    6 year old has bad chewing habit
    My younger daughter ( who by the way just had her 6th birthday) has started chewing on things like her fingers and anything made of plastic I have to constantly tell her to take them out of her mouth and snatch them from her. I thought that was supposed to be a stage they passed when they were much younger but apparently not. I asked her if her teeth hurt but she says " na uh" so I don't know what the deal is.

    Is it maybe because you stopped her dummy at a young age?
    I don't have kids myself, so I doubt I could be of a lot of help.

    Articles by Dr. Noel Swanson

    Hi dear, I'm a little rusty, as Jaime is already 29, but I found a site of a person who impressed me, and he's got a free newletter with a link to his previous articles.

    Try it out and see if some of his advice works for you.

    If you find any sites of interest, please share them with Orange (she's got an instant family now, with one on the way) and myself.

    Wishing you all the best, and sending you lots of hugs!!
