Hi
My 3 yr old ds constantly has his hands, toys, any object he can find in his mouth. I just caught him running his tongue across the radiator!! Bit chews his clothes, toys as well.
I have tried asking him to stop (constantly), just moving his hand away. But it's like its a subconscious bad habit.
He has a red rash around his mouth as he dribbles when he's sucking things.
Will he just grow out of it? How can I discourage it?
