What to do when a 5 year old has a foot fetish?

Question

my son is crazy about my feet. He'd held my feet tightly against his chest and between his legs and sometimes l**k my toes. I've tried v hard to stop him by talking, by scolding, etc but no success so far. When he was 2, he'd cry if he saw my feet accidentally got wet and would not allow me to go in the shower. Should I seek help for him?

Answer 1

Start wearing socks and find something to distract him from your feet.

Answer 2

I would seek help. Ask his pediatrician first. He/she may suggest what you can do or recommend someone. Don't worry!

Answer 3

every child has their own personality give it time he may overcome it or he will be one of the maney adults with a foot fetish its weird but not uncommon.

Answer 4

i think you should

it may just be a "phase" but if hes been like that since he was 2 he may need some kind of help

just talk to your doctor about it they will give the best advice!

Answer 5

lmao!

Uhh I used to have an ear thing when I was young.  They just look so plump and nice to tug on.  I grew out of it, so I expect your son to do the same.

Answer 6

haha

well, continue to talk to him about it.

consistent reprimanding is the key.

he will outgrow it eventually if you continue to tell him.

good luck xx
