When a child seeks extra movement, deep pressure, or loud sounds, it may mean their sensory system is under-responding. This hyposensitivity often appears as constant motion, rough play, or unusual tolerance to intense sensations. These behaviors signal a need for stronger input.

Many children crash, hang upside down, or chew for feedback. These actions create missing sensory signals, and simple daily activities can offer that input safely and predictably throughout the daily routine.

It’s funny how you can be holding a newborn who can’t even focus their eyes yet, and still you get a sense, a little whisper of the kind of person they might grow into. Parents swear their baby was cautious from day one, or stubborn, or strangely observant.
