    I believe everyone has seen the phenomenon of babies eating hands, and almost every child has a hobby of eating hands. This is an inevitable behavior for children at a certain stage, and parents should not worry too much. Many parents think that it is not a good habit for babies to eat their hands, and they are also prone to diseases.

    So, should babies eat their fingers to be stopped?

    When babies explore the world, the first method they use is to eat their hands. At this time, the baby's brain is not fully developed, and he does not think that the hand is his body organ, and feels that the hand is an external object, so parents often see the baby eating hands, eating clothes and biting toys.

    Eating fingers is a stage that children will inevitably go through in development, and babies can be comforted by eating fingers, which can also promote the development of the baby's brain and enhance body coordination, so parents do not need to stop the baby's hand-eating behavior. If parents forcibly stop their children from eating their hands, it is easier for them to rebel. Foreign research institutions have found that if parents forcibly prevent the baby from eating hands, when the child's oral desire is not treated correctly, the desire to attack the child will be very strong when he grows up.

    It is normal for babies to eat hands before the age of 2, it is their own psychological needs, and parents do not need to stop it. However, when the baby reaches the age of age, there is still a habit of eating hands, which should be stopped and corrected. Failure to do so will cause adverse effects on the mouth and teeth.

    The habit of eating hands is the normal development of children's finger touch function. At this time, the child will often eat his fingers in his free time, and will often put the things around him in his mouth and chew it, which is a habit that makes the mother very annoyed. Therefore, many mothers will try to use various methods to organize their children's eating hands, but in fact, these practices are not advisable and will limit the normal development of children.

    As long as it does not cause peeling and deformation of fingers, children's habit of eating hands should not be stopped.

    Children's habit of eating hands is generally corrected by the child after about a week of arrival. If the child's finger eating does not cause the finger to fall off, paronychia, finger bending and deformation, etc., there is no need to impose a stop. Just wash your child's hands often, and pay attention to toys and hygiene at home.

    When parents correct the phenomenon of children eating fingers, they should communicate with their children in advance and do not think that children will not understand. At the same time, it is necessary to point out in a calm, patient tone that the child is overly dependent on the habit of eating fingers. Remember to use a rough, ridiculous approach to educating your child, which can easily backfire.
