My daughter (10 years old) has been sucking her tongue while sleeping for some time. Makes sounds like a baby with a dropped teat. Should I worry about this? Will it go through?
Don't worry about this problem. There is nothing to worry about. The problem should be left alone. You don't have to get upset with it and you definitely shouldn't make it public. The daughter should not experience shame, fear, guilt should not appear in her head, she should not think that this is a problem for her and for the state. It is an established habit resulting from a high need to suck. You can only make sure that your daughter has as much opportunity to relieve tensions as possible, so that before going to bed she has the opportunity to run out, "go crazy", lose excess energy, then calm down and fall asleep calmly when it's time to rest. Please also remember that sensitive children need special attention, attention to fulfillment of all needs, peace, relaxation, and relieving their dormant tensions. If the condition persists, please contact a child psychologist.
