Adjustment and Habit Difficulties

Bedwetting, sleep and feeding difficulties, nail biting and other repetitive behaviours, working with both child and family.

Repetitive habits and adjustment difficulties are often a child’s way of releasing tension. They resolve not through pressure and punishment, but by understanding and regulating the tension underneath.

What we work on together

  • Bedwetting (enuresis) or soiling (encopresis)
  • Sleep and feeding problems
  • Compulsive patterns such as nail biting and hair pulling (trichotillomania)

How we proceed

We first check for a medical cause and work with the paediatrician when needed. Then we observe together when the behaviour increases, build regulation skills with the child, and give the family concrete guidance on routines and responses at home.
