I learned not to rock in front of other people because they would get mad or tell me I looked stupid. I usually only rock when Im alone and it is always to calm myself....I guess its the same reason babies like it. I always used to say I liked rocking my babies because it gave me an excuse to do it. My husband and I had to go in for our bankruptcy not long ago and he had to tell me that I was rocking....I was nervous and want even aware I was doing it.
My daughter is a rocker - she doesn't do it in school anymore. She has a teacher who keeps her class open at lunch and allows some of the students to eat there and unwind - she's told me that Steph will come in - plop down and rock. But she never does it in any other class or while she's with a group of other kids. The first thing she does when she gets home is drop her backpack and violin, goes to her room and rocks for a while. She just needs to unwind.
I notice she does it when she's relaxed and comfortable when we're watching a movie or just sitting around talking.
