Top Ten Ways to Help a Child Stop Hair Pulling or Skin Picking
Hair pulling and skin picking are two of a cluster of behaviours known as Body Focused Repetitive Behaviours. Trichotillomania Support is an organisation for all your concerns about your child. Welcome to our family.
You can print the numbers for your child to colour in, when they have managed that number of hours or minutes without pulling or picking.
It is likely that your child will be texture-oriented. We recommend taking them to a fabric store and asking them to feel different fabrics to identify which they prefer and which they dislike. This might save you from buying them clothes they refuse to wear and will help you to identify the fabrics and feels which soothe them. Get creative, make some fun inner cuffs for school shirts.
Teach them to reach for textures to soothe themselves.
