My 6 yrs. old son having bed lip biting habit what should i do to stop him?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tics ; habits: You may want to apply bitter melon juice over his lips and don't rinse it off. He will be deterred from lip-biting and eventually will get over the habit. Try positive and negative reinforcements with points for not biting his lips for every hour and points taken off for biting his lips every hour.
