Have you ever sat in a high-top bar-stool chair that didn’t have a foot rest? It takes so many core muscles to keep your body upright that after about 15 minutes, most people are already tired and starting to lean forward on their arms for support. We don’t realize how much we rely on our feet for support while we are sitting down. The school day is seven hours. That’s the amount of time 8 year olds are expected to sit in a chair at a desk. Some of them are tall, and their feet are flat on floor, so they can sit comfortably for longer. But for at least half of the students, their feet will dangle the entire year. These bands change everything. I had one single band last year that I used for my shortest friend. Prior to the band she had been laying her head on her desk every afternoon. With the band, she had more energy and sat more comfortably all day long. If I could solder metal bars onto the chair legs to make foot rests, I would, but I can’t. Thus, this is the next best option. But it’s 100% worth it. I hope to someday get one for every chair in the room, but I’m happy to start with those who need it the most. Thank you for your support!
