This chair is my son's (and my!) new happy place
Here are 4 reasons why our family life is better with Walla Chair
Our son has ADHD and sometimes experiences anxiety with school work or social situations. Over the years, we've tried a variety of strategies and techniques to help him focus and reduce anxiety.
This article shares 4 ways our family and others have seen focus improve, anxiety diminish, and confidence grow with Walla Chair.
Confidence is growing
Self-image has improved
Anxiety has decreased
Focus has improved
1. Focus has improved
Focus has always been a struggle for our daughter; whether it's working on homework, reading or remembering to do her chores.
Walla Chair has helped with focus by providing a comfortable spot she can call her own. She's more willing to stay seated and focus on tasks when she's in her new chair. She actually looks forward to reading!
One of the best things about this chair is that it's light enough to easily move around, so she can switch it up from her bedroom to the family room and back.
She usually loves sitting on the cushion, but when she has friends over, one will sit in the chair and the other will use the cushion on the ground like a bean bag.
When our son gets anxious, he sometimes acts out. Whether it comes out as attention seeking, destructive behavior, or any number of ways that aren't helpful to him. We look for ways to help him quiet the anxiety and clear his mind so he can focus on more positive things.
This chair has helped because it can be a enclosing nook for him where he feels safe and calm. When he removes the cushion and sits inside the middle of the chair, he feels hugged and surrounded by comfort. This gives him a sense of protection and safety.
If he's had a challenging day with school work or social interactions, sitting in his happy place helps him unwind and clear his head.
2. Anxiety has decreased
It's been a struggle at times to get our son to take initiative and take responsibility for tasks like homework, reading, chores, etc.
This is where Walla Chair has really been supportive. The chair can be used in a few different ways and he's learning which one works best to help him ground himself and focus, depending on the situation.
When he's feeling overwhelmed or anxious, he takes the cushion out and sits inside the middle of the chair and puts the cushion on top of him. It's like his own little cocoon, and it helps him calm down.
This has made the chair his new favorite place since he can use it as a comfy place to read, a nuturing nook when he wants to feel surrounded, or a calming cocoon when he needs to calm down.
3. Self regulation is better
4. Confidence has grown
The more Ava uses the chair, the more she has been able to complete her homework and reading on time. This has caused her confidence to grow.
We have also seen her ability to manage her emotions get better.
Little by little, she recognizes that she has the ability and power to use tools like Walla Chair to help her focus and manage anxiety.
It's been such a joy to see her sense of worth and confidence grow!
These kinds of stories are why I created Walla Chair. Our son Jax is an awesome kid who sometimes struggles with his self image, confidence and focus, as all kids do.
As parents, we all want our children to understand their value and worth, be confident, and grow in their abilities and talents.
A child needs a place where they can quiet external noise and be ready to believe their worth and value. I designed Walla Chair to be the place where that growth can begin to happen.
My hope is that every child comes to understand that their worth and value is inside of them and immutable; meaning, no one or nothing can diminish it.
