I don't know a 6 year old that doesn't need to fidget. I couldn't have survived my classes without all my fidgetting habits. I always thought that some kids who were constantly bouncing in and out of their seats needed a more interactive learning center where they could learn while walking around the room or sit in a chair when they got tired.

I was always a low energy child, so beyond the hand fidgetting and gum chewing I was a mostly "model" student. It still horrifies me when I hear of a school where gum is banned. Without the gum I would have slept through all my classes.
