I don't get it. Just can't get him to stop.
He sucks(bites) on the collar of his shirt..it's not all the time but boy more often than i like. I don't know why he does it? :?????:

mrmick · 03-20-2007

Both of my kids did this. I notice other kids do this too. This will pass on its own.

Probably a security issue No different than thumb sucking, or blanket holding.
No worries they won't go to school sucking on their shirt. It too will pass.

thanks....just couldn't picture him in kindergarten sucking on the collar of shirt...it's not really that bad,just makes his shirt soaking wet

My daughter chews on zipper pulls and her hair ( ewwww.) It's a kid thing. This too shall pass. LOL

My oldest had that habit , I noticed it more when he bored or stressed, and yes it does pass

My fiance's mom told me that he used to "eat" the cuffs on the sweaters. It was so bad the teacher's thought the parents weren't feeding him and called child services on the parents thinking that they were starving him..lol. He didn't stop the habit until he was in grade 7!

My son did the same thing. He wrecked many jacket collars and shirt sleeves. He stopped, he's now 7 he didn't have much confidence. Insecure. Much better now too much confidence.

my son did it too, he also sucks his thumb.
I have talked with health department and dentist and all agree
he will stop on his own, nothing to worry about

It just makes for more laundry eh

hey my sons new thing is wiping his mouth on his arm while at the table, yet he wont eat without having a cloth there, which he knows he is supposed to use rather than his arm!!!

Kids can be so funny sometimes
