Nail Biting in Toddlers
MY 2 1/2 YEAR OLD TODDLER JUST STARTED SUCKING HER BOTTOM LIP…?
Jan 5th
Question by TIGGER911_69:
My 2 1/2 year old toddler just started sucking her bottom lip…?
and her bottom lip is already irritated, and the skin underneath her bottom lip is red and it looks as though blisters are appearing. I have only seen her actually suck on her lip once, (tonight) right before bed. She just started daycare and I am scared she is doing this out of nervousness. How can I get her to stop before it damages her teeth and turns into a big ordeal? I have spoken to her about how she is giving herself an “owie” and shown her the damage in the mirror. But she is only 2.. what can i do besides putting something “that tastes yucky” on her face? She also has been biting her nails to the nubbs sense she was 1.. I have not had to cut her nails in a year and a half!
p.s. she is a very outgoing, talkative little girl and only seems insecure when being introduced to children, not adults.
help please!

MY ALMOST 9 YR. OLD DAUGHTER SUCKS HER TONGUE TO FALL TO SLEEP & WANTS TO KICK THE HABIT?
Nov 10th
Question by K C:
My almost 9 yr. old daughter sucks her tongue to fall to sleep & wants to kick the habit?
She has had this habit since she was an infant & she was breastfed. I did read those comments, but now she is so much older it is more of a habit like nail biting than anything else, not even security anymore. When she was a toddler she added a teddy/blankie to the habit. She actually wants to stop, but needs some ideas on how to fall to sleep without this habit. Any thoughts? Suggestions? I appreciate any help.

CAN A 2 YEAR OLD HAVE STRESS?
Oct 29th
Question by Patricia K:
Can a 2 year old have stress?
Our 2 year old grandaughter always had a pacifier. When she turned 2 our daughter took the pacifier away cold turkey. This baby had about 5 or 6 paci’s in her bed every night. She was such a good sleeper when she was on the paci. Now, it has been a month since she has not had it, but she has become nervous, bites her nails, does not go to bed, she is now sleeping in her parents bed. And just yesterday, she has now broke out with what the pediatrician says is hives. She was always a quiet low maintenance toddler, but now it seems that since she does not have a paci, she is a absolutely different child. Do you think that since the paci was taken away abruptly that this is causing her stress and, in turn, making her break out in hives, and biting her nails?
