Eating hands is a common problem for children, and eating fingers shows their attachment to breast milk. Generally, after two or three years old, children's habit of eating hands gradually disappears. But if you still eat your hands at the age of 4, it may be a physical or psychological problem. Physical problems: such as the lack of trace elements such as zinc and iron in the body. Psychological problems: Eating hands is the external manifestation of psychological problems, such as depression, anxiety and compulsion. Parents are advised to take their children for trace element testing first. If trace elements are lacking, they should be supplemented in time. If it is a psychological problem caused by family conflicts, it is necessary to communicate with children in time to reduce their pressure. Help children get rid of the habit of eating their hands. Remember not to take tough measures, but to encourage them. I suggest you try the following: when children eat their hands, try to divert their attention and let more interesting things attract them, so as to stop eating their hands. Over time, bad habits will fade away. At the same time, you need to tell him something: if you eat your hands dirty, you will leave ugly scars on your hands and so on. If the baby listens to the advice and stops eating, praise him in time and give them some small rewards.
