A member asked:
I have a 3yr old & when she starts to cry she yells out please don't leave me & grabs her stomach & pinches a chunk of it should i be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Abandonment: She has abandonment fears, which can be normal for age, but sound excessive. Discourage the self-injury action (pinching); reassure; think about what tv messages she gets (adult-themed shows/"drama"?); if has had loss (?Military parent, separated parents, loss of loved one?). Definitely discuss with pediatrician, may benefit from short-term counselling to help with proper framing.
