Messy 2 year old
My daughter just turned 2 years old. Im not sure if its normal behavior or not but she tends to make mess of food and I mean she has to dump her food all over, throw it, squeeze it and rub it all over herself. Everything and anything she eats or drinks she has to smear it all over herself and everything around her. She tends to put EVERYTHING in her mouth still as well even non edible objects. Im not sure if its a sensory seeking thing or if its just a normal behavior for her age. I have a 6 year old son but he never did this but he also skipped the everything to the mouth stage as well. Im getting extremely over stimulated with the messes consistently. Theres been nothing I can do to stop her she does it immediately and barely eats the food she's given because she just smears it and squishes it in between her hands? Ive tried sensory toys, sensory projects with sand,playdoh and water but she kept trying to eat the sand and playdoh and rub it into her hair. 😭 Im at a loss and Im hoping if its a phase its over soon because this mama is getting frustrated.
