How do I stop my 3yr old from eating everything but food?

[rosiebell]

I have had this problem for as long as I can remember - my 3yr girl still continues to put everything in her mouth. This will include anything from eating crayons felt tip pens sand soil glue suncream paint even cat food, she loves wipes and tissue paper as well. I have used the step which works for everything else. I have also ignored her so I am not giving her attention for bad behaviour. Just to add she is not very good at eating actual food. Any ideas anybody.

my ds(5) did this quite a bit as well. i think he is a bit of a fidget and just does it without thinking. keep saying no when she does it and it may eventually work. my son doesn't do it much now but it did take a while! good luck
