Have you noticed that many children now have a strange behavior, that is, they are very interested in "shit pee" and even do something Very disgusting things. For example, eats booger after picking it up...
Eating booger may be experienced by every child, and even some adults have done the same thing when they were young.
But for parents, it is difficult to calm their hearts when they see their children eating booger, and they will most likely think: How dirty is it, too sick? What are the children thinking? Eating booger may be a wonderful experience for them.
Children always pick their nose to eat, why?
From a physiological point of view
The child eats booger simply to save the "baby" dug out of his body again.
Because some dust is sucked into the nasal cavity, it makes the nasal cavity uncomfortable. When picking the nose, the child’s fingers will stimulate the nerves at the end of the nasal cavity, making the brain in a state of excitement and secreting dopamine. This refreshing feeling is similar to the child’s outdoor After a mad run, it feels almost panting.
is like adults like footpaths, open backs, etc. Children's actions and thoughts are very simple, that is, they feel comfortable in direct contact with the nasal cavity. Strong1strong and booger is the "treasure" they get through this way.
If adults do this, it will make people think whether there is a problem, but many adults will pick up their noses and bounce them away. Even the head coach of the German football team likes to eat like children. Booger.
More often, adults bounce off their nose because they subconsciously think it is dirty.But the child feels that this is part of the body.
From a psychological point of view
Children are interested in their own body. When they are very young, babies like things with holes, such as mother’s eyes and father’s nose. Until their hands are awakened by the big hole in the mouth, they will continue to look for other holes, such as ears, belly buttons, and nostrils.
Children will repeatedly put their fingers in to test the results to see if the fingers are strong or the holes are strong. The result is like discovering a new world. The more they explore, the more fun they feel. They continue to explore inside the body and enrich their cognition.
As for eating booger, it means putting an empty product back into another product. They are all connected, and kids will do it naturally.
However, there are some children who pick up their nose because of the finer dust in the nasal cavity, the itching feeling, and the inability to sneeze out, they will start a small hand to help.
But there are a few bacteria on the hands, the more it digs, the more itchy, so that they feel uncomfortable after digging it out, and they just eat it. They think it’s comfortable if they don’t see it.
Many children will observe for a while after digging their nose. If the parents don’t find out, the children will be too lazy to take the paper, or they will not get up and wash their hands and eat the nose. Most of them will be watching During TV and playing with toys.
It's not that the child can't solve the problem, but has a simpler and rude solution.
Some sentimental children think that booger is a treasure, which should be cherished and given to their parents to taste. The parents are also very helpless, even wondering if the child has a pica.
Do you want to stop the child from eating booger?
Pica is indeed eating some weird food, but it is a kind of physiological stereotype.Not only eating booger, you may eat more weird foods that are difficult for normal people to swallow.
Moreover, most of the children with pica are accompanied by thin body, picky eaters, spleen and stomach discord, developmental delay, etc., and they will even eat a food repeatedly when they are stressed.
So, the child's nose-eating is only a short-term behavior, and it can be relieved when they grow up. Strong1strong does not have to equate it with pica.
Some parents may ask: So, is the child allowed to eat booger freely?
No, because nasal excrement belongs to the dust and dirt remaining in the nasal cavity, it is also accompanied by bacteria, viruses, etc., entering the mouth is equivalent to directly bringing bacteria and viruses into the mouth, and the child may suffer from oral diseases.
Therefore, physiologically, should keep the nasal cavity, fingers, and the growth environment clean and tidy to ensure that the disease does not come from the nose and does not enter the mouth.
In addition, parents also need to combine games in daily life to let their children understand the composition of the nose, the hazards of booger, or how to behave gracefully after picking up booger.
You can read some picture books about booger for your children, such as "Little Pills of Hairy Dregs", "How the Princess Picks Booger", etc. The children will know how to deal with booger and how to pick their nose.
If older children can't come, can show him some pictures of digging his nose , so that the child can have an intuitive visual impact, so that he can truly realize the danger of nose digging.
If the child picking his nose can't be solved at once, remind the child not to pick his nose with sharp objects, or cut his nails frequently, carry wet tissues with him, and deal with booger in a relatively healthy manner.
It is not a bad thing for children to eat nose feces. Parents need not be too anxious, create a clean environment, make the air humid, and let children develop good hygiene habits, and the harm can be controlled to a minimum.
