Hair holding habit
My daughter has a habit of holding her hair all the time even after counselling her, scolding her and trying to engage her in different activities she doesn't stop holding her hair. She even sucks her tongue while doing it. Kindly help which doctor to consult and what is the treatment. Thanks
