Hello, thank you for this. I hope you can also discuss about stimming behaviour (kinds of stimming) and how can we do about it, are there tips to manage it🙂. Thank you in advance. I really love watching your channel.
Hi! Thanks for your feedback! We do have have a podcast - All Things Sensory - and an episode about stimming that might be helpful!

thankyou so much for making this video. at the end you mentioned to do linear vestibular exercises. please share some examples exercises. mu 8 yr old regressed in toilteing will those exercises can help? thanks
You're welcome!
Linear vestibular input is any movement that is not rotary - so sitting on a porch swing and swinging back and forth, for example.
Definitely check out our video and podcast episodes (All Things Sensory Podcast) about vestibular input for more info!
@@HarklaFamily thank you so much
love the video! esp loving the extra effort of editing when talking about public restroom 😂 btw, my kid already knows to go to the toilet for peeing but still insist on using the diaper for pooping. she is a 6 year old with speech delay. she refuse to poop in toilet because she feels disgusted by her own poop. may i know what are ur suggestions for this?
So happy the video was helpful! Check out this podcast episode for some ideas on your question - harkla.co/blogs/podcast/41-all-things-poo-2-0?_pos=2&_sid=87b37cba0&_ss=r
@@HarklaFamily thank u so much for the reply! ok ill listen to the podcast 😊
I wish I found this years ago.... 😢
My kid had and still has a huge issue with the toilet. She's fully trained but will hold it till she has to go right now and it leads to hygiene issues.
She's 5 and at school its a big issue which is why we started her in prek at 5.
So tough! We have more resources on toileting and potty training on our website and our podcast, All Things Sensory!
Hai this is Sathish
How to schedule for stool holding situation for ASD children
We want to figure out WHY the child is holding their BM. Try this podcast episode harkla.co/blogs/podcast/41-all-things-poo-2-0?_pos=2&_sid=87b37cba0&_ss=r
My son is 3 and had a bad episode with hard stool and for months now has been refusing to poop , its getting worse and worse each day
We'd highly recommend getting in to see an occupational therapist who can work on this with you! Also looking for a good functional medicine practitioner who can help address nutrition that might be affecting stool!
