[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 538069, member: 1233"] My youngest did this for years. Through grade 5 actually. We provided other things to chew on (not gum because he reacted to the artif sweetener until recently, seems to be outgrowing it or becoming less sensitive to it, and also because I dislike finding chewed gum stuck on things) and I didn't buy new shirts for him. Almost all of his shirts came from thrift stores or yard sales for under $1, often 25-50 cents. I kept a stash of them put aside so that when he wrecked one or had to go somewhere nice there was a new, unchewed shirt for him. Don't yell at him for this. He cannot help the need to chew. It is a strong need, and if he cannot do that he will find other things to put into his mouth. You RAELLY don't wnat this. You can go to an Occupational Therapist (OT) supply store and find various chewy things like necklaces, etc.... I like southpawenterprises.com but you can also search for them on amazon, ebay, etc...
