Neuropsychology professor Erik Scherder think fidgeting very much now. “Internet, social media and apps have brought us many wonderful things, but there is also a downside: Too many incentives! Because all the technology and communication demands our attention. With fidgeting you’ll bring your central nervous system to relax. ”

By fidgeting, you can also direct your attention. “It takes away the noise,” said Scherder. That’s why you see students in lecture fidgeting with their hair or people playing during meetings in the office with the button of their pen. That’s not a lack of interest, the fidgeting increases concentration. Thats how you’re able to store more information. ”
Why is fidgeting with objects, or your own hair, oh so nice to do? C-fibers, Scherder explains. “Very thin nerves that transmit impulses to your brains. They are also at your fingertips. With a repetitive movement with an object with a pleasant texture, you get a good feeling. And if it feels good, you want more. Your brains like to be rewarded. Whether it’s with a glass of red wine or the touch of something pleasant. ”

Furthermore, you will relax by fidgeting, said Scherder. “There have been done research into dementia patients, they gave them tissues where they could fidgeting with and the patients became quietly.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3”][vc_column_text]ADHD or ADD
Its quite common these days; children and adults with ADHD or ADD. Retention of concentration and the ability to complete tasks is difficult for people with ADHD and ADD. Unfortunately, this also has regular negative consequences in everyday life, at school or at work.

People are generally most productive when they can focus on one thing. For people with ADHD it is the opposite. When a person with ADHD has an unimportant “toy” in his hand, which can be fiddled with, he is able to concentrate better on the other, more important tasks. From a natural feeling that people often engage itself something that is present in their environment to fiddle with. A pen, which is going to be then clicked with it. A piece of tape, rolling between the fingers. These are often things that are on the desk at your fingertips, but unfortunately often make noise. The fidgetspinner is a fantastic alternative. It makes no noise. You use it without having to look at them. And it’s a nice feeling to keep the Fidgetspinner in hand and are working on it.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]Autism
For people with autism, the world can be very overwhelming. In children and adults with autism can cause sensory overload tremendous stress and anxiety. People with autism have a natural tendency to fidget, this is their coping mechanism**. Providing them with a device that is specially made to fidget can give very good results.

Fidgeting is for people with autism very obvious, but by their own (and sometimes their environment) perceived as annoying or distracting. Therefore it is very nice that there are ‘things’ that are designed to fiddle with. This will make it much more likely to be accepted by the environment and the fiddler has no reason to be ashamed for his behavior.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]* Source: NOS (Dutch Broadcasting Federation)

** Coping is a combination of the mental and emotional responses to stress or a problem, and the behavior resulting therefrom.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
