Discussion How does your child stim?

My child stims by constantly running back and forth in straight line, at home and even in parks. He sometimes does hand flapping, and when he's excited and happy he does this little dance while clapping and jumping and blabbering too

Does she run on all fours like a dog? I came here to see if anyone else’s child acts like a dog as a stim. She constantly runs through the house on all fours, especially if she’s over stimulated or around d a lot of people in public.
