Child Ingesting dirt

Posted By Collette on July 21, 1999 at 01:08:31
I understand that all children will eat dirt from time to time.  My 2 year old however, will pick up a handfull of dirt when I'm not looking and eat it.  If she is in the house she will find shoes by the door and pick dirt off the bottoms and eat it.  Tonight she had a cookie in one hand and a handfull of dirt in the other and she was eating the dirt.  Is there a reason for her seemingly insatiable appetite for dirt, or is it something that she will grow out of.  Honestly, I feed her a balanced diet every day.
