Today I share with you 3 possible causes that can give rise to this behavior
PLEASURE: in most cases people perform this act unconsciously so it is important NOT TO EXPOSE THEM publicly.
The use of “teether” is advised temporarily to help eradicate the behavior.
DEPENDENCE: some children with characteristics dependent on their caregivers / parents reflect this behavior as a sign of their separation anxiety.
It is important to promote INDEPENDENCE and AUTONOMY in children.
This will affect your emotional security.
RELEASE TENSION / STRESS: when children and young people are subjected to strenuous routines, lack of sleep, little time to play freely and rigid environmental demands.
This behavior often arises as a physical means to release tension and stress to which they are subjected.
Check if in your weekly routine your children have time to:
Break
Play freely
Sleep the hours they need according to their age.
It is important to recognize that this mechanism tends to have a significant anxiety base, so if you observe that this behavior has had an impact on your child’s oral health and hand hygiene, consult a specialist.
