[quote=Anonymous]Our child stims when he is excited. Hand flapping, skipping back and forth, some not-too-loud vocalizing that sounds a bit like higher pitched, happy humming (sans melody, unfortunately). Nothing big, violent, etc., but certainly his behaviors are different than most of his peers (he’s 4), and his stims of course could be distracting to others. I’ve been told by some professionals to encourage him to have “quiet hands” and to generally help minimize the stimming, and others who say, it’s who he is and he needs to stim. The folks who advocate minimizing stimming are thinking long term about fitting in/bullying/success in school/comfort in the school environment. How do you handle stimming? Is there a right answer in this? [/quote]
