In this blog post, we share some of this feedback, whether related to thumb-sucking or other behaviours, in the hope that it will be an encouragement to all who are seeking solutions.
Hand biting is a common behaviour in which an individual bites or chews on their own hands or fingers. This behaviour is typically seen in children, but it can also occur in adults. Hand biting can be a coping mechanism for stress, anxiety, boredom, or sensory needs, and it can lead to physical harm if left unchecked. In this blog, we'll explore the reasons behind hand biting, the potential consequences, and some strategies for managing the behaviour.
