Pica

NAS50657

Hi all,

I am a very lost parent to a 5 years old girl who has severe pica problem. 

I am heartbroken and depressed to see her chewing and eating woods, flowers, leaves etc.

Any tips, helps or supports which are available to help me and my little girl would be really appreciated. 

thank you !

  • Hi, I assume you've spoken to your GP as well and had other bloods done? Don't know about people but in animals pica can indicate anaemia. Otherwise, I think growing and planting edible things with your daughter, as others have suggested, and gathering them with her and making proper food from them, might be a good way to redirect her?
