1 Answer

Lovleena MishraMom of 2 children4 years ago

A. This condition is known as Pica. This is an eating disorder. Pica can lead to serious health problems, both physical and emotional. The development of pica is mostly due to a deficiency in vitamins and minerals or in some cases due to mental health issues. This can cause problems in the digestive system and delays in development. Consult with your doctor who can prescribe mineral and vitamin supplements after proper examination of your kid. Avoid strict punishments when the child displays such behaviour and practice reinforcing actions that are positive when the child avoids pica behaviour. Work on communication skills and increase communication with your child.
