2 year old licking things
One of my mindees is 2 1/2 and has been with me since Easter. She does come from a disadvantaged family hence I'm a little bit concerned at this new behaviour of hers for the last couple of weeks which is to lick things - chalk, cupboard doors, window glass. She has not done this before and I know all kids put things in their mouths and lick things but I'm wondering if she is lacking in any vitamins or suchlike? From what I've heard through nan (and mum) she doesn't have the best of diets at home, nan not too happy as she is never offered milk and mum says 'she won't drink anything but coke' She has water or weak juice at mine no problem.
