What if children always eat their hands?

Question1:What should a 5-year-old child do if he always eats his hands? Eating hands is a common problem for children, and eating fingers shows their attachment to breast milk. Generally, after two or three years old, children's habit of eating hands gradually disappears. But if you still eat your hands at the age of 4, it may be a physical or psychological problem. Physical problems: such as the lack of trace elements such as zinc and iron in the body. Psychological problems: Eating hands is the external manifestation of psychological problems, such as depression, anxiety and compulsion. Parents are advised to take their children for trace element testing first. If trace elements are lacking, they should be supplemented in time. If it is a psychological problem caused by family conflicts, it is necessary to communicate with children in time to reduce their pressure. Help children get rid of the habit of eating their hands. Remember not to take tough measures, but to encourage them. I suggest you try the following: when children eat their hands, try to divert their attention and let more interesting things attract them, so as to stop eating their hands. Over time, bad habits will fade away. At the same time, you need to tell him something: if you eat your hands dirty, you will leave ugly scars on your hands and so on. If the baby listens to the advice and stops eating, praise him in time and give them some small rewards. This will not happen overnight, it needs your patience and hard work.

Question 2: Children are over 3 years old and always like to eat their hands. What happened? It is a bad habit for children to eat their hands and feet. Many children have changed from loving milk to fetishism. Some like sucking fingers, some like sucking lower lip, some like sucking quilt corners, and some like biting nails. These habits first appeared, and parents ignored them and did not correct them. It was not until the children grew up and kept this habit that parents began to worry. Don't hit the child to scare him, so the child will only be afraid for a while and will still hold me back in the future. I suggest not mentioning it as much as possible, otherwise it will be easier to strengthen his bad habits. Parents should divert their children's attention when they eat their hands and feet. Tell children stories, play games, hide and seek, draw pictures, etc. That I forgot to eat my hands and feet after the target was transferred. This correction will take a long time. Parents need patience, no abuse, no intimidation, perseverance, and eventually the child will get rid of this habit. Follow-up: Will excessive lead lead also cause children to eat their hands? A: If the lead content is too high, it will lead to children's IQ decline, hyperactivity, inattention, slow response, impaired vision and hearing, learning difficulties, developmental retardation, picky eaters, easy to catch a cold, decreased immunity, personality changes and other symptoms. The reactions of children with high lead content are yellowing, growth retardation, constipation, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and inattention, which mainly come from environmental pollution. Dietotherapy to expel lead is one of the ideal methods. Parents can intentionally let their children eat the following foods rich in vitamin C (1). Vitamin C combines with lead to form water-insoluble food, which is excreted with feces. Take at least 150 mg of vitamin C every day, and the number of people with lead poisoning symptoms will increase to 200 mg. Vitamin C is widely found in fruits, vegetables and leaves of some plants. Sour fruits, such as oranges, lemons, pomegranate and hawthorn, are the most abundant, especially jujube. Apples, strawberries, fresh peppers, cabbages, garlic sprouts, sherry red, tomatoes and cauliflower also contain vitamin C. (2) Foods rich in protein and iron. Protein and iron can combine with organic substances in tissues instead of lead and accelerate the metabolism of lead. Foods containing high-quality protein include eggs, milk, lean meat, etc. Green leafy vegetables and fruits rich in iron include spinach, celery, rape, radish, tassel, amaranth, shepherd's purse, tomato, citrus, peach, plum, apricot, pineapple and red dates. (3) Allicin. Allicin in garlic can combine with lead to become a non-toxic compound, so the incidence of lead poisoning is reduced by 60% for workers engaged in lead operations who eat a small amount of garlic every day compared with those who don't eat garlic. In addition, pectin can inhibit the absorption of lead, and yogurt can reduce the absorption of lead by gastrointestinal peristalsis, so it should also be suitable for children.

Question 3: Why do six-year-old children always eat their hands? When a baby is born, his lips touch his mother's * * *, and he will suck spontaneously, which is a physiological sucking reflex. When they are hungry, no matter what their lips touch, they will cause sucking reflex and even suck spontaneously when they are asleep. A little older, when hungry, most babies (90% babies) will put their fingers in their mouths to suck, which is normal, so parents don't have to care too much. After 2 ~ 3 years old, the baby will eat when he is hungry, and this phenomenon of sucking fingers gradually disappears. When the baby is 4 years old, he still eats his hands, even biting his nails, biting the corner of the quilt and biting the cuffs of clothes. This may be a behavioral problem and needs to be corrected. Babies eat their hands for a reason. Babies need to suck. Newborn babies are born to suck. If sucking is not enough, he will try to satisfy himself-sucking his fingers, which is a substitute and comfort. Eating hands is the baby's call for love. Mom, dad or caregivers rarely touch the baby's skin, and rarely talk or play games with the baby. When the baby is hungry or sick, it can't be comforted in time.

Nowadays, families are generally a treasure, and children are inevitably lonely. If children often play with toys and watch TV alone at home, they will inevitably feel lonely, lonely and bored, and children will eat their hands to relieve loneliness. The attitude of parents has been strengthened ―― the baby eats his hands.

Some parents let their babies eat their hands and don't find reasons to correct them in time, so that eating their hands has become an addiction. It is harmful for babies to eat their hands. Many-handed babies often eat their hands, and their small hands are soaked in saliva and oppressed by their teeth. Over time, their fingers are easy to fall off, swell, infect and deform. Teeth with small hands in the mouth may affect teething. After a long time, it may cause irregular tooth arrangement and poor tooth closure.

Spend more time with your baby. Mom and dad should hug and spend more time with the baby, carefully distinguish the baby's various requirements and meet his various needs. Conditional mothers can touch the baby before going to bed, tell the baby relaxed stories and read catchy children's songs, so that the baby can fall asleep happily and feel safe, happy and satisfied at all times. 3.

Question 7: Children always eat fingernails. What is the reason and how to deal with it? Children love to bite their nails, which sometimes reflects a psychological mood, such as tension, depression, depression, inferiority, hostility and other emotional States. The root cause may be insufficient attention or insecurity. Moreover, some children are often criticized and reprimanded by teachers and parents for biting their fingernails, which will lead to nervous and anxious emotions and become secondary mental factors. Psychotherapy and behavior correction can be used to correct children's habit of biting their nails, mainly by patient persuasion and encouragement. Usually, children should be given more psychological attention to eliminate the factors that lead to children's nervousness. Guide children to participate in more recreational activities and make more friends, for example, let children play games with other children to divert their attention. Parents should be patient and confident, never use corporal punishment, never reprimand loudly, and never forcibly pull the child's finger out of his mouth, which may subconsciously aggravate the child's habit of biting nails. To cultivate children's good hygiene habits, trim their nails as usual. For older children, you can tell them the dangers of biting their nails in a reasonable way.

Question 8: What should children do if they always eat their hands? The best way for mothers to correct this bad habit is to provide some interesting things to distract their attention when they find that the little ones are about to put their fingers in their mouths. For example, before going to bed, this is the most common time to suck your fingers. Telling a short story, or kissing the baby well and giving him extra attention can all play a certain role. In addition, you can also prepare a plush toy for him to sleep with and let him occupy the whole arm of the little guy. If the baby insists on putting his finger in his mouth, wait until he falls asleep and then gently take it out.

Countermeasures 1: Let the baby develop a good habit of loving cleanliness and hygiene.

If the baby eats fingers to meet his physiological needs, parents don't need to worry too much, just pay attention to the cleanliness of toys and the hygiene of fingers, that is, always clean toys and baby's small hands. Therefore, parents should let their babies develop a good habit of loving cleanliness and hygiene from an early age. Once bad habits are found, they should be reminded at any time, and parents should set an example themselves so that their babies can have good imitators.

Countermeasure 2: provide your baby with a variety of senses.

Parents should pay attention to the baby's development in infancy, such as breastfeeding as much as possible when the baby is born, so that the baby can get a good oral experience. Or provide some substitutes such as pacifiers or other non-toxic toys for the baby to "eat" and enrich the baby's oral experience. In addition, parents should provide their children with all kinds of toys or teaching AIDS, let them play with their hands, and enrich their life horizons with sensory contact experiences such as vision, hearing and smell.

Countermeasure 3: Give your baby a stable and healthy environment.

The ideal growth environment should be a simple and stable environment, which makes the baby emotionally stable and easy to concentrate. Frequent moving will bring insecurity to the baby, so it is best for parents not to move frequently and change the environment so that their children can get a stable and healthy environment.

Countermeasure 4: Parents should spend more time with their babies.

The baby's fear is due to the lack of security, and the baby's sense of security mainly comes from mom and dad. Therefore, although many parents have to go to work now, you should spend more time with your baby after work or on holidays. Before going to bed, you can give your baby opportunities for parent-child interaction such as bathing, sharing life and telling stories. With your company, I believe the baby will grow up healthily!

Countermeasure 5: Teach your baby to speak completely.

The baby eats his fingers because he is afraid to make a sound. If we teach him to speak out his fears, maybe he won't "eat" his fingers. Therefore, parents should teach their baby to speak completely and let him learn to express his fears in words.

Countermeasure 6: Let the baby be empty-handed and have something to do.

If you want your baby to get rid of the bad habit of "eating" fingers, the best way is to let his hands open, give full play to his creativity and let him have something to do. This will make him forget this habit and get rid of it unconsciously.

Countermeasure 7: Find a partner for the baby to work together.

Tell your children that many children like to suck their fingers when they are young, even their parents will do the same when they are young, but this is only for a while, and few people like to eat their hands like him. At the same time, mom and dad also know that not eating your hands can sometimes make you uncomfortable, and many people can't easily get rid of a habit, so we should work together to make your mouth and little finger say goodbye.

Countermeasure 7: Positive guidance

It is not correct to keep nagging, telling jokes or threatening children what to do if they eat their fingers again. In this way, children will want to suck their hands more. Say to him: "Your fingers look like a baby, but you are so old, I don't want others to laugh at you as a baby."

Countermeasure 8: Appropriate encouragement

Make a special calendar with your children. If he eats less, encourage him with stickers or stars, and then hold a small "farewell party" as a reward after he says goodbye to his fingers completely.

Special reminder: throw away the old methods.

There is another method, which your parents may have tried when you were a child, that is, putting all kinds of substances that may disgust you on your fingers, but it is best not to experiment on your children, because you are not sure what effect these ingredients will have on them. You can let your child choose his favorite cloth belt to wrap his fingers and joke that his little hands are shy, thus setting a natural obstacle for him. ...& gt& gt
