Concerned for my Nephew

by Melissa Martin
(Canada)

I am worried about my 2 year old nephew, he is an extremely hyper little boy but to calm himself down he curls up in a blanket and smell your feet. It makes me uncomfortable and when you move your feet away my sister says let him smell your feet, I looked over your sensory checklist and this wasn't on there, my son was diagnosed with asd and has some of those sensory disorders listed above but my son and is cousin are like night and day. Mine is extremely calm and has mostly motor sensory.

the wrapping self in a blanket is common for pressure and soothing and calming. the feet smelling, i'm not so sure of. personally that is not a habit i would want my child to take hold of, nor as a family member support. imagine what that would look like when he's dating and needs to calm down and wants to smell his date's feet. ;) i would look for some type of replacement smell that soothes or is pleasant. or go with another sensory tool all together.

good luck.
