[QUOTE="barneysmom, post: 378839, member: 1872"] (((((((Wiggles)))))) I wish you could wiggle right out of this predicament! Since he likes the big bear hug, I am thinking sensory issues, that his nervous system is completely disorganized. Has he had on Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation (occupational therapy)? With all his physicality -- it seems to be always a "squeezing" type motion -- hitting, pinching, bumping, banging, kicking, throwing, squeezing the throat of the director. Some kids need that "deep pressure" to stay organized. He seems to be seeking this specific type of input. Can he be given something else to squeeze? An official Occupational Therapist (OT) assessment would be best, also "The Out-of-Sync Child" by Carol Stock Kranowitz (not sure about spelling of last name) is a classic in the sensory world. I have to say I think the director could have been a little more creative than sending him home. Sensory issues have been around for a long time and he's only six. Jo P.S. My younger son is like that. He used to ram himself into walls to get himself organized. He now has a beanbag chair that he finds very calming, also a weighted blanket. HTH some -- I don't think it's all of the challenges your son is facing, but I do believe it's a part of them. [/QUOTE]
