- Is it Pica? Something else? Three reasons why some children are constantly placing objects their mouth.
This is not medical advice. I recommend seeking a medical evaluation from your healthcare provider for professional care and treatment.

Thank you.
This is really great 👍
But for a child who Gags, chokes and drool often what can an occupational therapist do to help?
Thank you! With a child that gags and chokes often, I've typically experienced the child getting assessed for dysphagia or other conditions by a medical doctor and/or a speech language pathologist. This may include getting a swallow study done depending on the severity. All of the assessments and referrals would be initiated by a medical doctor.
I have an 11 year old who still put everything in her mouth, she doesn’t eat any of it but chews everything from bottle tops, bits of plastic, pens, clothes it’s always been a problem and nothing I can do stops her.
Omg my 6 year old! Same thing.
Thank you both for sharing. Must be very frustrating for you. If your kids are not stopping, I hope you are starting to explore ways to provide your children safe objects that they can place in their mouth instead of the unsafe objects
@@timitherapymy 5 years old does that too
@@afsahfarooq710 Thanks for sharing. Some parents have had luck giving their child chewy toys to help, but you’d need to reach out to your child’s doctor or OT to see if that would be appropriate for your child
What about kids that walk on there tippy toes and don’t like wearing shoes ?
Toe walking is pretty common and could be for a variety of reasons.. I'll add that to my video list, thanks for the idea!
As far as the shoes... could be from a sensory standpoint of not liking the feeling of socks/shoes OR if the child prefers to toe walk, maybe the shoes they are wearing is stopping them getting into that preferred position? Can't be sure without knowing the child, these are just a few ideas to ponder :)
It could also be autism some times if you have aurisim you hate the feeling of stuff
Thanks alot ma'am.
Please ma, how do I help a 3 years old child with speech delay? He also have this habit of putting things in his mouth as well.
Hello my son have the same problems ..can u tell me now how is ur baby doing?
I was asked to get pica friendly blankets & comforters for my adult autistic Down’s syndrome brother. All I can find is hospital grade blankets. I don’t know anyone to ask to find out if this will be fine.
Hmm, I'm not too sure. I haven't heard of any particular brands or materials. I would assume the hospital grade ones would be tear proof? This person's doctor may have some suggestions
My son is currently 11 months old, and every new toy goes to his mouth. But if I show him how to play with it he dosent put it back or once he realize it's not ateable. But in general, he's a chronic biter. It's gotten worse since he started teething. He has 6 teeth, 4 on top and 2 on the bottom I don't think his gums are bothering him but he just bites everything. He bites the table he bite a card board book and saturated it till it tore off and started chewing it. Idk he flickers his hands/fingers a lot by the way.
Thank you for this video, this channel is much appreciated ❤️
Can you please tell me how I can get in contact with you ? I need help with my toddler. Thank you
Thanks for your comment. My contact information is listed in the "about" section of my CZcams page.
My toddler recently turned 2 .She puts everything in mouth which she sees 1st time .Any new object she wants to feel it through her mouth .Can please suggest how to stop that TIA
Thanks for watching! Seems like she might be using that as a way to explore the objects? I wonder if she continues to do that after the object is no longer "new" to her? If so, she may need to see other ways she can play/explore the objects she has.
I can’t be sure since I don’t know her. If you have concerns, I highly recommend you reach out to her doctor!
My daughter,she's 3yr and put everything in her mouth and she's non verbal just murmur in singing and blabbering. She's a good eater with all texture of foods.
Thanks for your comment. I hope this video was informative for you. I will be posting more videos soon
Please ma, can you also make a content on how to help a child with speech delay?
Hello, thank you for your comment. I will add that topic to my list, but I do highly recommend you reach out to a speech and language pathologist for your child for specific care.
