Why Can’t They Just Sit Still?
“Sit still” isn’t something kids just know how to do. It’s a skill, and you can teach it. Get a free, ready-to-teach Calm Body lesson you can use this week.
Sound familiar?
You’ve said “criss-cross applesauce” five times before 9 a.m. Someone is rolling on the carpet. Someone else is poking their neighbor. And you haven’t even started the lesson yet.
It’s not that your students don’t want to sit still. Most of them have never been taught how.
