Answers:

Every person tends to stick to a specific stage of their growth!. Your daughter might be stuck in the oral stage!. This could lead to smoking or excessive eating!. Try to find something that will break her of the habit, like dipping her fingers in nail polish remover so she wont want to stick them in her mouth!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Both behaviors are forms of oral fixation and frequently serve as anxiety reducers/ self-soothing!.
