A. this is just a habit in your child which can be changed. you can either divert the child or you can talk with the child to change the habit. many times by regular negative feedback mechanism you will be able to change the habit of the child. keep the child busy in something more interesting as well as helpful for overall child development you can take help of your pediatrician . the most common cause would be due to nutritional deficiency there is a possibility that your chfild is having nutritional deficiency which is causing such changes in the child so give plenty of water and seasonal fruits and vegetables and meet your dfoctor who will tell you whether any health supplements in the form of iron calcium vitamin d or multi vitamin is required or not .
