BREAKING THROUGH CHILD'S PESKY HABITS

Thumb sucking, hair twirling, hair sucking, and nail biting are few pesky habits of a growing child. Such habits are very common to kids aging 7 year up to 10 years old. In fact, research suggests that rhythmic, repetitive motions like sucking or chewing create chemical changes that trigger the release of serotonin, a mood regulator in the brain, according to one authority on the subject. I is not at all a surprise that such stress-easing habits should become common among grade schoolers. But most of this habits are ultimately harmless.
