Noticing that your child is pulling their hair, skin picking and biting their fingernails? There are many harmless reasons for this (boredom or wanting extra stimulation, for example), but these characteristics could also be a sign of something bigger.
In most cases, kids grow out of these sorts of behaviours, and they’re a very common part of the child development stages when they’re aged one to five, but some of these habits can become concerning and problematic, and may be a sign of trichotillomania, leading to a negative impact on children’s mental health.
