I know someone on here sewed the sleeves shut on a sweatshirt so the dcks couldn't pick their scabs. Do you use them on every age? My almost 4 year old princess has been picking at a scab on her face. Today she wiped the blood on her shirt and on the toys she was playing with. The toys were washable, but I really don't want her blood everywhere. Would you use a shirt with the sleeves sewn shut on her or what are some other ideas?

absolutely.
She will most likely need a sweatshirt thick material one. She'll adjust to playing in a few minutes at her age.

Although I prefer to air dry ouchies if I have a picker we break out the bandages.

It depends on if they will leave the bandage alone. Often pickers will pick at the edge of the bandages and create another skin break.
I don't allow bandages during naptime. I've had a situation where the kid has played bandaid during nap and had it in his mouth. It's a choking hazard.
Picking shirts work great for nap. Safe and comfy.Comment

She is creating the scab herself. She picks at a spot until it breaks open and then keeps picking at it. I think she does it because her mom and I tell her she can't. I'm going to leave a shirt with the sleeves sewn shut on it on her until this one on her face heals. Then I'm going to put it on her if she tries to start a new one when I have her. ThanksComment
