7 year old kid licks everything? Moms help

[Dupioni]

I was looking for some help and advise for my son who has a disability and licks everything when I saw this post. Being a mum of a sick child I know how sensitive parents are, our lives are not to be discussed on Internet without our concent. We prefer to keep things private. If the mother gave you an excuse is because she doesn’t want to share her daughter’s health matters with you, so I believe you should respect that. I saw answers to your post speculating if this mother is in denial ou abusive, which I very much doubt, parents are the first ones to notice something is wrong, and the first ones to look for help. So unless you have evidence that this mother is abusive I advise you to take a step back and save this family from your curiosity. It is not helpful and it is more likely to cause them distress. As you said, you are not the mother.

Not everything that is deemed, 'odd behaviour', is pathological...she may simply outgrow this behaviour.
