There is a support group for trichotillomania. It’s on Facebook. There are other sufferers and parents out there. It helps. Promise 👍
My daughter is 3 in Feb and has always sat there and pulled clumps of her hair out for no reason I asked her why she does it and every time she always says either one of the two” I don’t want to be a girl Spider-Man and hulk are boys and I want to be like them” or ” it makes me laugh” don’t even know how I stopped her tbh but now huge clumps just randomly full out!
My son who’s 8 Yr old did this a few years ago, had lots n lots of bald patches, I tried all sorts of things to try n stop him eg things to keep his hands busy and away from his hair, we sat him down and talked to him to see if he knew the reason, his teacher had a word with him with no such luck, I took him to the to doctors, he had blood tests and it turned out he had iron deficiency.. He was given some medicine for a month and he’s never done it for 2 years, they also say another way you know a child has iron deficiency is when they bite their nails
My daughter done that and they said its common in a lot of babies and small children, they’re only concerned if she started to eat it, their head is still growing and strands become loose so they just lift off the head which gets them inquisitive and pulling more
My niece done this when her younger sister was born. Doctor said it was stress. We just kept telling her no when she had her hands in her hair x
