DD, 7, is biting herself on the hand when she needs to calm down. We have a typically busy and stressful household - DH and I both work full time and I commute so we are always running around. DD gets overwrought and sometimes has a meltdown at bedtime over something trivial and she says she bites her teddies or her duvet then. She also bit her hand this morning when something didn't go her way.
Obviously it is an outlet for her to let her feelings out and I will have a proper chat with DH tonight about how we can make the household calmer to help but is there anything else I can do? I wondered about contacting the school nurse...
