My 3 year old is a terrible nose picker and she loves to eat it 🤮
I have no idea where she picked it up from as none of us do it. I really want to get her to stop it as it’s disgusting and people are starting to comment because she’s doing it ALL THE TIME!
Do any of you have nose pickers and eaters? What did you do about it?

My LG around 2.5-3 used to pick her nose and eat it quite a lot too, especially at bedtime weirdly. It is gross but she has stopped doing it all by herself now because she knows how to blow and wipe her nose instead and we let her get her own tissue and she loves it because she’s a big girl for doing it on her own.

5year old son has been doing it a few months, makes me feel sick!!🤮

My son picks but wipes it in a tissue
I’ve read that children that eat their boogers builds immunity
I laughed and so did my mom because all 3 of her kids did it as children and we were never sick. I’m still never sick 🤣
