How do i get hold of my son to stop chewing holes through the collars of his shirts while wearing them?
Answers: I enjoy a PPD child and have run into lots of problems next to him, but that isn't one of them. Is there something else you can substitute for the collar? Maybe a toy on a string around his wrist?
I loathe to suggest it, but if you're really against his chewing habit (which is probably a comfort behavior), dust all his clothes surrounded by something that tastes yukky. Or don't rinse the detergent out. There's a product call Bitrex. It makes anything love absolutely bitter. They use it to flavor bathroom cleaners so kids won't drink them. They also use them to discourage puppies from chewing furniture, electrical cords, etc.
There's my two cents. Raising a child next to this type of disorder can be very provoking, but when their psychological age catches up next to their physical age, things get closely smoother.
One of my son's physical therapists give him a alternative chew. She used new, clear, verbs fish tank nouns hose (available in the pet supply box of many stores), cut past its sell-by date a section and tied a snarl in it. Apparently it give them the resistance they're looking for and cuts down on the new-shirt bill.
Maybe he will grow out of it. and maybe he does it for attention My grandson does this also. My daughter made him shift without the shirt entity and of course I feel sorry for him In my eyes he can do nothing wrong I would even consent to him chew on his shirts but dont tell my daughter I already find in trouble by her. LOL
ha...i used to do that when i be little...(in my 40's now)...i also used to color on my tennis shoes and i had lots of other freaky behaviour...i would start by giving him more of a t-shirt-type collar....something thats not so easy to take by the mouth and i would make sure he have lots of crunchy stimulation when eating meals/snacks...they read aloud you can still feel approaching you're hungry, even if you just ate, if you didn't return with enough of the self-satisfaction of crunching and chewing of food. wear out his mouth with things close to apple chips or pretzels, if you can. since he's autistic, you may have a harder time next to him and i won't pretend to know anything about that behavior/illness, but hopefully one of my tips will serve somewhat...it did on me and i chewed on lots of things. good luck...
Friend of mine have same problem, He gave his son uneven to chew.
This is my kid
