There is no lead in pencils ! The 'lead' is actually graphite, clay and wax - mixed in various proportions.
It is not true.
No, children with ADHD do not have a specific preference for eating lead pencils. Pica, a condition characterized by persistent and compulsive consumption of non-food items, can occur in some children with ADHD or other developmental disorders, but eating lead pencils specifically is not a common behavior associated with ADHD.
don't let him use pencils until he stops
Yes, eating pencils is dangerous. Pencils are made of materials like wood, graphite, and sometimes plastic, which can pose choking hazards or lead to gastrointestinal blockages. Additionally, the graphite in pencils, while non-toxic in small amounts, can still cause health issues if ingested in larger quantities. It's best to avoid eating non-food items and seek safe alternatives.
Of course its not safe, you could get a disease or something else but dont even lick it
