Fidget Toys Can Help Kids With Trouble Concentrating in School

The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services recently posted on Facebook an article from friendshipcircle.org about fidget toys, a little known tool that can help restless toddlers or ones with certain learning disabilities to focus in class.

Posted in lieu of Mental Health Awareness Month, the article showcases research done on these types of toys and the improvements it can make in a child’s learning experience.

Fidget toys come in all different forms and can include common items like stress balls, tangles and squiglets, according to the article. These can help with focus, attention, calming and active listening.

These types of toys redirect restless and unfocused children’s movements from their body and mind into the toy, the article reports. These toys are also easily affordable and appealing for all ages and genders.
