Sounds like it is a habit. Since you did not stop the behavior when she was 2 more than likely she just got "used" to doing it. My son was a shirt sucker so I know how frustrating it is. I broke him by first showing him books and info on germs and how he could get real sick from putting it in his mouth. (Now 9 he won't even let me drink from his cup) Then when he got caught he got one warning. The second time I caught him I put lemon juice or vinegar in his mouth. It doesn't take much, just enough to gross them out. The key is to be consistent. I would also get her something she can bite without getting in trouble. Something safe, clean and portable.

Since My Daughter was 2 she had Unusual Habits
Since My Daughter was 2 she had Unusual Habits. She would bit on carpet, plastic, straws, anything she can chew on. at first i thought it was cause she was hungry, so i would sit her at the table and feed her my self to make sure she was eatting. Then i though it was because she was teething, but now she's3 she still continuing to eat on them. I make sure that there is not anything around for her to eat on,but we have carpet in our house, so on the corners on the living rooms and the tv room is all pulled up from her pulling pices up and eatting it, i don't know wat else to do? is this a normal behavior that kids go threw at a young age? I know some kids eat sand and eat glue, picking in thier noise, suck on their shirts, and some just bit people, is it a behavior like that? Answer
