has she had any changes in her little four year old life lately? some children grow out of certain behaviors and take on other ones to replace them. my son has mild spd and for a long time flapped his hands. we worked on that for a long time and it was replaced with nail biting. it serves a purpose for him. it's an outlet. and it's actually more acceptable than waving your hands around and in other people's faces, so i didn't make an issue of it and it went away. it did also start around the time he began preschool, the nail biting, but it has subsided. chose your battles, especially with kids with spd. :)

Gum chewing, vibrating toothbrush, whistles, blow toys, paint her nails,stress balls. It must be determined of it is a seeking behavior or an organizing behavior.
