nose picking are some of the
habits that are commonly found in
children. A child may be blissfully
unaware of this fact. Nail biting in

age. However, many children carry

Thumb sucking
Thumb sucking is a behavior found in
humans, chimpanzees, and other primates. It
usually involves placing the thumb into the
mouth and rhythmically repeating sucking
contact for a prolonged duration. It can also
be accomplished with any piece of skin within
reach (such as the big toe) and is considered
to be soothing and therapeutic for the person.
At birth, a baby will reflexively suck any object
placed in its mouth; this is the sucking reflex
responsible for breastfeeding. This reflex
disappears at about four months of age;
thumb sucking is not purely an instinctive
behavior and therefore can last much longer.
At what point does thumb-sucking become a problem?
Thumb-sucking in children
younger than 4 is usually not a
problem. Children who suck their
thumbs frequently or with great
intensity after the age of 4 or 5 or
those who continue to suck their
thumbs after age 5 are at risk for
dental or speech problems.
In rare cases, thumb-sucking
after age 5 is in response to an
emotional problem or other
disorder, such as anxiety. A
child with this type of problem
needs to be evaluated by a
doctor. Most other children stop
sucking their thumbs after
simple treatment measures are
introduced.

or AD/HD) is a neurobehavioral[1]
developmental disorder.ADHD is primarily
characterized by "the co-existence of
attentional problems and hyperactivity, with
each behavior occurring infrequently
alone."ADHD is the most commonly studied
and diagnosed psychiatric disorder in

Childhood ADHD
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder or
ADHD is a common childhood illness that
can be treated. It is a health condition
involving biologically active substances in
the brain. In childhood ADHD, and some
cases of adult ADHD, biological active
chemicals in the brain are in the state of
equilibrium and disequilibrium.ADHD may
affect certain areas of the brain that allow
problem solving, planning ahead,
understanding others’ actions, and impulse
control.
The American Academy of Child Adolescent
Psychiatry (AACAP) considers it necessary that the
following be present before attaching the label of
ADHD to a child:
