Home improvement projects, "Get'er done."

Teeth grinding can be caused by stress and anxiety, it often occurs during sleep and is more likely caused by an abnormal bite or missing or crooked teeth.

Turn off the television and teach your children how to think.

_______________________________________________

*I do not read or write anything in the "Comments" section.*

 

In toddlers, it's usually 'just because.'

Toddlers explore. It's how they learn. So a toddler who grinds her teeth is most often doing it because she has discovered that she can. She has found out that it makes a sound, that it gets her lots of attention and that it feels interesting.

Don't make a big deal out of it. Instead, when you catch her grinding her teeth, just calmly distract her with something else.

Ask her a question which requires a verbal response. Hand her a toy. Point out something to look at. In short, replace one activity with another and continue to do so until she outgrows the habit.

If you continue to make a big deal out of it, she won't stop.
