My 3 year old dd licks everything. I'm slightly concerned.

[beatie]

She's always been a child who explores with her mouth but she still does it frequently. And she licks things.... I find it odd as I notice no other children her age doing this. Will she grow out of it when she gets better impulse control? (she still can't help but touch things she's told not to touch)

Still, I thought they were supposed to have impulse control by now. She's 3y 4m.

what like the kitchen table, toys, windows! Well thats what my ds done he was a nightmare and i used to get really embarrassed, happy to say he has grown out of it, he is nearly 7, but i think he stopped about 4, although now at school he sucks/chews pencils

Yes - she licks the bathroom sink :blush

even

wouldn't worry too much, all i can say is that from about 5m old my ds chewed/licked/sucked all his baby toys, and he didn't have one whole book as a toddler as he chewwed them all up, also just had a flash back of him sucking tags/labels(i see there is now a soft book with tags on it, my ds would have loved this when he was a bay)

Oh yes, our buggy book disintegrated bfore she reached one. I pushed it around with one dog eared-chewed page hanging off the connector for so long.

She licks the table too.

same here beatie, same hear lol

Just signed up to this so very new just wanted to know whether anybody else have been through it with their child my daughter is nearly 4 bday next week and I've been reading some of the posts on here and thinking to myself that it's normal my daughters licks everythink it can get worser like she had licked a pole full of dirty water and I've told her off for doing it and said that's very dirty to do you will get poorly is it worth me having a word with health visitor
