Hi, My 21 month old son is interested to eat cement & color pieces. I gave him a lot of Medicines but all of these methods are fail to stop him to eat earth dust, color & cement. He has passed black colored stool also. And he has too much jiddii & aggressive behavior also. So please give me some ideas for improving his habits.
