Original caption

If your child is constantly pushing their feet into you, their body may be looking for more proprioceptive input. Try firm, sustained pressure into the feet. 🔹 Use slow, steady pressure 🔹 Maintain it while your child is comfortable 🔹 Let your child guide how much pressure feels good 🔹 Stop if they resist, pull away, or seem uncomfortable For some sensory-seeking kids, this type of deep pressure can feel organizing and calming.
