Curious about whether fidget toys could be the secret weapon for enhancing focus and attention? Imagine if a simple gadget could help you stay motivated and alert during mundane tasks. On "I Wonder," we explore this intriguing concept, inspired by a question from 13-year-old Annika. We unpack the science behind why small actions like spinning, clicking, or squishing these toys can give your brain a boost of dopamine, keeping your mind engaged and maybe even improving your fine motor skills. But are these toys the right fit for everyone? We discuss their potential, especially for those needing that extra sensory input, while also weighing the risks of distraction if not used wisely.
