Many bad habits of the child are not a serious reason for fears for his life and health. The bad news is that in the future they can cause ridicule of others.
It is considered normal if a child has one or two bad habits, over time it is quite possible to get rid of them. If there are many of them, one is replaced by another and over time the situation does not improve, then this is a serious reason to think about whether everything is in order in the family, whether enough time is being devoted to the child.
Seemingly harmless habits can lead to further behavioral problems. Bad habits are usually a signal that a child is ill. Children perfectly feel even the well-hidden dislike of others, inattention on their part.
Parental quarrels, lack of affection, care, warmth also negatively affect the child. In these and other similar cases, elementary thumb sucking has a calming effect on him.
Some of the habits may also be of a medical nature. Very often, simultaneously with a bad habit, the child can perform any other movements. Subsequently, they can gain a foothold at the level of conditioned reflexes.
There are many reasons for the appearance of bad habits in a child. One of the most common is excitement. Excitement can also be caused by the anticipation of an upcoming important conversation, watching a movie, or visiting a doctor.
It is not always possible to overcome bad habits, but you can try with the help of kindness, affection and attention to the child.
