Have you ever wondered why some children constantly chew on clothing, pencils, or even their hair? In this episode ofAll Things Sensory, we’re diving intooral sensory seeking—what it is, why it happens, and how to support children who experience it.
Children who are sensory seekers often crave oral input to regulate their nervous system. Chewing, sucking, and biting provide proprioceptive input that can be calming, especially for children experiencing stress, anxiety, or fight-or-flight responses.
Oral sensory seeking is more than just a “bad habit”—it’s communication. With the right tools, strategies, and understanding, you can help your child meet their sensory needs safely and successfully.
