How worried should I be about my toddler pulling her hair out?

Asked by marauder76 (390points) May 10th, 2009

She’s a 16 month old girl. She does a lot of tugging and twisting on her hair, especially at the end of the day when she is tired. Sometimes her fingers get twisted up in a strand or two and she yanks them out. We try to gently distract her or remove her hand, but she is persistant. This has been going on for a good few weeks. Otherwise, she’s a happy, healthy, delightful little girl. How worried should we be?
