Why do toddlers rock back and forth when seated?

Truthfully, it means nothing but the child is bored, or on occasion, the child must use the bathroom. Some people scare themselves saying that he may have a defect or something unusual, but it's nothing. Not really, it is something, but nothing to be concerned about negatively. I did post this under "discussion" as this is the first post I did and then copy and pasted it here as this is where I meant to post it. So this is what I posted in Discussion to this question. I have been rocking for 40 years now. The answer is very simple. It is a comforting action. I has nothing to do with not holding your child long enough when was a baby. Or some kind of mental or a physical problem the child could have that result in the child rocking. Like I said I have been doing it for 40 years. I have had 40 years of emotional experiences; I have rocked through all of them. Happy, sad, excited, depressed, anger, and well you get the idea of 40 years of emotional experiences. Rocking has improved all those experiences in a positive way for me over the years. When I am sad it makes me feel better, did not solve for me the reasons I am sad, but made me feel better all the same. When angered or excited it calms me. So it short when negative or even positive things are there I rock when I sit down and it helps, it comforts me. The good things that happen to me I also rock. When happy or good things happen it feels right to rock back and forth and gives me a feeling of pleasurable ease, well-being, and contentment.There has only been one bad thing about rocking. It is what other people have thought about me do to seeing me rock or finding out that I rock. Think of this, you may be hiking on a trail in a forest, most likely you will not see a deer. The deer hear you and are well out of sight before get to where they were. However, if you see a deer you are not all that surprise of the fact to see a deer in a forest, are you? I must admit when I see my reflection in a window or on the TV screen, or what not, I look like a complete idiot, and I know this. I do understand why people can get a negative or concerned reactions to see others rock. It is not like there is so many people out there that when you do see someone rock it is as normal as seeing a deer in a forest, is it? Like a deer the people who do rock will hide this fact to all people the best they can.I still rock after 40 years, but only when I am around people I trust not to judge me for rocking, my wife and children. Now you said, "What does it mean when a child rocks back and forth while setting?". Find out what happen to your child that day by talking to them. Do not address them why they are rocking, but find out there day. Find out what they need comfort for, or why they feel good about. Then you know why they are rocking. It is a self comforting tool I have used before I knew what rocking did for me. Who does not like to be comforted? A condition or feeling of pleasurable ease, well-being, and contentment, well sign me up for more of that. That is why I rock back and forth sitting and standing, sometimes. I believe that is why your child rocks too.


Is rocking back and forth normal or does it signify that you have a psychological problem if it progresses into your adulthood?

Comment: I am a rocker also, and a dr. told me his theory that I do it because I wasn't held enough as a baby, and I'm comforting myself when I do it. It made perfect sense to me. Answer: Your doctor may be correct, but how can we ever know for sure? Personally, I have been rocking while standing as an adult, for many years and I find that I do this most often when I feel anxious and/or stressed. I find that rocking somewhat relieves the tension I feel, and I find it quite soothing. I try not to make a "spectacle" of myself, but find that I even sway back and forth often while I talk with people. I have a good job and I am a lot more stable than most people you run into today. I am not on any medications and I have very nice and well-adjusted grown children. I believe people do naturally what they have to do, in order to compensate for nuturing they did not receive enough of as children - so again, possibly the things you needed more of as a young child were not given to you (or me) as much as they should have been. My mother was an orphan, so perhaps what your doctor said holds some truth. As a very small child, I rocked so much standing in my crib that I developed a "bump" on the back of my head, which remains there today. My mother had me examined by a doctor, and at one time, he was going to surgically remove the knot, but happily left it there. This only goes to show that I have been anxious all of my life and my rocking seemed to suffice. So "rock on" if it helps you through the day - I can think of a lot worse things to be concerned about!

What are stereotypes of autism?

Well, there are few stereotypes of autism. One common stereotype is the autistic savant - many people think that every autistic has some area of incredible talent and is otherwise low functioning, when in fact only a few autistics fit that profile. Many disabilities, autism included, seem to have paired stereotypes of mild and severe. In autism, these are the low functioning and high functioning autism stereotypes. Rather than recognizing that most autistics are medium functioning, many people seem to think there are two distinct subtypes of autism - the nonverbal, self-injurious person in diapers; and the highly intelligent, socially awkward person with mild impairment. A few people, confused by the description of 'lack of empathy', think that autism is similar to psychopathy. In reality, autism is a failure of understanding, not caring. Incidentally, autistic repetitive behaviors are sometimes referred to as 'stereotypies' or 'stereotypical behavior'. This consists of actions like rocking back and forth, hand-flapping, lining up toys, etc. It's unrelated to the usual meaning of stereotypes.

Can someone get a brain aneurysm or die from rocking back and forth regularly?

Since I have been young I can remember rocking back and forth. I would either do it while sitting on my couch or lying in my bed by bashing my head in my pillow. The weird thing was that I only enjoyed doing it while watching TV or listening to music. I especially find it hard to be able to listen to music even when I am in a car without rocking back and forth. My main concern has always been if doing this regularly causes people to have any brain problems that can lead to serious problems or even death. I always hear of cases where a single blow to the head can cause a brain aneurysm that leads to death or cases where people live with a brain aneurysm and do not even realize it. I have been doing this for 19 years now and because I do not know how to stop myself from rocking/ what can happen to you/ what it is called I am more worried.

Why do angelfish swim back and forth?

To get to the other side! Where did you get the back and forth kind? Mine only swim to and fro. In semi-seriousness, angelfish in their natural habitat have freedom of movement and exercise that. In an aquarium, back and forth is the only way to go. If you will allow a moment of anthropomorphism, they're probably looking for the way out.
