Two months ago my 2 1/2 year old daughter began peeling off labels, stickers, price tags, etc. around the house. I asked her to stop, told her she was damaging things, and then gave her something else to do with her hands. It continues. She has peeled off all the decals on her dollhouse and toy cars, her wallpaper border in her bedroom, and front and back covers of her books. She rushes to help me put away groceries so she can try to peel off the pricetags and labels.
I've been trying to stop her from continuing this, but I do not punish her since she does not seem to be doing it to deliberately damage things. I have wondered if I should just ignore it. Then his morning I caught her peeling off the wallpaper in one of our bathrooms! She attends preschool 12 hours a week and her teacher has not noticed any peeling in the classroom.
We also have a 1 1/2 year old daughter. They are not bored & get plenty of mental and physical stimulation. Do I need to worry about OCD or is this normal 2 1/2 year old behavior?? What should I do??
Thanks.
