Children aged 2-4 can also benefit from being massaged. Children at this age experience a lot of change, such as being separated from their parents and caregivers as they start school, learning to interact independently with peers during playtime, and becoming more aware of playing a ‘big sister’ or ‘big brother’ role. All this can cause your child to feel stressed, even if they may not verbalise or show it. This stress can cause imbalance in the immune system and issues with sleep.
Massage can help a child to reduce stress. Some autistic children may also respond particularly well to massages.
