    I think it's a child who is hungry and likes to eat, but has nothing to eat, so he can only smack his fingers. A child's mouth, in fact, just likes to eat all the time, once you don't have anything around you, he will eat something earlier to play with and his fingers are the closest thing to him, so he will sniff his fingers.

    I think the most important reason why children like to extract their fingers is because they often drink breast milk when they are young, so they will feel that if they don't have breast milk, they will cut off their fingers to express that they are hungry, so you see a lot of children will like to extract their fingers.

    Because they can be fresh weaned or whatever, at this time they will still remember the breast milk or the pacifier, and the finger is a substitute that can give them a sense of security. In this case, there is no need to hinder the child too much, just keep the child's hands clean and hygienic every day.

    Before a child learns to touch and perceive the world with his hands like an adult, it is through his mouth, which is what Freud called the lip period, when he will shock his fingers into his mouth when he gets anything. And it is said that sucking fingers develops intelligence. As the baby grows up day by day, the psychological behavior will also change, and the 3-month-old baby begins to be interested in his little hands, likes to look at his hands, and sometimes puts his hands in his mouth to taste, and eats with relish.

    Because for children, they don't understand anything, especially for a few months or a month or two, most of them are full of curiosity about everything in the world, and they are full of novelty about everything, and they feel that everything is very fun, so at that time, fingers are fun things for them.

    Eating hands is a common problem in children, and eating fingers in young children indicates attachment to breast milk. Generally, after the age of two or three, the habit of eating hands gradually disappears. However, if you still have the habit of eating hands at the age of 4, you may have physical or psychological problems.

    Physical problems: such as lack of trace elements such as zinc and iron in the body. Psychological problems:

    Eating hands is an outward manifestation of psychological problems, such as depression, anxiety, and compulsion. It is recommended that parents first take their children to do a trace element test, and if there is a lack of trace elements, they should supplement it in time. If it is a psychological problem caused by the pressure brought to the child by family conflicts, it is necessary to communicate with the child in time to relieve their pressure.

    To help your child break the habit of eating hands, remember not to take strong measures, but to encourage them. It is recommended that you try the following: when your child eats his hands, find a way to distract them from more interesting things, so that they stop eating their hands, and over time, the bad habits will gradually fade away.

    At the same time, you also need to explain some reasoning to him: if your hands are dirty, there will be ugly scars on your hands, etc. If your baby heeds the advice and puts his hand down and doesn't eat, praise him in time and give them some small rewards.
