Is anyone else’s kiddo obsessed with tearing everything up into tiny pieces? I’m almost started to get a little worried that we are looking at something compulsive. My 5 year old is tearing up EVERYTHING from food to paper to trash bags…literally everything into teeny tiny little pieces.Example: if he eats a sausage biscuit he will take the top bun tear it into tiny pieces and make a pile and eat it then he does the same process with the sausage and the bottom biscuit. He does this process with every single meal I am not exaggerating. At first I thought it was just him being goofy but he freaks out if you try to stop him. Am I overthinking this ?
No. I’d get him evaluated for OCD or autism spectrum disorders or anything else it might be. Even a reaction to anxiety.
