Why does my child act this way?

Behavior

Our behavior has four main purposes. These are attention, getting a tangible item, avoiding something, and seeking sensory input. When you understand these processes, behaviors can be predicted allowing adults to be more aware of shifts and subtle changes in a child’s behavior. This then means you are able to intervene before a meltdown!

Sensory

Children who always want to touch things or are fussy or controlling may be doing this because their body is uncomfortable. This may not be due to attention seeking behavior but due to invisible sensations which drives the child to seek out or avoid situations and stimuli such as sounds, taste, touch, sight, smell, and hard physical contact.

Social

Being sociable means the ability to take turns, negotiate, and win and lose without an emotional reaction. In school, they must be able to listen, follow directions, start and complete a task and organize their materials. A lack of these skills has a profound effect on how your child feels about themselves and how they perform in school.

Coordination

Even though it seems that your child has met all of their early developmental milestones (sitting, rolling over, walking) that does not mean that they have the control to do the more challenging activities required as they get older. Accurate movement requires complex coordination, and some children may need extra support with this.
