Flap your hands

Flap Your Hands is a joyful picture book about four neurodivergent children who use stimming to manage stress and big feelings. Through movements like hand-flapping, finger-fluttering and kicking, the story shows that stimming is a natural, healthy way to self-regulate and feel calm again.

Why it helps: This book helps children understand that stimming is a normal and helpful way to manage emotions, stress and sensory overload. It celebrates neurodivergent movement, encourages self-acceptance, and helps others see stimming as healthy rather than something to stop.
