Previously, children would doodle, click a pen, or chew on their sleeve when they felt restless or couldn’t concentrate. Nowadays, both children and adults fiddle with fidget toys.

Fidget toys can sometimes be more distracting than helpful. It largely depends on the situation and the child's individual needs for stimulating their senses. That’s why giving your child a squishy, a chew necklace, or a tangle to fidget with if they find it hard to sit still is not a quick fix. Always take your child's urge to hold or chew on something seriously and find out what works best for them.

You can also get your child fidget toys to play with just for fun.
