when my son was younger he was a BIG sensory seeker. Any type of sensory input he would find, he did. We do a lot of sensory diet routines. He really loves his trampoline (we got a small fitness one for $19 at walmart) and other sensory things. Many kids love water and sand tables. My son LOVED a corn bucket. Filling one of the big plastic tubs with deer corn and allowing him to sit in it, have him so much sensory. We also do shaving cream play and finger painting. There are SO many things you can do to get him sensory input so he is not overwhelming the other kids. If you go on google again, they have tons of suggestions. my son also loves hiking! Let me know how it goes!!

he could be sensory seeking. Does you son have Sensory processing disorder? it might seem like he is bugging his siblings, but could just be a form of seeking sensory input.

Thank you for all your suggestions and support. I'm very thankful

My 6 year-old ASD/ADHD daughter enjoys sitting on her 4 year-old brother. He asked me if we could get another sister. Interestingly, she told me she didn't like her brother. A lot of it is sibling rivalry because neither of them get into fights with kids in school. They go to different schools, well, one is a pre-school and the other is a therapy place.

Why do you home school? Sorry if I'm being too nosy but I'm interested in home schooling. I don't know much about home schooling because it didn't exist as an option when I was a kid and never met another person my age who was homeschooled.
