Is there a way to make table time a better experience for everyone?
While children should be active for as much time as possible, some activities work best seated at a table. But teachers say too much of table time is spent correcting disruptive behavior.
The new Grow-Right Stool addresses the root of these disruptions by offering a new understanding of classroom seating. By supporting a better posture and allowing subtle movement, the stool’s unique design allows children to sit comfortably and focus on learning.

Developmentally Appropriate
Maintaining good posture and comfort in a traditional chair is hard work for a child. The Grow-Right Stool is designed to allow a child to sit comfortably and appropriately for ideal development.
Here’s how:
- The unique shape of the stool top allows a child’s legs to fall away, opening the angle between their torso and legs, while still being comfortable for the child to straddle. This increases blood flow to the legs and prevents “squishing” of the body cavity.
- Sitting upright strengthens core muscles and aids in whole body development.
- The top of the stool allows children to shift their weight to relieve pressure points that otherwise lead to discomfort and distraction.
- Easy height adjustability allows customized comfort and positioning.
Fewer Disruptions, More Learning
In a 2015 study, ADHD researcher Dr. Dustin Sarver found that small physical motions awaken the nervous system and increase mental alertness, helping a child with attention disorders to concentrate. The Grow-Right Stool allows for these small motions. This translates to improved focus and learning for all children.
Here’s how:
- The stools’ unique shape supports the child’s subtle but constant movement stemming from the body’s quest for balance. This helps mitigate the more disruptive movements associated with conventional seating.
- The triangulation between a child’s feet and ischial tuberosity—commonly known as the “sit bones”—gives needed stability.
- The stool allows a child to anchor themselves with feet firmly planted. Anchoring helps them focus on what they’re doing, rather than focusing on trying to maintain core stability. This translates to improved learning.
