How do you stop a toddler licking and wiping fingers? – How can I stop Miss 2 from licking her fingers and rubbing them on everything and everyone… Yuck!
Understanding child development means this is actually quite normal. Sensory motor period. Often hands in mouth.
However if excessive just put in time to taking hands out of their mouth, no yelling or it’s bad. Just be firm and consistent. Make it fun too, hands out in a nice voice.
Do they have painful gums?
Be consistent. Hands down, it will change. Takes time.
She is only two… The world is such an exciting and stimulating place. But rest assured, she probably won’t be doing this at 20 years old. Just encourage her to use a baby wipe or a cloth. The other thing is, kids at this age are often teething so they tend to out their hands in their mouths and dribble.
I think she might be learning, different tastes and textures and she interested in them, hopefully its just a little faze that she is going through and will stop soon.
