Hi...all these are mannerisms which are quite normal in this age group. The only problem is that - the more you say not to do it - the more they tend to do it. The best option is to avoid telling and reminding him - not to do it. Gradually he himself will forget and come out of this habit. Nothing to worry about it. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
