This episode shares a must-have tool for those kids who are in need of movement to support their focus and concentration without creating a ruckus in the classroom.

About My Guest:

Jodi Whalen is the creator of the product KINNEBAR – a kinesthetic foot swing that helps children with various learning differences and sensory challenges. Jodi and her husband came up with the idea after watching their own son struggle to get through schoolwork. Jodi took her marketing background and creative ingenuity to help design a product with like-minded engineers. Today KINNEBAR is found in classrooms and homes all around the country and is helping children stay focused and engaged for longer periods of time.

About Me:

Hi, I’m Ashleigh Tolliver, and this podcast is a road map to Parenting That Kid. As a mother to a highly sensitive little boy, I know what it means to parent a child who does not fit into the ‘box’ modern society has put children into. My mission is to help other parents of “that kid” feel less alone, more confident, and more equipped by asking the tough questions to the professionals, gathering tools and resources, and connecting with other moms who are wrestling with the same struggles.

If recording my journey as I seek a clear starting point, community, and effort to normalize a life with a highly emotional, sometimes out of control child, and supports at least one parent, then my time is not wasted. And if it doesn’t well, there’s documented proof that moms deserve a glass of wine.

Cheers
