[quote=Anonymous]My daughter is 6 and her hand flapping has reduced over the years. We have discussions with her on how it's not socially appropriate to flap hands and what she can do instead of flapping (e.g. clap hands). Now, she is more aware when she starts flapping and clasp her fingers together instead. It's also helpful if I give her deep squeezes on her shoulder and arms. We also talk about when she can actually flap and do silly dance (e.g. when we're listening to fun music in our living room, or do animal charades-bird). [/quote]
