Thanks for sharing this!! I knew that my little Man was prone to chewing on things and it is sensory, but did not know it was a defined activity with a medical definition! The one thing i would have to add is being careful with batteries from toys etc. If they are chewed and swallowed unwitnessed it is life threatening!

Absolutely, those pesky little things are deadly. Master 10 went through a phase of licking batteries. Thank goodness he never ate any of them but it totally freaked me out.
If you think your little man has pica I would definitely recommend seeing your GP. They will assess and if he does give you some fantastic pointers on how to handle it. Also having it on his medical record is important for if he ever becomes unwell.
