Recognizing and helping young children with their BFRB's
This could just be a post for the SkinPick team but if anyone else wants to jump in: go ahead! :)
I'm a 42 y/o female with BFRB for as long as I remember and I just joined this program: as sort of a refresher course, since my previous coping strategies weren't sufficient anymore.
I also again learned that his behavoir can be hereditary and unfortunately I also see it in my kids, even though I really try to not give them the wrong example.
Our 4 y/o has been biting nails since forever and my 7 y/o is a skin picker.
I think I alread recognize their triggers (boredom / need for physical stimulation, release of building tenstion, stress, perfectionism) but I really want to give them the best tools at this age already, so they have the best foundation to deal with this: now and in the future. Any suggestions / reading materials / kind of child therapists I should already engage?
Thanks!
