do you wash and use hand sanitizer alot? if so she is just doing what you do, they {children} do what they see, and with the new strain of influenza going around, it is probly a good idea for her to tell the other kids to wash and sanitize before they play... but i gotta think that she tells them to, and she probly does it alot {wash and sanitize} becouse she see's someone else close to the family and her do it, so like i said, and sure you know, kids are a product of their environment, they copy what others do, and as far as the water bottle, there is or could be a couple of things with that, one thing, the less serious thing, is that it is prbably the replacement of a pacifier, it is type of security for her to carry and hold and have the water bottle with her all the time, but there is or could be a more serious thing or warning for the carrying of the water bottle, {this happened with my granddaughter} mine was always drinking water, always wanted her water cup or bottle, and always "seemed" to be thirsty, I strongly recomend that you have her tested for diabeties, one of the common symptoms of diabeties is that they are always thirsty, my son and daughter in-law, had my granddaughter tested, and found out that i was right, she was diagnosed with juvenile diabeties, and now has to have her blood checked 4 to 5 times a day, and get insulin shots at least 4 times a day, So I highly recomend to get her checked if she drinks lots of water daily, {rather be safe than sorry} if she is not drinking the water alot, and just feels the need to carry the bottle, then like i said, it could just be a security issue, and replacment for the pacifier she once had, if she did have one of them when younger, so good luck, hope this helps, but think strongly about having her tested for juvinile diabeties!!!! good luck, and god bless!!! |
