Chewing....EVERYTHING!

[ladybirdflies]

I would ask your Dr about it. Some kids need to chew and some grow out of it. You can buy 'chew' things for her, (please don't be offended, it is not supposed to sound like a dog toy) There is a little boy in my childs class who has to chew all the time, he has these little rubber toy around his neck and he munches away and doesn't destruct things around the house or school.

She could have sensory processing disorder (SPD) she may be sensory seeking, her thing is chewing/mouthing things. No amount of telling her to stop, will make her stop.

I just did a google search and it does explain a fair few of her odd behaviours. I think a trip to the doctors is a must tomorrow.

Sounds like my eldest DD. She has what Olive mentioned. Hers is an oral sensory issue. Speaking with an OT will benefit greatly as they can offer different items that are specific to the disorder.

i agree with Rosetti, you might need a referral from your local Dr for someone who works in that field. I just found some of those toys online, check out special needs toys dot com dot au they have some necklaces and pendants which she might like and save your household items!!!
