Hello and thank you for writing to JustAsk,

It has been my experience that some children "rock" for a variety of reasons including: calming themselves, helping to integrate and adjust to changes of stimuli in their environment (such as loud music that can agitate some children), habitual reasons (like to repeat the movement and have a need to be perseverative) or for enjoyment. Sometimes rocking is paired with vocalizations, too- such as humming.

Not all children with learning challenges rock, including those with autism.

Thanks for asking your question-

it sooting and if you want to corrected you must replace it with something else because if not you will create worse behavioural issues.
