[quote=Anonymous]Ugh. My 4 year old has started eating her boogers. It's disgusting and when I see her do it, I say (calmly and without getting excited), "that's gross, do you need a tissue?" It's not working. A few questions: 1. Can you really avoid nose picking at this age? It's not like you can really get those crusty stuck boogers out by blowing or wiping anyways. How do you handle self-service booger removal for your 3-5 year olds? 2. Is it less gross or equally gross to instruct her to wipe it on the underside of her shirt or in her armpit (which is what my mother used to do)? Damn girl's clothes never have pockets, so I can't have her carry a tissue around. 3. Do I keep correcting her, try to shame or embarrass her, or just ignore the booger eating? I do NOT want this habit to get well established, but also don't want to give it unnecessary attention that will make her do it more. Help, I'm grossed out and don't know what to do.[/quote]
