when HuffPost asked if she had any advice for parents who want to encourage their children to kick the habit. “Trying to control children’s restless energy is often a fool’s errand.”
Parents can set up little incentives like stickers, toys, treats or even extra screen time to reward non-face-touching.“By saying, ‘I like where your hands are’ when by their sides, or ‘I like that you’re not touching your face right now,’” they’re aware of what they should not be doing,” saidWhile positive reinforcement is key, parents can also help their kids become more aware of their face touching by simply pointing it out.
“If you would remind a child every single time you see them touching their face, eventually it becomes a conditioned response where they will find themselves removing their hands from their faces,” she added.
