Do any of your kids rock? I hope that doesnt sound strange, and I know my other girls did a little when they were alot younger, but Paige is starting to rock alot! And she grunts while she does it and will do it continuosly for a minute or 2, play with something, then do it again. It is so weird, and I hate that she's doing it. Its just not normal. Is there anything, some different sort of stimulation I can give her to lessen the rocking?

Sounds like something sensory?? Langan doesn't rock but she has a host of other sensory issues. Our OT has us on a "sensory diet" which is basically a list of things we do with her to help center her so she doesn't need to self-stim. We do lots of bouncing, swinging, oral motor stuff, etc.
Does she have an OT? If so, I would talk to them about it. OTs trained in sensory integration are the best. There is also a great series of books- "The Out of Sync Child" that are great for ideas, suggestions and ways to identify sensory problems. Is this what you mentioned in your other post (or was it your blog?) as being something you were worried was seizure related? I hope it's not. Maybe the neuro can give you an idea on that? It sounds like sensory stuff to me, but I am so used to thinking everything Langan does is seizure related that I know how you feel. (((hugs)))

Yeah, this is typically a sensory/self-soothing thing. I have known so-called "typical" adults to rock, shake a leg, or do other similar things. It doesn't have to mean anything serious, but it's worth watching.

It is an awesome book, there is another one I just read - I can't remember the exact title, I will look when I get home, it was something like "Raising sensory smart kids"
Riley has a host of stimming that she does, more so latley. We are in the process of revising her sensory diet and getting her more stuff for her sensory boxes.

does rocking help her move her bowels?
lil'monkey did that. even the grunting. her ped said it soothed her tummy and helped stimulate. also helped with gas. she has lactose issues. not full intolerance, but she will get constipated. and she will KILL me if she reads this. |

She doesnt have probs with constipation, but as i stated in an earlier post, she does have probs drinking pediasure. Gagging and throwing it up. maybe a lactose intolerance prob? but she never had a problem with her formula.

it might just give her good feeling. most babies like baby swings. kids like swing sets. things with motion. grandmonkey loves his sit-n-spin. crazy kids.
i hope it is nothing but her doing something that makes her happy. lol...i love my little rocking monkey too. |
