PSYCHOLOGY OF FIDGET

What is the psychology behind fidget?

Heartland Tribe:  Rosie Jewell

Fidgeting is one way 

to relieve you of excess energy. 

Fidgeting gives you something to focus on.

Heartland Tribe:  Mary Marcia & Rosie Jewell

Why?

Fidgeting is a response to boredom or anxiety.

Anxious fidgeting happens when the body 

has elevated levels of stress hormones

that prepare your muscles for sudden exertion.

to help focus,

or just for playing and having fun.

The National Autism Organization states: 

"These types of soft toys and stress balls 

help kids with autism or ADHD 

focus and manage daily stress."

Studies show that squeezing and releasing a polyurethane foam ball or toy helps with stress relief.  That makes them a great way for children to work off steam.  The use of stress balls has also been linked to improved attention spans.
