Humping
Because another parent gave me the strenght to talk about this.
My daughter is 28 months diagnosed level 2 and she has sensory needs as well for the past few months she has been “humping” to self soothe herself I would like to know for parents who dealt with this what would be a healthy way to deal with it ? How did your redirect to maybe let’s say a pillow but in the bedroom only and things like that she is considered non verbal but she follows instructions really well if helps at all ♥️ thank you for your advices im just trying to see if it would be okay to redirect to an appropriate area to do it rather than just trying to make it stop if it’s helping her regulate

My almost 2 year old has been doing this for over a year and I’ve tried every single method the internet can tell you, only does it to me, loosing my mind tbh
My daughter isn't autistic but will sometimes sit on her heel of her foot and rub against it as if itching an Impossible itch or sometimes it would be on the floor. In everything I looked up, it either says it can be just normal behaviour or irritation from nappies or if she feels sore ect
My son does this also when he’s trying to get himself to sleep. Following to see if there are any tips
