Your child may be sensory seeking/craving. This means that he or she may not feel stimulation from the environment with as much intensity as other people do, and the amount of stimulus usually needed to activate a certain response may be perceived by your child as unsatisfactory. A child can be seeking/craving in one sense and display a different pattern in another sense. A child can also be seeking/craving one day and display a different pattern in the same sense another day. For seekers/cravers, Calming Tactile, Proprioception, and Calming Vestibular activities can be very helpful. Follow the links below for more regulating activities to try with your child.
