Imagine That!
Hi, I’m Julie from Imagine That. This journey started with my son, an amazing, happy little boy who didn’t quite fit the typical mould. He didn’t crawl. He didn’t babble. His coordination was off. And as he grew, he struggled with things that should have come naturally, like riding a bike or learning to read.
What we eventually discovered was that he hadn’t integrated his primitive reflexes, the foundational movements that help children develop coordination, balance, and even focus.
That discovery changed everything.
It led to healing, progress… and to this.
How it works
Most furniture used in early childhood settings wasn’t designed with development in mind.
Chairs with backs encourage slouching. ‘Sit still’ becomes the expectation, even though a child’s body is trying to move.
But that fidgeting? That wriggling? That’s not misbehaviour – it’s neurological growth.
Children are wired to move in order to learn.
And when we ask them to stay still, we’re holding back their natural development.”
The Solution
A solution that supports movement, development, and imagination – all in one. Our Table and Stool Sets allows children to sit, shift, and move freely while they play – encouraging better posture, stronger cores, and integrated reflexes.
It’s not just a seat. It’s a subtle, powerful tool for growth.”
Reflex Integration & Benefits
Our stool design supports what’s called active sitting – no backs, no rigid posture. Children plant their feet flat, engage their core, and stay naturally aligned. This simple change helps them integrate four key primitive reflexes:
- ATNR (for coordination)
- STNR (for posture)
- TLR (for balance)
- Moro (for emotional regulation)
These are the building blocks for confident movement, calm focus, and school readiness.
And they’re developed not through instruction – but through play.
