Re: 2year old holds and pulls ears

@Muzna

Are you sure it’s not just a simple habit that many kids form?**
I am told that I used to hold/play with my ear when I was sleepy or having my bottle. It was just a habit and went away as I grew up.**
My cousin used to hold his mother’s braid to get to sleep and then would look for it in the middle of the night…it got so bad for my phupho that she eventually grew her hair long enough to cut off enough length so that he could have it in his crib and she wouldn’t have to be with him all night.
My nephew grabs the shirt of either his mom or dad when he’s in their arms having milk from his bottle.

I believe these are considered “self-soothing” techniques and children could resort to them if they are scared or need reassurance.

I totally did it too!!! I remember doing it. It’s soothing !!! I would even pull my dad’s ears. My own kid is showing an interest in earlobes hehe
