How much baby behaviour do your kids do? My oldest is nearly 4 but has 2 younger siblings so copies a lot of his siblings baby behaviour, particularly because he sees them getting more attention. I have a big issue with sucking, licking and mouthing things and am trying to chill out about it. I just can't stand dribbly hands/finger/toys/arms. I don't know how I'd cope if they were finger/thumb suckers like I was!

My 4 year old eats things she shouldn't still....paper, small toys etc. It's very normal. She only has an older sibling so is not copying. I don't like cold dribble either...I just make her wash her hands or the item she's drooled over!

We have a smaller sink in the downstairs loo and she knows that if she's made a mess of something she has to wash it. I also make her put her own rubbish in the bin.
