with AD(H)D, and I always encourage them lớn allow students to funnel their energy in productive ways. Whether it’s coloring a mandala or providing quiet “fidget tools,” there are several outlets you can provide your students.

Once her other students saw the sponge curler, they all wanted one, so Susie put a supply of them on her desk for students khổng lồ pick up at the beginning of class và drop off as they left. As Susie says, “It sounds so small, but it made such a difference in my kid’s và in my environment. Made me happy, made other students happy, life was great. Simple but great.”
