A. hello mum the cause is not entirely clear it appears to have a behavioral basis although some children may eat dirt or other substances because they are deficient in certain nutrients doctors can help parents manage and stop this Behaviour for example they can work with parents on ways to prevent kids from getting the non food things they eat
