Doctors incorporate exercise balls into therapy to help hyperactive children maintain a stronger focus and learn how to slow down and take a break.

Children also respond to the playful, fun element of using an exercise ball, but most importantly, they're learning skills that help them become more coordinated. The ball is soothing and strengthening, which makes it a wonderful tool for helping children overcome hyperactivity. Through the use of specific exercises and games that are provided by your doctor or teacher, hyperactive children can learn to have fun while developing important skills that will help them improve their condition. (Don't forget to ask your doctor about exercises you can do at home to help your child.)

Here are other benefits that kids get from having a ball. Children with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and hyperactive children use balls

• To improve focus and concentration.
• To learn and develop coordination.
• To define spatial problems.
• To improve overall fitness level.
