[QUOTE="Shari, post: 279258, member: 1848"] Wee difficult child eats his shirts, too. KJS - I wish I knew how to make them stop. difficult child 1 only finally stopped when he had a bad enough infection from his picking that he was in a LOT of pain for an extended period of time and couldn't even wear tennis shoes. Seems every other deterrent I tried did not work with him. difficult child 2 looks like he is going to be the same way. He seems to have a little more will-power than difficult child 1 did at this age, and yesterday, despite the fact that he HATES socks (sensory thing), he did keep one on for the whole day (he took the other off). So we will see...he's a bit afraid of infections (for whatever reason) and maybe this will be bad enough to stop him from picking. That and when I noticed his toe, I literally had just finished relaying a story to a friend about an older man who passed away last year due to an infection in his foot from blisters from new shoes. He was diabetic and unaware and didn't notice the infection until he had gangrene, they had to amputate part of his foot, and he still did not make it. I'd have never told difficult child that story on purpose, but I noticed his toe immediately after relaying it... [/QUOTE]
