Re:Child pulling own hair out

[Guest guest]

A doctor can test for fungal infections. Otherwise try putting something

like Canesten Cream on it and see if she calms down. A fungus can get

into any sort of break in the skin

Not sure, the little girl is ten years old and non verbal. She has recently made really good progress with the removal of fats such as cooking oils etc., A big reduction self harming on the whole and much calmer/ less aggressions towards others. She is gfcf and other dietary restrictions.

I've worked with two children that did this - both used this as a

form of self injury due to frustration/lack of communication. It was

horrible to witness - unfortunately one of them loved my hair as

well, and it'd take 3 people to get her off of me. Sorry no

suggestions, other than communication and frustration problems

sometimes occur without there being a biomedical link, and

behavioural techniques need to be put in place.

I don’t post very often but I do think this is

a great list.

My daughter pulls her own hair a lot and I think it

is a sensory thing in the main. It does not hurt her as it would another person.

She has said she prefers deep pressure rather than light touches and has found

it difficult until recently to understand that other people don’t feel

this way! She has always hated having her hair brushed but is more than happy

for you to nit – comb her hair.

It is also stress related and when her dad and I separated

she pulled out so much she had a bald patch. If anyone has an answer I would

love to know.
