Anyone the parent of a picker? As in a scab picker? My 6 yo is picking at the same 3 bug-bites daily, for what seems like weeks now. They bleed every day, and I find little wads of tissue with blood spots by the bathroom sink daily (from her trying to stop the bleeding).
Less than a year ago she would *freak out* whenever she bled, so this is new behavior--but I am wondering how "normal" it is. She is being treated for anxiety related issues, and I can see this being an OCD type thing....or is it just normal kid stuff? I am (in general) having a difficult time discerning what is typical kid stuff and what is a concern
So....pickers?
