Before children can speak with words, they speak with their bodies.
That crash into the couch…
That need to spin over and over again…
That tight squeeze they seek, or the way they avoid swings at the park…
It’s not random. It’s not “bad behavior.”
It’s communication.
Movement is your child’s first language—and one of the most important ways their nervous system learns to regulate, explore, and connect.
When we see repeated behaviors—rocking, spinning, hiding under blankets, lying flat on the floor—we can start to ask not “how do I stop this?” but “what is my child’s body trying to say?”
Some kids are seeking more input.
Some are protecting themselves from overload.
Some are just trying to find balance in a world that often moves too fast for their systems.
Supporting your child’s nervous system means tuning into these patterns, building in movement, and respecting even the quirkiest resets.
🧠 Your child isn’t broken. They’re brilliantly communicating in the language they know best.
💬 What movement habits does your child have that you didn’t understand at first?
