Rocking and side to side swaying

[Guest guest]

Has any of you experienced rocking and or side to side swaying with your

children. If yes, did the OT help in teaching the kids different

soothing/comforting methods? Did your child stop rocking/swaying and at what age

or does he/she still do it? What made the difference?

Thank you in advance for sharing,

My nine year old aspie has an exercise ball that we keep in the tv room.

He can hardly sit still on the sofa to watch television or a movie. So he rolls

around on it, sits on it and bounces and lays on it rocking back and forth. He

finds this very soothing. If he doesn't see it, he'll ask, " Where's my ball? "

Hope that is helpful.

I also and an excrisize ball for my 8yrs old son.... he also started tapping both his feet last year in 1st grade, gues it sounded like a bunch of elephants... the solution was to just have him take his shoes off
