It explains that sensory processing is complex and unique to each individual, emphasizing that there is no 'wrong' way to be. The document defines vestibular seeking as a behavior where individuals look for more movement experiences in everyday situations. It presents common signs, such as a child liking fast movements or spinning, and rocking or spinning excessively. The primary aim suggested for individuals who seek specific sensory information is to increase the intensity of sensory experiences within daily activities by providing regular movement opportunities. The leaflet normalizes a child's desire for movement at this age, as it is crucial for their understanding of themselves and the world. It offers practical ideas for preschool activities like 'wake up, shake up' activities (action songs, nursery rhymes, Dough Disco), and marching in place. For outdoor activities, suggestions include walks, obstacle courses, using a mini trampoline, swings, climbing frames, running, dancing, swimming, and using a sit-and-bounce or space hopper. The document also differentiates between quick/rotational movements, which tend to be alerting, and slow/linear movements, which tend to be calming. It provides advice to add proprioceptive activities if individuals become overly excitable or giddy, with the overall goal of maintaining an optimum arousal state for engagement in play.
