Update/ touching tongue

[Guest guest]

I looked at her tongue, and didn't see anything out of the ordinary. has

all of her baby teeth.

She had speech therapy this morning, so I talked to her therapist about this.

's becoming more aware of her tongue these days due to the intense hands

on therapy. Plus with 's sensory issues she is now craving more input to

her mouth, so I've got to supply more input...

Thanks for the feedback,

Nina

P.S. 2nd night in a row without night terrors - yeah!

Re: touching tongue

Could she be getting a molar? Sometimes when a child is getting a new

tooth it can rub on the side of the tongue causing a small lump or

sore and it can be irritating.

> I do have another issue with (it's ALWAYS something isn't

it) right now. She has started touching her tongue (night terrors

started before this too) a lot. When she was really little the

tongue seemed to be out all the time. Over the years she's gotten

better about keeping it in.

> Last Saturday during the Santa breakfast she was walking around

constantly touching her tongue. I talked to her speech therapist

about it last Monday. We both agreed that a big event like that,

combined with 's sensory issues, made her a little uneasy. She

didn't cry at all during the breakfast, but she did get in her

comfort position a few times. We think this was a way to calm

herself.

> She didn't seem to do it much since last Saturday. Well today you

can't keep her hands off of her tongue. She doesn't seems to get

getting sick, and nothing stressful appears to be going on today.

She's sticking it out, and kind of rubbing her hand along the side of

her tongue. I keep handing her the tube (kind of like a chewy tube)

she chews on. She'll chew on it awhile, and then right back to the

tongue/hand thing. It's not very attractive, and is driving me

crazy!!!
