I have caught my child put her fingers in her mouth espechially when she is nervous. She gets a bit nevous at night when she is on her own and this morning she had sores on her forehead. We asked her how she did it and wouldnt tell is at first and she said she picked it. She said to help her sleep but we dont know if this is the reaskn. She has bit her two thumbs also at night wich have caused open sores fron her teeth. She has had tonsilitis alot and also wakes up in the bight crying. She also finds it hard to listen to us when we are talking and is always on the go. Just hoping we are not being tough on her as somwtimes when we want to tell her for example not to jump and go crazy on the aofa she doesnt seem to listen is playing with sonething at the time or saying "did you hear that plane?" which can be frustrating as all we want her to don
is understand and so we repet it again which she still seems confused with what we want after. Noises can also get to her and scare her like a plane or sometines loud noises. What could we do to stop her skin picking and chewing and get her to listen without getting distracted?
