is rocking back and forth normal?!

Tell your dad that I started rocking back and forth when I was about 4, That was in the days before people understood things like ADHD. I am middle age now and I still rock back and forth, usually when I am reading or sitting at my desk doing something on the computer. I graduated top in my class in college and now have a degree in medicine and in law. My friends used to call me "rocket" Now they call me Doctor.

Well, rocking back and forth is often used as a calming technique as a young child/toddler/baby. Its basically a sign that you probably didn't get enough of this when you were young. When I was younger, on often occasions I would find myself doing this, only very subtle and short rocking movements. Now im 18, and no longer do it, but unless its like something you do without even realizing it, or something that impares your judgments/actions ect than you should seek help of a counsler so they can discuss different calming techniques. But no, you arnt mental unstable, just able to calm yourself the old fashioned way :) its habit
good luck!

no you do not hav e a mental disability. It is learned behavior and it relaxes you. hat is your comfort zone.

beng a parent.

man I been rocking seance I was around that age too im 18 now, and I still do it...I think it has something to do with being stressed out with so many things and for some weird reason it makes me feel better.

a girl in my class does that and we all think something is up with her so you have to go to a doctor and that girl is always sick and she is always quiet and doesnt talk much

It's not so much what you are doing , but, why you are doing it
