5 year old sucks fingers+picks bum and smells finger

My 5 year old boy has been sucking his fingers since he was a baby. But now he's started to pick his bottom and smell the finger afterwards. This happens whenever he's not active. I don't allways realize straightaway and only find out when I see poo on his nose!
Thanks for your help.

This behavior requires firm limit-setting. In no uncertain terms, tell your son to stop this, and place him in time out immediately if it occurs. Such straightforward, no-nonsense limit-setting should take care of the problem
