The other day I went to Tomás's speech therapy, and the therapist gave me a fantastic tip that I have to share with you. It involves filling a large container with beans, rice, or lentils, and while they are doing their homework, have them put their bare feet in this container. You might think it's crazy, but I did it with my 3 kids, and it has been a complete success; I'm sure it will also help your kids. What this therapist explained to me is that by doing this, you manage to make your children concentrate much more, and if they are fidgety, it forces them not to move around so much. Tomás loves it! It relaxes him a lot, and I feel like he even becomes more creative, as if the sensory part of his brain is activated. Try it with your kids, and let me know how it goes.
