Guest guest Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Hi Everyone, I've noticed within a couple of threads there is talk about oral awareness and mouthing. I was wondering if you could tell me more about this or lead me to info about it. My son is 2.5 (will be 3 at the end of May) and is now licking his hands and feeling his tongue all the time. This is totally new. It's like he's found his tongue and wants to understand it better. It's been a nightmare keeping him healthy this winter. So is this indeed a good thing and something he needs to work through? Should I discourage this behavior? I have been taking his hands out of his mouth constantly but now wonder if I should just let him do it because it will help with speech. Thanks in advance for your help, Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
