Obsesive 1.8 yrs Child.

[knownsense]

Hi, i have a daughter aged 1.8 yrs. While on bed, she asks my me or my wife to straighten our hand, and then initally touches it towards the elbow (across the medial head of triceps brachii muscles/Brachialis muscle/Pronator Teres Muscle/Brachioradialis Muscle) very delicately and gradually starts rubbing her hands rigourously (many a times my wife's hand turns red and gets warm). Through out this activity she internally bites and ***** her lower lip. She has been directed to refrain frm such behaviour, she listens for a while but then again repeats it after sometime. She even touches other kids' faces in public thereby sucking her lower lip. What could be the reason and the solution to this?
Thnx and rgds.

Thanks for the early advice.
You are right maybe or rather It seems very relieving to agree with you.

Still Few things bother :

1. This particular behaviour of hers cannot be instigated by any source of information(including TV) she witnesses. Secondly she is been taken care of by her grand mother, me and wife and so no other person is associated with her so far.

2. She sleeps besides her mother at night and she repeatedly asks my wife to lay her hand straight so that she could repeat her behaviour and then she goes to sleep gradually. Even when she occasionaly wakes from her sleep at night she starts her said behaviour and repeats it till she falls asleep again, at times my wife's hand turn red and the pain wakes her up.

In the said situation wherein at night her mom is required to make her go asleep, how can we follow your advice and get away from her?, she would not sleep otherwise.

Thanx and regds

First perhaps dont get to laying on the bed and your wife doesnt have to let her do it she could remove herself from the situation, I dont think she has a problem at all, she is very young and dont ask her to stop ,take yourselves away from it.you are the adults you could just not be there .Sounds like normal affection,but dont blow it out of proportion ,she is too young to have the feelings suggested unless she is seeing it somewhere, TV perhaps, and who else is closely assosiated with her.

Sorry for this, bt i forgot to add a bit in my question. When asked to refrain from this act my daughter touches her vagina. In addition to this, she also occassionaly touches my mom's stomach thereby sucking her lower lip.
