[QUOTE="witzend, post: 221190, member: 99"] Are her hands getting dry, or cracked? M went through something similar at this age. It wasn't a real problem until we told the therapist about it. The therapist talked to M and explained to him that this could be a sign of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) so it's really important to pay attention to it.:surprised1: Then she told us, in front of M, that if he got to the point where his hands got dry and cracked, we should really be worried. :angry: So, M started slathering his hands up with soap and not rinsing them. When that didn't make them dry and cracked enough, he started licking them in an effort to make them bleed. I guess what I'm saying is to be really careful to not interject yourself into whatever it is that Duckie is up to. Maybe they taught something about germs and colds at school and she's just washing her hands? [/QUOTE]
