Exhilarating Fun
and Therapeutic!

WhirlyGoRound can enhance a child's ability to self-regulate emotions, attention, and behaviors.
This is because the vestibular and proprioceptive stimulation can help the brain better organize and process sensory information. For children 3-8.

Is the joy they feel therapeutic, or do the therapeutic benefits generate joy?

Yes.

MORE PLEASANT DAYS FOR EVERYONE

When children are better able to self-regulate their emotions, attention, and behaviors, it can create a more positive and productive environment for all.

• Fewer meltdowns and emotional outbursts translate to a calmer overall atmosphere.

• Improved self-regulation means less time managing distractions and more time on planned activities and instruction.

How It Works

WhirlyGoRound is 100% Kid-Powered

It's Physics: Using core muscles to shift their center of mass away from and toward the center of rotation creates torque. Sustained effort is rewarded by a thrilling sense of achievement.

Kids become more settled and ready to learn.

Why It's Effective

Spinning on the WhirlyGoRound stimulates the vestibular and proprioceptive systems. The vestibular system helps with balance and spatial awareness, while the proprioceptive system provides information about body position and movement. This sensory input is crucial for overall development and can be beneficial for all children, regardless of their specific needs.

WHY SOME GOOD KIDS
Have Bad Days

Not Enough Sensory Input

Today, kids are "protected" from merry-go-rounds, monkey bars and jungle gyms, spending more time in sedentary play and getting less sensory input. Some crawl for only a short time or, for safety, are shuttled between containers so they don't develop sufficient core strength for sensory stimulation.

Sensory Dysregulation Disrupts Self-Regulation

Emotions: Regulating their emotions becomes difficult.

Behavior: Their capacity to regulate their actions and behaviors is hindered. 

Attention and Focus: Regulating their focus and attention is difficult.

Cognitive: Regulating the mental processes for problem solving and persistence to tasks is hindered.

Physically active play is important for children to get the sensory input they need to regulate their emotions and behaviors.
