“He Can’t Sit Still. He Climbs Everything.
He Spins Till He Falls. Then Gets Up And Spins Again.”
Suresh’s son, Arnav, was 4.
He ran from room to room. Climbed shelves. Jumped on beds. Spun in circles.
He wasn’t aggressive — but he was everywhere.
“We child-proofed every corner of the house.
And still… we couldn’t keep up.”
Family said:
“Boys are like that.”
Teachers said:
“He’s too disruptive.”
But suresh knew:
“This wasn’t energy. It was something else.”
🧠 When Movement Isn’t Mischief — It’s Sensory
At Pinnacle® Gajuwaka, occupational therapists explain:
“Children with proprioceptive sensory-seeking behaviors don’t move to misbehave.
They move to feel regulated. Movement calms them — because their body’s awareness system is under-responsive.”
Common signs:
- Constant running, jumping, crashing
- Preferring pressure, weight, spinning
- Clumsy, uncoordinated, tireless
- Meltdowns if movement is restricted
- Overstimulation after sitting still
📞 The Moment They Realized “Tired” Wasn’t the Goal
suresh and his wife thought exhausting their son would solve it.
Park. Trampoline. Walks.
But after hours of play, he was more wired. Not calmer.
“We didn’t need to wear him out. We needed to help him regulate.”
They called 9100 181 181, and got a free AbilityScore©® OT Screening at Pinnacle® Gajuwaka.

He wasn’t wild.
He was seeking stimulation — to feel safe in his own body.
🤖 How TherapeuticAI©® Redirected The Chaos
Instead of trying to control his energy, therapy:
- Structured it
- Used it
- Transformed it
Arnav’s plan included:
- Obstacle courses for pressure balance
- Heavy work (pulling, pushing, lifting) to calm the system
- “Spin and pause” regulation drills
- Pre-task movement routine before school
- Home activity kits for parents to channel energy
By week 5:
- He sat through circle time at preschool
- Waited for his turn during snack
- Asked “Jump now?” instead of crashing impulsively
“We didn’t take away his movement. We gave it meaning.”
💬 What His parents Say Now
“You don’t calm a child like Arnav with silence.
You calm him by listening to what his body is asking for — and giving it smartly.”
