Posted: Wed Aug 31, 2011 7:16 pm Post subject: why did my daughter do this to herself?
Was going round Iceland today getting some bits and when i gt 2 the till i realised Louise had her arm over her mouth so i asked her to take her arm away frm her mouth and when she did i realised that she had been biting her arm and had a huge red mark on her arm.
Shes nearly 5. Why would she do this? I dnt even know wot 2 say 2 her. _________________

Kids do daft things sometimes with no reason. I remember at that age sticking a smartie up my nose just to see if it would fit my mum had to use tweezers lol and also remember being older than her and for some reason i started suckin on my arm and next thing i had what looked like a huge lovebite lol
She prob wouldnt even know why she did it if you asked her tbh x _________________

Yer maybe thats what shes done actually sucked her arm rather than bit it.
I told her it was wrong and i dnt want to see her doing it agen, didnt really know what to say. _________________

My sister used to give herself love bites on her arm when she was 5/6/7ish
I recall having to go to A&E aged 6 ish to have several raisins removed from nose

*removed from my nose
Insertion of random things into noses seems to have been quite a fashionable pass time for us on here as children then?!

When I was that age I put hair bobbles round my ankles at bedtime ! and by morning my feet were swelled up
Was she biting or just sucking ? it prob didn't hurt but she thought it was fun cos her arm changed colour. _________________

On sunday Joe said to me 'mummy, can you put your finger up my nose?'
I said 'eeeeeeeerrrrrrrr why you little stinker?'
and he said 'because i putted a chip in there!'
and when Liam was the same age, he shoved a bean up there!!!
What is that? If your not hungry - dont eat it, but dont stick it up your nose for later!! _________________
