My son has began hitting or tapping when he gets excited. He will do that anything or anyone. I figure its his way of stemming, but it's getting to the point where it can be harmful if he is really excited or really upset. I have been looking into behavior therapy to help control his reactions and just wanted to know some of your experiences with this type of behavior and if you sought out treatment and what was the result during and after treatment? Thank you for all who reply! #SHARINGISCARING
My ds taps his foot loud... he has a lot of negative behavior and for him you would have to take away the house sometimes to get things to work. So we gave up and just remind him to stop. Or we've done... I hear you we need to stop our feet. Put your feet up. If you feel you can't stop you can go to your room and tap all you like. Which means that is his place to tap, yell... of course we started that to late and the time out room (bedroom) as it was is not a fun place to tap so that is still in progress. Wish we had started that earlier.
