[quote=Anonymous]My 8 year old has ADHD, OCD, and anxiety and she picks at her skin so much. She has scars all over her arms and legs and things take forever to heal because of the picking. Now that it's warmer and she is wearing shorts and t-shirts, people are making comments (like, "oh, are those bug bites?" not anything ill intentioned). Her sheets even have blood stains on them. She has some chewable necklaces that I bought when she was chewing holes in clothes (she's stopped that) but isn't crazy about wearing them because she thinks it's too obvious that it's something "special." She does chew on her knuckles but the picking is the bigger issue. What has worked for your kids?[/quote]
