Trying to understand her behavior so I can hopefully figure out a way to help them both. She literally bothers her younger siblings all day. Touching, pushing, knocking over, hugging, anything and everything to bother them. What could she be seeking that I can give her so her siblings don’t have to suffer?

Negative attention is better than no attention

Is she the oldest? She might feel they are stealing all the attention. Or she wants to be helpful but doesn’t know how. I would use her to help, ask her to bring the diaper, ask her to help them open a snack, to help dress them, to help them play etc.. tell her she’s your big helper and involve her in their lives in a positive way.

My 6 year old ds does this as well.
It drives me crazy.

Is she sensory seeking in general?

I have this with my 4 yr old. I researched sensory processing disorder and started giving him big tight hugs every time. There are other grounding activities to do as well. This has been helping greatly so far.
