Tongue out when focusing
Hello, my kid is 3 yrs old. He has a habit of keeping his tongue out almost 80% of his time and mostly when he is concentrating on something or playing . He has this habit since he was a yr old and is not going away. We continously remind him to keep tongue inside but it's not improving at all. please advise what to do
