For my second son, his occupational therapist and spec ed pre-k teacher had him sit on an exercise ball instead of a chair and it helped with his learning and focusing. Now going into 3rd grade he has a little square wedege that he sits on that allows a little movement and helps him to stay focused. His 1st grade teacher was a male and seemed to really understand the kids and had them up and moving constantly.<br />Congratulations on your little Matthew (my 4th son is Simon Matthew). It's a good strong name.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01878081653863311890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-49461604218074590212009-08-17T01:22:51.749-04:002009-08-17T01:22:51.749-04:00I studied much of this when I was dealing with cla...I studied much of this when I was dealing with classrooms and Josh (who is SO not wired for a classroom) and tried to share this information with teachers along. This is a great reference article that I will likely pass along and share with this year's group of teachers (who probably already know, but who can resist sharing something this good and concise?). God certainly knew what He was doing creating both men and women and making their differences compliment and contrast one another. AND... as the mom of an 11 y.o. VERY ACTIVE boy, I can tell you, it's all SPOT ON!! :-) Enjoy having your boy, Lori -- they are the best thing in the world. While I LOVE LOVE LOVE Ellie, if there were to be another Latham child and I could pick -- it would be another wonderful boy!!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02487340922585988224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-85746280242814081422009-08-15T23:55:02.503-04:002009-08-15T23:55:02.503-04:00That was a great post!
