IHaveQuestions ...

Possibly have them purchase something which will occupy their hands whenever they become bored or agitated and begin picking or plucking at hair growth.

I would suggest buying several small containers of Silly Putty or other malleable material that is geared toward kids that like to play with "smooshy" or "curiously odd" substances (Play Doh, Frap, etc.).


The Silly Putty provides an immediate tactile response and since it is malleable, one can pull, stretch, pluck, pop, or snap it and it will always return to its original shape ... a blob of putty.

You may just want to run it by your friend and see what they have to say about it. The Silly Putty can be carried around in its small egg-shaped container and is available in several colours ... one is flesh tone and can be used discretely in one's hand and nobody will notice they're fidgeting with it.

Just an idea for you.

Take care,
