We Just Gotta Move !
“Hey, Kid! Do you ever feel like—
You gotta tap your feet?
Jump up and snap?
Drum on your desk?
Ra-a-tat-tat?”
Written in second person, the narrator asks the reader if They just gotta move, too. WE JUST GOTTA MOVE gives us a bird’s eye view of how an active or a neurodivergent child strives to focus and to keep Their body still during school. Gym, brain breaks, and mindfulness exercises like yoga offer opportunities to get wiggles out, chill buzzy brains, snappy fingers, and tappy feet.
