POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy4 years agoA. Therapy, medication or both are prescribed by doctors when pica is caused due to mental health issues like OCD.
Since neglect could be a cause for pica, it is advised to work on communication skills and increase communication with the child.
Create a special box which is filled with edible food that the child can opt from as opposed to the non-food item that the child reaches for.
Avoid any negative actions like strict punishments when the child displays such behaviour, and practice reinforcing actions that are positive when the child avoids pica behaviour.
