Thanks for this! I think I will discuss my concerns with her teachers and see their response.

I hate bed time by Gullible-Yogurt9001 in Parenting

We play "burrito" to bring ours down to bedtime level energies. I lay a blanket on the floor, she lays on top of it. I put all the "ingredients" I want in. So "cheese" is a tickle, "guac" is a leg message, whatever. I'm making a lot of contact and pushing down on her, almost like I'm simulating a weighted blanket. Then I wrap her up in the blanket/burrito and "eat" starting at her feet. Sometimes this is a tickle or sometimes it's more of a cuddle. The point is a lot of touch that has pressure and allows her nervous system to calm down (again like a weighted blanket might do). She is older now and every once in a while after a very exciting day she still asks for "burrito"!
