Some children flap their arms as a form of self-stimulatory behavior, often referred to as stimming. This can occur in neurodivergent individuals, including those with autism spectrum disorder, as a way to express excitement, manage anxiety, or seek sensory input. Arm flapping can help them self-regulate emotions and cope with overwhelming environments. It's a natural behavior that varies among children and is generally harmless.
