It is a particularly unhealthy bad habit for children to eat their fingers. When you find your child eating fingers, don't be nervous and depressed at first, because more than half of the children will stop eating fingers in about 7 months. Some children may need to grow up to stop biting their fingers. All you have to do is wait patiently. Unless the child is still sucking his fingers when he is about 5 years old, you need to worry. If the child is still eating his fingers in primary school, he needs to see a pediatrician in time.

Children can also use distractions. For example, my son is in the second grade of primary school, and he puts his finger in his mouth whenever he has time. Later, he thought of a way to buy him an upgraded version of the classic version of Hu Xiaoxiao's diary. He is completely immersed in the book. This set of books not only got rid of his bad habits.
