[quote=Anonymous]I"m an adult picker and nail biter and I swear that crocheting is the best thing ever! If she does all these behaviors while watching TV or engaged in some other activity where her body is kind of still, then a hand activity like knitting or crocheting or even embroidery might really help a lot. It's the free floating anxiety that never really allowed me to sit still and not pick at something. I would actually call a knitting shop and see if there was someone there who might be willing to teach your daughter to knit or crochet. (I actually think crochet is easier). I remember my grandma teaching me all these crafts when I was young and they were really great for soothing myself. She's not too young to learn a hobby like this.[/quote]
