This habit of eating non edible things is called as Pica generally related to nutrient deficiency , as the child is fond of mud is more of calcium .
give him calcium rich foods , and also , stop him immediately as you see him eat, and through playway method you could probably teach the child between edible and non edible things
RashmiMom of a 11 yr 5 m old girl2 days agoA. Pica is an issue in which kids actually like to have a lot of edible stuff as you mentioned so this can be associated with that or purely with deficiency of calcium but you should consult your doctor in this regard to have a better understanding of the issue and the solution associated with it
