My four yr old son mouths and chews objects. Not just clothing (as seen on previous posts) but my things, toys, money (coins seen on x-ray!) anything seems to be fair game and no matter how much I explain he will be ill/ tell him off/ remove stuff/ naughty step etc it continues. It actually makes me feel angry now as things getting spoilt. he has just chewed new babys toy to bits and now he is sat with lego in his mouth.
This has been going on since he could mouth stuff but it is getting no better and he is due to start school september and I am worried he will eat his wayn through reception. he often has unusual stools and tummy ache but nothing seems to stop him. He has a dummy still at night which I am loath to remove yet (school, new baby etc)as I think he needs some comfort. Other than giving him a "dog toy" to stop him eating other things I am stuck. Please any ideas.
