Please help .. my nursery is saying my daughter stims when she’s there and gets overwhelmed like flaps her hands and rocks side to side and goes in circles.. behaviour she doesn’t show at home.. she sometimes watches tv and rocks side to side but not much and she will flap her hands when angry but in a way like she’s telling you to go away if that makes sense! Any idea…

Looks like a stim to me

Flapping hands is a common stim, as is rocking. Stimming is often used outside of the home tbf

Rocking is a common stim.
My son stims a lot more away from home than he does at home. Also standing that close can be another stim due to the amount of sensory feedback it gives especially if it's something she does frequently.
It is something she does often, we have never thought of her having stims, just how she was being our first it seems she’s not coping in her nursery setting without stimming a lot and screeching as she’s behind in speech x
