Sensory seeker or "bad behavior"? As an OT mom to two ADHD boys and a sensory seeker, this is our every day. Stomping, noises, crashing into me, walls, and friends. Full energy from the moment he wakes up. It's the constantness of it. That's proprioception. His body needs a bigger signal from his muscles and joints, so it goes looking for it. And "go run it off" can make it worse. Heavy work and deep pressure help it settle. Now he's 8, and we have a plan that works. It's all in my Sensory Seeker Survival Toolkit. Link in bio.
