just thought I share a personal experience on this..

my son was also pulling hair, and squeezing pillows,

hugging very hard.. I gradually decreased his

supernuthera vitamin and dmg vitamin was slowly

discountinued.. and this help alot!! he is now taking

half the dose of supernuthera that he was taking

before. He is only 3 yrs. 2 mos. old and when he had

started taking them he was 2 yrs. 9 mos. old. If your

child is taking any of the mentioned supplements you

might just want to try decreasing them to see if this

helps..
