Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi!I have a 7 year old who once a year seems to come up with a weird behaviour and do it constantly.Such as this year she is sacking and kicking her clothes till the point of being drenched. And her whole mouth chapped. Last year she would randomly blow. And clear her throat. is this a nervous habit? And how can I get her to stop
I went through your details. From the given information it seems that your child is following some obsessive behavior pattern which makes her satisfied. At the age of 7, children are under a developing stage named anal stage (according to psychological theories). During this stage, they are supposed to be given love, affection and identification along with toilet training. Need to identify where and what went wrong and for that you need to consult a psychologist for counseling sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is what the child need at this juncture. Nothing to worry.
