Children have natural impulses to move.  But the classroom structure requires that they sit still for several hours a day.  It is almost pre-programmed that they will lose concentration, start to fidget, annoy the teacher and cause disruption.  

Using an elevated desk with the kyBounder mat provides a healthy alternative to this stressful classroom situation. Standing on the soft cushioning mat while learning increases muscle activation and guarantees a natural upright posture that supports concentration. The bad posture and “hyperactivity” caused by continuous sitting and slouching becomes a thing of the past.  According to scientific studies, this moderate spring-like movement while learning improves cognitive ability, reduces performance-related stress, and increases creativity.
