I'm not sure if I should just pass this off as a phase or be a little concerned. Recently, my 3 yr old daughter has started spitting - not in an angry, temper tantrum way - she almost does it absent mindedly. I noticed her spitting on the floor the other day so told her if she needed to spit, please do it in the sink or a tissue. Perfectly happy with my suggestion she took herself off to the sink about 5 times within half an hour. She now doesnt bother with the sink & just wipes it away on her sleeve. It's not even an attention thing - I just put her to bed & she was still doing it half asleep. Has anyone else experienced this?
