Ellamama, It wasnt until you said it that I realized my 8 year old DD does the same thing as your daughter. She is always putting stuff in her mouth (chews her hair, chews on the clips for her hair, pencils etc.) She is also constantly humming or having to make sounds in one way, shape or form. Drives my DH and I nuts, but now I now that it is a symptom of ADD. She was just diagnose 5 months ago so I am still learning. The biggest learning curve for me what when I was diagnosed with ADD last month. My DD is so thrilled that I have it to and can understand her quirks more.
