How do you stop your toddler from eating clay?

Here are some tips to help stop your toddler from eating clay:

- Redirect their attention. If you catch your toddler eating clay, try to redirect their attention to something else, such as a toy or a snack.

- Remove the clay from their reach. Keep any clay or other potentially harmful objects out of your toddler's reach. This may mean putting them in a high cabinet or closet, or locking them away in a safe place.

- Explain why it's not safe to eat clay. Talk to your toddler about why it's not safe to eat clay. Explain that clay can make them sick and can even cause them to choke.

- Praise them when they don't eat clay. If you catch your toddler resisting the temptation to eat clay, be sure to praise them. This will help them learn that not eating clay is the right thing to do.

- Be patient. It may take some time for your toddler to learn that eating clay is not okay. Be patient and consistent with your efforts, and eventually, they will get the message.

If you are concerned that your toddler has eaten a significant amount of clay, contact your doctor immediately.
