[QUOTE="3boyzmom, post: 614721, member: 17465"] My son was diagnosed with trichotillomania when he was about 8. For a time we had to shave his head so he wouldn't pull. It is a nervous habit like biting your nails. I hope you can talk to her, find her stressors, and help her. When we noticed our son pulling we gave him a stress ball or something to do with his hands like drawing or crafts. His worst was bedtime. He just couldn't unwind and said it was like his brain was a TV and the channels kept changing. Be patient and be sure to explain it to teachers. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
