What should I do if my child bites his lips?

The phenomenon of children biting their lips troubles many mothers and they want to solve the problem effectively. So they need to analyze the reasons first, such as whether they cannot be satisfied with sucking, or whether they are looking for a kind of support. They can correct it by diverting the child's attention or going to the hospital to follow the doctor's method.

1. There are several main reasons for biting lips:

1. The sucking instinct is not satisfied;

2. Seek excitement. Biting your lips puts a certain amount of pressure on your lips, which is quite stimulating;

3. When you are lonely and have nothing to do, you look for someone to rely on. This is a kind of reliance.

2. Improvement Methods

1. The "intensity" of the things that distract his attention should be increased, that is, they should be very novel and he should like them very much, and the fun he gets from playing with them should be much greater than that from biting his lips.

2. Don't always pay attention to his behavior, don't be too nervous, and don't nag him. If you keep staring at his behavior, it may make him more persistent in doing this behavior in order to get your attention (children are very concerned about their parents' attention).

3. Let him hug a stuffed toy before going to bed, or tell him a story he likes. If he stops biting his lips, say "good" to him and kiss him as a reward.

4. Take him to the dentist and tell the doctor in advance that the doctor is here to correct his bad behavior of biting his lips. Ask him to cooperate and tell the child that biting his lips will cause his teeth to grow crooked in the future and he will not be able to chew food, so don't bite. Generally speaking, children are more afraid of doctors, and they will listen to what the doctor says, which is more powerful than what their parents say.

5. You can ignore the issue of lip biting for a month (of course you still have to pay attention to it secretly), relax a little, give him a richer life, and delay his sleep time (so that he will be more tired when sleeping). Maybe he will give up automatically and stop biting his lips.
