We have a couple of children who find it challenging to sit still when at the tables. We have purchased wobble cushions so that they are able to move all the time and this helps them to stay sitting in their chairs. We also have kick bands on the legs of the chairs for the children to use at the tables so that they can keep their legs and feet close to their own chairs and keeps them from swinging them. These children need to be constantly moving and they find this helpful.
