As the back-to-school season ramps up, parents are on the lookout for creative ways to support their kids’ learning and well-being. This year check out the KINNEBAR Foot Swing—a game-changer that’s catching the eye of educators and parents alike. If you’ve been searching for a tool to help your child stay focused and engaged, this might be exactly what you need!

What is the KINNEBAR Foot Swing?

Think of the KINNEBAR Foot Swing as a mini playground for your child's feet, right at their desk. It’s a flexible seating solution designed to fit under a chair or desk, giving kids two fun options: gently swinging or bouncing on a sensory band with their feet. This simple yet brilliant device encourages active movement and can be especially helpful for children who find it tough to stay focused or have sensory processing needs.

Why You’ll Love the KINNEBAR Foot Swing:

1. Supercharge Focus and Concentration

Sitting still for long periods can be a real challenge for many kids. The KINNEBAR Foot Swing offers a soothing, rhythmic motion that helps them channel excess energy and boost their concentration. This gentle movement can make it easier for kids to stay on task and tackle their classroom assignments with newfound focus.

2. Sensory Boost for Calm and Concentration

Children with sensory processing disorder or ADHD often need extra sensory input to stay calm and focused. The KINNEBAR Foot Swing provides just that—a proprioceptive experience that helps them discreetly manage their sensory needs. The swinging motion delivers the sensory feedback they need to stay grounded and attentive.

3. Comfort Meets Cool

Sitting through hours of class can be uncomfortable, especially for younger children who might not have built up sitting stamina yet. The KINNEBAR Foot Swing makes sitting more comfortable by allowing kids to move their feet and adjust their posture, reducing leg strain and promoting a more relaxed sitting experience. No more wobbling, rocking or falling with older types of flexible seating options.

4. Positive Vibes and Behavior

The ability to move while seated often translates into better classroom behavior. Kids who use the KINNEBAR Foot Swing are less likely to fidget or become disruptive. This means a more peaceful classroom environment for everyone, with less stress for both students and teachers. Many teachers report they spend less time redirecting their students who use a KINNEBAR.

5. Self-Regulation Skills in Action

Using the KINNEBAR Foot Swing helps kids practice self-regulation. They learn to manage their swinging motion and use it appropriately without bothering their classmates. This practice of self-control and mindfulness benefits them both in the classroom and beyond.

Do I need to ask my child’s teacher or school for permission to use a KINNEBAR Foot Swing?

Most teachers welcome flexible seating options and already use them in their classrooms. Here is a letter template that you can customize and send to your child’s teacher if you would like to ask permission. Just remember to take it home at the end of the school year!

Conclusion

As the school year gets underway, finding ways to support your child’s focus and comfort is key. The KINNEBAR Foot Swing offers a unique and practical solution that can help them stay engaged and at ease in the classroom. By adding this fun and functional tool to their daily routine, you’re setting them up for a successful and enjoyable school year. So, gear up for back-to-school and consider the KINNEBAR Foot Swing—it could be the secret ingredient to unlocking your child’s full potential!
