Hi, Thanks and welcome to HCM . You better stop pointing that he is sucking the lip Please ignore even if he is repeating. Once you ignore he stops automatically Once the boy knows that you are very much concerned he continues to do it. Hope this answer serves your purpose. More queries invited. Dr.M.V.Subrahmanyam.
