7 Year Old Eating Wood on His Bed

Google / research PICA

"Assuming" this is a real question, he may be anemic...low on iron. See a doc and get some blood work done.

I recommend speaking to your son's doctor about it.

yes. a talk with the pedi is needed here. eating non food items is not good, and is usually due to a nutrient defficiency(sp?)
definitely give the pedi a call.

Kids eat weird stuff when their system is lacking nutrients. He needs an immediate blood work done so they can see where that lack is. If nothing shows in the blood then they need to do a more thorough exam.

consistently eating non-food items is a medical condition called pica. You need to take him to the doctor. The condition can seriously affect his physical health.

Pica is also a mental health concern.

he's got pica, or is deficient in some sort of nutrient. talk to his pediatrician.
