Sucking on Metal.

[saeedhdr chaudry]

Hi Tumla & Rochelle !
I think 1st you will provide to this boy some articles of wood , plastic &
some magnetic objects of nearly similar sizes and shapes and note his
behaviour.Only then we can proceed.

Hi All

I have a client, three year old boy, who lves to suck on metal, like nails,
screwdrivers etc.
I can't find any reference in my repertories.
Wonder if the group could help.

Thanks
Tumla

Could this be Pica? Or maybe he is lacking nutritionally in iron?
